Oh man! Such a fun watch. Not sure how many times I've re-watched, but it's an easy one to revisit.
We watched A Quiet Place last night, so it makes sense I'd be in the mood to watch Emily Blunt kill aliens.
I miss Bill Paxton

A Quiet Place 2018
Really enjoyed this one! I'm not much of a horror movie watcher, but this was really more in the thriller territory and great fun to watch.
This movie made me realize how much I take sound and music for granted in cinema.
Looking forward to Part II

The Last Black Man in San Francisco 2019
I was entranced by the first few minutes. That other-worldly light on the milk crate preacher then juxtaposed with the almost painting-like shot of the two main characters waiting for the bus. The artifice of the moments created was an experience.
Really a wonderful and sad film. Lots of beautiful shots and imagery. Along with a very compelling use of music and sound.
So many interesting themes throughout, though a few resonated with me more than others. Things like holding…

The Cabin in the Woods 2011
I do love subversion of a genre!
Aside from terrible stoner cliche & Chris Hemsworth barely holding onto his American accent, this was really fun!
A solid 3.5 out of 5 Mermen
Thanks Joss Whedon

Seven Psychopaths 2012
I loved In Bruges, but I didn't really love this one.
Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, and Tom Waits... I really thought I'd love it. Individual performances were great. Walken is lovely to watch here.
I guess I thought it was a little boring at times and that it tried a little too hard to be clever.

Punch-Drunk Love 2002
I felt like I was having an anxiety attack through large sections of this movie. I think that's a testament to Anderson really crafting the experience.
It's beautiful and weird and chaotic and quirky. I enjoyed not knowing what was going to happen next.

Killing Them Softly 2012
Here I am watching this in 2020 seeing James Gandolfini drinking himself to death while saying nothing matters and the the country is fucked. And Brad Pitt saying America is a business while calling bullshit on the politicians.
All this while Ben Mendelsohn looks like he's melting.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly 2018
This is worth a watch based on the animation alone. It's really stunning. I was in awe of the skill and artistry that went into animating this film.
Beyond the animation, I found this to be a really strong entry in the Dragon Ball universe. I've been an avid fan of Dragon Ball since I was young and it has remained a guilty pleasure of mine into my adult years. There are many terrible movies in the DBU and many…

The Goonies 1985
I think I was supposed to watch this as a kid and then revisit it with nostalgia goggles later in life. Instead I watched this for the first time at 35. It's pretty fun at times, but I'm not sure I get the super cult following appeal that it has.
Love that Sloth tho

Coherence 2013
I was really ready to give this a lower rating and dig into what I didn't like about it, but then I read that is was basically filmed on no budget, in 5 days, with a large portion of it being improvised. With that in mind, color me impressed.
I love the idea behind the movie. Sure it's laid out and explained in a very heavy-handed way for most of the movie, but given the movie-making conditions, I think a…
