for whatever reason, i decided to try to list every. single. movie. i’ve ever seen. good or bad. why? i don’t know. it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Mission: Impossible 7 Dead Reckoning Part One – it’s alright. It’s really convoluted. It’s really bloated. There’s a lot of fan service in the worst way…sure, it’s fun to watch Tom Cruise run…but do we really need extended *extended* scenes of him running, and running…and running…from no one? And c’mon, *no one* could come up with a better name for the “villain” than “the entity”? I’m pretty sure even chatGPT could come up with a better name…ironically. The last 30 mins or so are pretty good though. b

The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl – wildly creative and absurd in the best way, but yet, sneakily intellectual! A loving tribute to the “artsy people” / “weirdos” from college. drunk/fever dreams, and living life at 4 in the morning. Loved it! a-

persuasion (2022) – I think I can understand the hate from Austen fans, but if you just think of it as a lightweight romcom, it’s entertaining, but with some flaws…like the suddenness of the resolution. Dakota Johnson is good. The casting for Wentworth is just bad. b-

the picture of dorian gray (1945) – decent. But the fast-talking style of the old movies is a bit too much for the glib Lord Henry. b

playtime – Billed as Jacques Tati’s masterpiece and the most expensive film in French cinema history at the time. It’s like a series of slightly related vignettes. The first one is a cross of Mr. Magoo meets one of Richard Scarry’s office buildings. By the nightclub/restaurant vignette, it becomes choreograph chaos that’s almost overwhelming and reminds me of the Tango short film. It’s borderline absurd and strangely intriguing. b

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry – It’s disjointed with poor pacing. It’s more like a bunch of vignettes cobbled together. But the setting is gorgeous and it’s geared towards book-lovers. The characters are likeable and it’s an effective tear-jerker. The ending is satisfying. b
