The Phoenician Scheme

2025

★★★ Watched

I took a comparatively long bathroom break in the last third of this movie 
And I hate stepping over feet in the dark and blocking peoples views 
So I never do this. But I had to do it during this movie so I didn’t waste time AFTER the credits.

Michael Cera should’ve been in more Wes Anderson flicks, why hasn’t he. He’s kind of reprised his Youth in Revolt role, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I love blue eyeshadow but im so tired. Great sets, beautiful sets.

1/2 star for Riz Ahmed

After Hours

1985

★★★★ Watched

things I felt deeply: missing a train home, hanging out with someone and thinking I never want to see this person again, being treated egregiously unfairly, putting up posters saying 'dead person -->" and hightailing it out of there to go people please somewhere else

The Aviator

2004

★★★★ Watched

Too real. I mean, Leo put his all in this performance. The plane crash scene. (I mean it must’ve been crazy in real life when he recovered from that too.) The naked in the theatre with piss bottles scene. The bathroom scenes especially the one where he refused to get the man with crutches a towel! (Dude his hands were all soapy)

Is Leo ready for Aviator 2? Are he and Marty on the phone?

As always, Cate Blanchett, as Katharine Hepburn, sealed the deal for me.
