Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

1990

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Missed seeing this last year at the New Bev, luckily I didn't miss it again because they played it during the family matinee which was perfect meaning I could share the movie with my son. He'd seen it before, when he was around 3 ie: he didn't it at all. The effects in this movie are extremely impressive, thanks to the Jim Henson Creature Shop, and are perfectly suited to be enjoyed on film. As excited as I am…

The Tortoise and the Hare

1935

★★★ Liked Watched

Classic Silly Symphony short that confusingly starts with a Mickey title card even though it's a standalone short. I love the lines on the main character models. Looked fantastic on 16mm, even if the sound was out or sync. Great gags, especially with the tortoise. The face my son made when he saw it was an old Disney short was extremely cute. I've raised him right.

Don't feel comfortable rating this because I watched the AI dubbed version and found that to be awful and distracting. I might have an enjoyed a subtitled version of this Spielbergian UFO story that looked pretty good. Definitely could use a trim of about 15-20 minutes. Went in totally blind, regretfully. Most satisfying part of the screening is that someone from the film distribution company was present and I was able to tell him directly that the AI dubbing was horrible.

Ghostlight

2024

★★★ Liked Watched

As emotionally impactful as it is contrived, though no less delightful, Ghostlight works pretty well. My major gripe was that the movie felt poorly directed allowing some of the performances to seem inauthentic when really all these actors feel authentic, I've met characters like these in real life. The story of a father dealing with his trauma in a way that forces him to relive it was such a great premise that the movie takes its time to get to…
