Animal World

2018

★★★★ Watched

Okay so this movie is about a guy who wakes up on a boat and is forced to play rock paper scissors for Michael Douglas and whoever loses dies. Kind of like Squid Game, but instead of elaborate set pieces it’s just rock paper scissors.

ALSO. The guy has hallucinations where he becomes a superhero clown and fights aliens. These hallucination sequences are shockingly slick. 

I watched this on a plane like 5 years ago.

Mountainhead

2025

★★★½ Watched

“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” but for tech bro douchebags.

This movie is 100 minutes long and 95 of them are just a camera pointed at the floor. Sucked ass.

Daddy and Them

2001

½ Watched

I’ve got to stop letting my father in law pick the movies.

This movie has no action in it. I don’t mean there aren’t any explosions or fight sequences. I mean the entire movie is people sitting around and talking, often repeating themselves over and over again. No one moves. Aggressively uncinematic.

Also I have two young kids and almost no time to watch movies so very resentful about this film.
