In concert and would like to mention some highlights

- Full applause after the beacons being lit
- The crowd yelling death during Theoden’s speech
- Hearing For Frodo live
And my favorite
- The temperature warning on the projector coming on during Denethor’s self immolation

Mission 71384a Impossible – The Final Reckoning, 2025 - ★★★½

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:08:40 +1200

Feeling very mixed so some quick bullet point thoughts
- The first hour of this movie was so fast paced I was getting TROS flashbacks
- After that hour it starts to click with the submarine and plane sequences leaving me breathless at times
- Theres a huge Ilsa Faust size hole in this (and by extension I think the team is pretty weak compared to others
- Seeing in a full size IMAX was worth the ission and has me hesitant how the rewatch will feel either at home or a regular theater

Introducing Alec Baldwin and Rebecca Ferguson to the cast I think are the secret sauce to why this and Fallout are both so great. Wish Renner got to come back for some more M:I after this as well.

Accidental Keira Knightley double feature?

I get that it’s basically the one that started the slow burn romance but classics do exist for a reason.

Also a real murderers row of ing cast that show up in other things I love

Thu, 22 May 2025 14:27:23 +1200

It's not the best in the series but it's my favorite because of 3 things

1. How much of a 60s spy movie it felt with all the gadgets and tech

2. The only stunt in the series that stresses me out so much I hold my breath

3. The opening credits

Blue Velvet 56b1l 1986 - ★★★★★

Fri, 16 May 2025 15:14:59 +1200

Seeing this in my hometown theater, a place that never feels like it changes much around there, added a whole different level of depth.

Also just want to highlight my favorite Siskel and Ebert exchange with their review for this movie:

Gene Siskel: “He wants to set you up, he's a director, and he wants to play you like all the directors, the great directors want to do, he wants to play you like a piano. Which is, have you smile, and then swing you right into some depression.”

Roger Ebert: “Yeah, well, if someone wants to play ME like a piano, he better get some music that's worth listening to.”

Absolutely captivating drama and one of Ford's best (acting and looks) performances. Didn't expect the score for something like this to be as full of synth as it was but I loved it.

Spent a lot of the movie thinking that maybe it’s not as strong as I think then Vader getting unmasked got me emotional for the first time in my life so I think this movie still has the juice

While it might not be as raw as The Beginning or as in depth on Light and Magic this still is the best Star Wars making of doc for the original trilogy. Also is a great background documentary for Celebration button making

Double Indemnity 1gz6g 1944 - ★★★★½

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:04:13 +1300

Gripping and engaging and tense all the way though. Love TCM having a Stanwyck feature this month as her work, and noir is a genre, is a weak spot for me. It also feels extra special having a direct time to tune in for and get the complete experience for such an important and monumental film.

Sun, 2 Mar 2025 12:00:59 +1300

Not sure if there was something I was missing but I found I wasn’t as blown away on this as some people have been. Felicity Jones though gives the best performance in the film and deserves the ing actress Oscar.

]]>

Nickel Boys 314f4e 2024 - ★★★★½

Sun, 2 Mar 2025 04:26:01 +1300

Growing up in what at times becomes a more rural Florida where time has never seemed to , Nickel Boys has an eerie sense of ghosts come to life. Jim Crow/Civil Rights era Florida was never taught much in school but the effects are still felt and noticed if you look deep enough. Nickel Boys helps bring to life some of those overlooked and brushed aside moments in history while telling a wonderful story about finding hope in despair. Every shot is impactful and every performance powerful. In a perfect world this would be the best picture front runner.

I guess I'm just spending my free time rewatching Pixar movies.

Wasn't a huge one in rotation when I was a kid and still for me doesn't hit like the rest of the catalogue. Still enjoyable and technically impressive but sandwhiched between 2 of the GOATs

If one thing didn’t work in this the whole thing movie would fall apart but it pulls off the miracle and everything is perfect. All that perfection then culminates in the Buzz and Woody flying scene which is one of the most important scenes in film history.

Star Trek II 5o6c4j The Wrath of Khan, 1982 - ★★★★★

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 18:06:21 +1300

The kind of movie I knew a large portion of through cultural osmosis (the yell, Kobayashi Maru, the ending scene) and it still managed to give me a sense of wonder and awe that only Trek can provide. Mind boggling effects (in a year that’s probably one of the best all time for science fiction) that still hold up while also delivering such a good story and return of the Enterprise crew.

One of those “I need to see in a theater” movies
