seamouseJanuary 9, 2026The scene at the end of S5E7 where Will coming-out was so annoying; it made me think it was a plot by Vickner to make him a spy and buy time.

Lucas.January 8, 2026I loved the style and the story of this movie. It's pacing was really good too. Oscar Isaacs was amazing and it had cool commentary on our modern world while still being faithful to the source material. Liked this way more than I thought I would.

Lucas.January 8, 2026This is one of those old movies that suffers from poor audio-visual quality. However, if you are a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, then this movie is worth a watch (even if it's just on in the background... i did a puzzle while watching). It has some cool noir elements, even if they aren't entirely original.

Lucas.January 8, 2026Cool poster but pretty not-great movie. Luckily its super short, and there are a couple small parts that I liked. But yeah, just look at the poster and that's the best part of this movie.

Lucas.January 8, 2026Not steamy enough, too predictable, and all around difficult to watch.

Mr. Scorsese (2025)

Alex SoutheyJanuary 8, 2026I fucking adored this. It just should've been longer. Criminal that a film like Silence doesn't get more consideration. His other more recent films I get can't be focused on that much because they're so recent. But. Anyway. This will be getting a rewatch. In ways it reminded me -- coincidentally -- of Scorsese's own docuseries on George Harrison (which is also excellent).

Trap (2024)

Khen JuliaJanuary 7, 2026Trap is a wild, slightly "messy" ride that is saved by Hartnett’s charisma. It’s not The Sixth Sense, but it is much more entertaining than Old or The Happening. If you can turn off your "logic brain" and enjoy the absurdity, it’s a great evening watch.

Song Sung Blue (2025)

StevenCsMoviesJanuary 3, 2026Are you tired of musical biopics? Hey, me too, whatever you said. There’s a new one out there now called SONG SUNG BLUE, based on the 2008 documentary of the same name. It is based on a true love story between Milwaukee-based Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire (Kate Hudson), who join forces both romantically and professionally as the Neil Diamond impersonators- sorry, interpreters, “Lightning and Thunder”. All I can say is they definitely have their ups and downs as the movie progresses. It’s partly about going after your dream, and partly about how life could sometimes get in the way. This isn’t like other biopics. These are not super famous celebrities who are hard to relate to. This family feels refreshingly authentic, each of the actors enhancing it with their great performances. Hudson even snagged a Golden Globe nomination. I love how the audience is brought into the culture of impersonators. It’s like learning about a different world that’s always been there in your periphery. Yes, some moments are endearingly cheesy. Others are heartbreaking. They really pull on your emotional strings. I felt the love of Neil Diamond and his music emanating through every pore of this movie. Anybody can have an inspiring story. My one major flaw with this movie is the fact that the events that are depicted here actually span 17 years, I had to look it up. Watching this movie, I would’ve said 2 years. I’ve heard some controversy over Mike’s actual son being angry at the movie and its stars, calling them “monsters”. I never saw the documentary, but I do understand having to dramatize certain moments. A movie needs to be entertaining too. Overall, I don’t care what other people say, all I can count on is my own experience, and SONG SUNG BLUE is a great movie with great music. Yes, they do sing “Sweet Caroline” (Buh buh buh!). Oh and bring tissues.

One Battle After Another (2025)

Bhups23December 31, 2025One Battle After Another feels chaotic in a deliberate way. It’s messy, intense, sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating—but never boring. Leonardo DiCaprio carries the film with a strange, worn-out energy that fits a man dragged back into a fight he thought he was done with. Paul Thomas Anderson swings big here: politically charged, emotionally raw, and visually bold, even when the pacing stumbles. It doesn’t always hold itself together, but that’s kind of the point. This is a film about unfinished battles—external and internal—and it commits to that idea fully. Not for everyone, but if you like ambition over polish, it hits.
