  Boyhood 2014

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Aug 2022 2

  I was about thirteen when this film came out. My family and I were intrigued by the concept, which is probably the main selling point for this movie. I remember thinking it was okay, but being underwhelmed by the lack of big plot events. More specifically, I was underwhelmed by how everything seemed to lead to nothing. 

  I grew up in central Texas, with a single Mom and a sister. My Mom had me and my sister at a fairly…

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  This movie is full of circles. Circles everywhere. Most of them with holes in the center. Cookies, googly eyes, auditors circling receipts, washing machines, and of course, a giant bagel.

  The supporting characters are probably…

  Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 2023

  ★★ Watched 15 Feb 2023

  This film is so bizarre. Half of it feels like meandering, and the other half feels like setup for other projects. The small scale charm and intimacy of the first Ant-Man, and to an extent the second, is mostly absent. The movie is also pretty consistently bad looking. Bill Pope shot this film, but you can’t tell at all because there is such a lack of interesting compositions and real sets. All of the lighting is so obviously not being…
