  The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Nov 2023

  It cannot be overstated what a sublime pleasure it is to go see a polished cross-demo-appealing blockbuster with such inherent bleakness at its core.

  Heading into a theater to see this unlikely creation felt appropriately fitting following the Hunger renaissance of March 2023, one which I myself enthusiastically partcipated in. Unlike with the previous films, I went into this feature with no prior knowledge from its source material. That made for an exciting viewing experience with at least three genuine…

  Five Nights at Freddy's 2023

  ★★½ Watched 27 Oct 2023

  —🧩🗝 Spooky Season 2023 #60 🗝🧩—

  It's borderline impossible for me to not like the incredible work of the Jim Henson Company and the gigantic puppets they created for this film are easily THE reason to watch it. But as for the movie itself...Willy's Wonderland is a much funner and—I've never played the games this is based on so feel free to tell me I'm wrong—a possibly more faithful adaptation. I love Josh Hutcherson so I'm glad he stars in…

  Godzilla Minus One 2023

  Watched 03 Dec 2023

  This might possibly be the best Godzilla film ever made.

  I've been watching the giant lizard's stories since I was a baby and I've loved a fair share of them. In fact, every time one’s playing in theaters, you can count on my being there. So when I say that this one is really something special…trust that I mean it. 

  The emotional scale of this monumentally satisfying epic's humanity paired with the jaw-dropping, pulse-pounding awe of its singularly iconic kaiju…

  She's the Man 2006

  Rewatched 03 Dec 2023

  My friends and I saw this in theaters and then rewatched it again and again on DVD at each other's houses, relentlessly quoting Amanda Bynes's many iconic line deliveries at each other until we lost our minds. It was lovely to see queen Bynes and this peak 2000s jem again. I will never stop rooting for her and hope against hope that she'll be back on our screens someday.

  Vampires vs. the Bronx 2020

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Oct 2020 2

  Wholesome Latino and Black representation in a horror film. We love to see it!

  Vampires vs. the Bronx is much more than the latest Netflix flavor of the week. In it's modest way, this mainstream-friendly vamp-hunting jaunt is a big deal, not only because it is led by a trio of adorable kids who happen to be people of color, but because it also manages to imbue a dusty genre mainstay with a vitally urgent message that is very much…
