Marcel the Shell with Shoes On 2021
“And I kept thinking if I was someone else, I’d really be enjoying this.”

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
Wish I lived in the Universe where Sam Raimi didn't squander his gifts on bloated, nonsensical, forgettable, unfunny bullshit like this. Kind of on the nose that Doctor Strange possesses his own corpse and that's where it gets a little more fun. Almost like Sam realizes his heart is dead and he is little more than a brand to be sold as a former mark of quality! Move over Tim Burton, there's a new kid in town at the Wasted Talent Retirement Home!

Spoiler: no we can't

Fast Times at Ridgemont High 1982
Caught a 35mm screening of this with Amy Heckerling Q&A. She mentioned that she wanted Highway to Hell to play while Judge Reinhold washes his car. Total game changer.
She's also my new favorite person.

The Batman 2022
In these trying times, I find a small consolation in the fact that I have slightly more Instagram followers than The Riddler.

X 2022
Genuinely refreshing to see a horror film made by someone who clearly loves the genre. Ti West's embrace of tried and true formula - not meta-goofing, heavy metaphors, or the slow burn that fizzles to a snooze - offers a goopy reminder of why sometimes simple recipes are the best. Knives, blood, rampant horniness, and sudden eyeball violence, just like grandma used to make.
And while X does ape heavily from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, the whole film pulls…
