I wish all my teams made me celebrate failure the way the NY Jets do.
OK, maybe not.

This doc reminds me why I miss Attack of the Show!, a much-watch back in its day. But it also had a very specific point of view, which did not feel great to experience. As a result, it’s not surprising that most of the stars of the show, including the two biggest, didn’t participate in this film.

Well that was something. The ending got away from me, but during most of the movie I laughed more than I have in recent memory. Fantastic cast and some great songs (though I felt like the more sincere songs dragged a bit.) definitely not for everyone.

A remarkable film adaptation of an astounding book, filled with moments that are genuinely moving and disturbing, not the least of which is the climactic riot, which is one of the most striking moments in cinema history.

Will watch anything with Sam Rockwell. Howard is a treat and the cast is pretty solid, but the whole doesn’t live up to the ridiculous final 30 minutes, which is the energy I wanted for the rest of an overlong movie.
Was that really much of a twist?

I don’t got a lot of dad stereotypes (hate golf, don’t enjoy grilling, can’t watch war movies) but I don’t miss the chance to shut off a light.

Poor Things is a fascinating (if a touch bloated) piece of art. Never boring, and always visually intriguing, with great performances across the board.

The Iron Claw is a well-made drama, but I don’t know that it stuck the ending. I wonder if having grown up watching the Von Erichs and knowing their story affected how the movie played with me.

Beautiful movie full of pale people. Wish it meant more to me, but it all feels so obvious, and the ending left me unsatisfied.
