I don't give a whit about the Predator universe, but I enjoyed this quite a lot.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, 2022 - ★★★★

What's wrong with watching a nice person get most of what they wish for? Nothing is wrong with it. In fact, it's delightful.
Lightyear, 2022 - ★★★

Turns out I didn't need this as much as I thought I did.
The Princess, 2022 - ★★½

Some fun choreography in what is otherwise mostly a video game.
Crimes of the Future, 2022 - ★★★
Thursday, June 23, 2022
I was riveted for a while, but then I wasn't.
Top Gun: Maverick, 2022 - ★★★★½

This is what a good time at The Movies means. It's great when a film delivers on its promise and is exactly what it should be.
Mad God, 2021 - ★★★★½
Monday, June 20, 2022
Vile, disgusting, incoherent, disturbing, and bleak. Also exhilarating and stunningly intricate and beautiful. There is nothing like stop motion and there is nothing like Mad God.
Hustle, 2022 - ★★★½

Adam Sandler is great when he does a "Good Movie" This was one of them. Too bad it was NBA fan fiction. I don't know basketball.
RRR, 2022 - ★★★★½

An absolute over-the-top blast, start to finish.
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, 2022 - ★★★★

How is it possible I had that much fun?
Metal Lords, 2022 - ★★★½

It pretty much is what it is, which is fine. Good to see some cameos from a few favorite bands, too.
The Lost City, 2022 - ★★★½

I smiled the entire time. What more can I ask for?
I get a kick out of Styx’s Wooden Nickel period. Some rough but fun rock and prog rock songs. #NowPlaying “Styx II”
The Photos widget might be the greatest thing on my iPhone. This morning, it surfaced this photo of me water skiing (1981, maybe). Kodachrome!
There’s a googly eye instead of the normal “Watched” icon! I never tire of googly eyes. Another reason to love Letterboxd. letterboxd.com (and that movie).
Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022 - ★★★★

Pretty great, but maybe there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
And then there’s this self-portrait in which I didn’t realize my head was in direct sunlight. None of this is the Linhof’s fault. I’m just still very clumsy with it.
I sometimes don’t know why I bother with large format photography.
Some days are more analog than others. Today is one of those days.
I recently returned to using an automatic mechanical watch. Mmmm, I love mechanical watches, but the convenience of an Apple Watch is hard to resist, so I gave my Apple Watch to my dad.
