Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, 2021 - ★★★★★

100% wonderful through and through. I loved everything about it.

The Phantom of the Open, 2021 - ★★★½

Sweet and charming and there's nothing wrong with sweet and charming.

Absolutely Anything, 2015 - ★½

I laughed zero times

Paterson, 2016 - ★★★★★

That was beautiful

Minions: The Rise of Gru, 2022 - ★★½

Too much Minions is too much.

Official Competition, 2021 - ★★★★½

The make out scene among the microphones.
The cherry screensaver behind her.
The closeups of Cruz.
Her dance in the bedroom

Dave Made a Maze, 2017 - ★★★★

Inventive and fun. Feel free to ignore the script.

Elvis, 2022 - ★★★

Everything Elvis All At Once

The Rescue, 2021 - ★★★★

I nearly drowned while sitting on the couch.

Prey, 2022 - ★★★½

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 - ★★★

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

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.
