I canât believe there arenât more people talking about this show?! What a beautiful and heartbreaking exploration of generational abuse, trauma, addiction, family, etc. Margaret Qualley is excellent as a strong single mother trying to navigate the cycle of abuse and our broken government systems as an impoverished person. Simultaneously felt like a comforting assurance that everything will be okay and a bleak reminder that this world is so fucked up. I want to watch it again but I think it made me too sad lol.

Midnight Mass 2021
This show was at its best when it was a small town character study and a metaphor for religious fanaticism/cultism, and at its worst when it was a blatant mouthpiece for Mike Flanaganâs thoughts that he didnât have the restraint to keep out of the script. Thoughts that, to me, often read as nothing more than tumblr-esque dialogue that rambled on so long that the meaning got lost. And I like a good monologue as much as the next guyâŚ

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV 2024
Highly recommend, as we grew up watching these shows from a distance itâs an important feeling of discomfort to know about the abusive behavior that went on behind the scenes, but also that it could have happened to any one of us. As we continue to see the curtain pulled back on systems of power in Hollywood, it will always be timely to talk about how often kids, the most powerless of us, are left unprotected. Really sad stuff.

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
Lily Gladstone gives one of the most important performances of the decade. Leonardo DiCaprio gets spanked. Thank you Martin Scorsese.Â

Animal 2023
I feel like I got punched in the face by Animal, a Scarface-style epic with comically outlandish twists and one absolutely batshit extended sequence in a hotel that made me think I was seeing things. Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna are both incredible in this explosively toxic relationship, each getting moments amid the melodrama to show some true grit in their performances. On the surface this is pretty much an odyssey of a rich nepo baby who only knows how to getâŚ

Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
Can confirm the story plays out better the second time. Itâs crazy how many small details you can fail to catch when there is This Much Movie. Every time Kiri does anything I want to cry

Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
itâs not often a movie will make me cry just by existing but seeing this in 3D after not having seen anything in 3D in a decade was pretty magical and overwhelming. Thereâs no debate about the quality of these effects anymore, theyâre so seamless you forget to even wonder if theyâre not. Cameron does go bigger and more complex, in a way that I think will benefit from a second viewing. Itâs not gonna win a screenplayâŚ
