Good movie, but it kind of felt like I was a kid again, back at the School for Troubled Children as we called it, being yelled at yet again. Oftentimes movies like this feel cathartic, but somehow this one doesn't. It feels like almost all the runtime is just spent watching teens have to deal with asshole adults who abuse their power. I've dealt with enough of that. And the movie ends too early. They talk during the movie about how are they going to survive once they get out given that one doesn't know how to read, and none have anyone to help them get started. But it's supposed to be a happy ending that they got free? Free to be homeless and get arrested again I suppose. But hey, it should be good misery porn for people who had better childhoods than me, I'm just too close to the subject matter.

That scene when the three girls are laying on a blanket on the floor with one laying on top of the other two perpendicular to them though

It's good, but it's so hard to watch. I just wanna bash this dude on the head like urghhh! But I can't deny the quality and how compelling it is.

I really liked the part where a bunch of people were giving their opinions about the artifacts being returned and what meaning that does or doesn't have. I found it the format as a whole of the documentary to be interesting, but boring nonetheless. If it was just the interesting part, I'd like it a lot, but ah well

There's some merit here and definitely some good moments, but I couldn't get through it without playing a mobile game at the same time. Very straightforward movie that doesn't seem to have all that much unique to offer. I really did not enjoy it and cannot recommend.

Most straightforward Lynch movie I've seen. Mid

What a frustrating movie. Very well-made and asks more questions than answers. I want the answers! I'm so confused lol someone pls make Armand explained video ty

Absolute 10/10 movie, almost gave it a 9/10 solely based on the slightly lesser extent to which this movie speaks to me, but it is a fantastic movie. The extent to which this is a girls movie really highlights to me the extent to which the vast majority of movies are not, even many ostensibly girl-centric movies; it seems to me to completely lack male gaze. It's so well-made, the framing is maybe the best I've ever seen as someone who doesn't tend to appreciate that sort of thing. The script is fantastic: what is said, how it's said, what is shown but deliberately not said. The movie trusts its actors to act and act they do, with the main trio of Mira, Sri, and Anila absolutely carrying the movie with their facial expressions and line delivery. What a great fucking movie. Shame on Amazon not releasing this in theaters, fuck Amazon. If this movie is as good as it feels like it is to me as someone not in the target audience, then every girl from a repressive background should watch it (catholic school I think, muslim, mormon, etc). Having gone to a religious boys high school, I can totally see someone I knew being Sri in this movie, and I can totally see one of my sisters being Mira

In the first one they were friends, but now they're together! I did not enjoy this one as much as the first one though, it's not as charming for me

Iconic couple

There's no narrative or throughline or anything, it's just a bunch of footage! Much of the footage was interesting, but watching this in one sitting was kind of exhausting

Like most war movies, Porcelain War is boring af. The only interesting bits were the parts with the daughters. That part was sweet. Would be cool if war stopped being a thing even if only just so we could stop getting these boring drab war movies

This rewatch, I watched it along with listening to the audiobook version of Begin Transmission: The trans allegories of The Matrix as almost a commentary track, though it required some pausing of one or the other at times. Don't love the book, it feels like it's reaching at times, using words of the movie to say something that the movie isn't saying, and I don't like how much it's preaching to cis people and bringing up the author's personal experiences rather than solely explaining the trans allegories of The Matrix, but god damn do I love The Matrix. Such an awesome movie, fuckin iconic, and such fantastic fashion. Chef's kiss all around even if I would absolutely take the blue pill in the surface level of the movie

Peaceful Warrior thinks it's so profound, but it's just delightfully silly. Old man says trite platitudes that inspire young man. Let go of everything, be vulnerable, says the old man who never even says his name. It really does sound like it's coming from the subconscious of a 20yo mildly nerdy gym bro. Which works! It's so silly. I love how sincere it is. Though I do wish the movie treated women better and was less patriarchal and whatnot

Is it normal for a family to have the daughter call the father daddy and the son call him dad? I did not grow up in a dad or daddy household

My family doesn't think of these people as people :|

Fantastic portrayal of negative self talk and trying to keep it together while not feeling it, but music biopics don't really work when you don't like the music lol

Can confirm, this is what it feels like growing up with religious parents

Often funny, but also kinda misogynist, racist, anti-semitic, and drops an f slur towards the end

Watched on Sunday February 23, 2025.

Sharp Objects vibes. Low-key creepier than a lot of horror movies despite being a drama

For those wondering, yes you should watch The Wrong Tros before this one

The cinematography is fantastic, I love Wilhelm Dafoe, and ngl I was fully engaged by the end of the movie, but the fact is that for most of the runtime I was kinda bored. Not a big fan of this kind of fantasy, though it is cool to see a fantasy movie be big like this

I watched like ten seconds of the trailer and knew I had to see the movie. And it delivered! Those ten seconds were within the first couple minutes of the movie, so zero spoilers, and it's a great ride

Before I met other queer people irl who are out, movies like this made me think people who look like Molly are not usually queer. Great movie though, love the premise of a ghost protagonist and the drama and silliness that ensues

Edit: People are saying that the pottery scene is known to be a sexy scene? I found that scene infuriating! Why are you fucking up her pottery? I was low-key waiting for her to break up with him bc he's a shitty person

I love this kind of movie that takes a great musician and plays a bunch of their greatest hits while crafting some narrative. I think this works better than many such biopic at crafting a character study, in that way it's better as an actual movie. It does have a little high of a ratio of music to movie for a movie, but Bob Dylan is fucking great, so I live hearing his music in the movie

I was at a party once and they were playing Wallace & Gromit on the TV and I mentioned to the person I was having a conversation with that I had never watched Wallace & Gromit before, and she was very disappointed in me and insisted that I concentrate on the TV and ingest this classic. I was not sober enough then to do that, but I can see now why she held it in such high regard

I just don't really care about this person who can a afford full-time live-in butler and housekeeper without herself working at all

It's rare that a movie is too corny for me, usually it's the opposite problem and they don't take themselves seriously enough. The Six Triple Eight is the exception. Way too corny, I just can't take it

One of the reasons I didn't watch this when it came out is that I was scared it'd be a good movie. And it is. You follow a likeable and relatable version of Trump who has a voice that's charming instead of annoying, and he interacts a lot with Roy Cohn, who has a delicious New York City accent, and it just feels like a mob movie, where objectively the people are awful, but you're rooting for them anyway, because the movie makes them look and sound cool. Why would you make this movie in 2024?

Side note, I like how I knew beforehand that Roy Cohn was gay and died of aids because I'd seen Angels in America. When Roy Cohn is lying sick in bed in this movie, my brain was being like oh yeah right and then the ghost comes...

How do you make a movie in 2024 about a trans person who transitions in part during the movie and so not get the process. This is not the 2000s, it's the 2020s. Like why would you choose to make this movie and not educate yourself first, what in the actual fuck. Also the movie is bad in general with stakes not properly set up and it's boring and nonsensical and not in a fun way most of the time.

Collection of video game cutscenes calling itself a movie. I liked the starting with the interpersonal drama stuff, but then it just turns into a lame adventure movie. Doesn't even have any good horror, though I'll it that it does have good special effects. And good dad jokes

Best action movie I've seen in a while. One of those high octane ridiculous movies that keep sincerity and a straight face throughout while simultaneously never taking things too seriously. The theater was laughing its ass off and I swear that action was so fucking good. Tempted to give a 0/10 for not playing the song Love Hurts, but it's just too fucking good lol one for the ages

The soundtrack is appropriately fantastic, but either I'm not smart enough, I'm not knowledgeable enough, or the movie isn't good enough for me to be able to follow what's happening for most of the runtime. My suspicion is that it's incoming knowledge. I imagine I'd appreciate the movie more if I'd already heard of these people. It's very fragmented though and I do not like that

As a broke unemployed person worried about running out of money before I can get a job to pay the bills who at my last job kept bringing up how the databases had data stored incorrectly, Problemista hits very close to home lol. Occasionally maybe even too close where I'm like this is just life, but the movie is so goddamn funny. Incredibly well made with very creative sequences, great characters, relatable story, really fun, funny, and over the top

Finished! That was fun. Be sure to click notes to see tiers. If you haven't seen either of the movies in tier 1, DO IT. Anything in tiers 1-3 are highly recommended, tier 4 is recommended with some reservations, tiers 5-6 are worth watching for animation and entertainment respectively but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them, and tier 7-8 are either bad movies or movies that didn't appeal to me at all.

Some notes:

I have to rewatch Spider-Verse and Mirai to make a final decision on which is higher. Same goes for Incredibles 2, Isle of Dogs, and Teen Titans GO! to the Movies to be sure of my tier 3 rankings. Other than that these are my final rankings. Tier 7 and 8 is a bit arbitrary because it's hard to rank movies I don't like.

Once I finish rewatching everything I want to rewatch, I'll probably put some notes in the comments, maybe even make a video or blogpost or something, but that's going to take a while before that happens if it ever does so for now, enjoy this list and watch some movies!

Update: Rewatched Spider-Verse and Mirai. Spider-Verse is the better movie. Still have to rewatch the tier 3 movies to decide on their precise rankings.

List of 2017 movies I've seen sorted by release date. Half star movies means I didn't finish the movie. With the exception of 47 Meters Down, there's a possibility that they're actually good, 47 Meters Down is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm making this list because I use the us date, but letterboxd uses the initial release date.

2. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

I first want to finish my 2017 and 2018 watchlists, but I think I want to see these before my regular watchlist so I can rank them all.

• The Boss Baby
• Coco
• Ethel & Ernest
• Mary and The Witch's Flower
• A Silent Voice: The Movie
• Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
• The Lego Batman Movie

Some movies I didn't have anything controversial and I haven't seen a single movie that starts with an X, but in general these are movies that I like that others don't.

• Alice Through the Looking Glass

  It's funny ok? Don't watch this if you don't like puns.

• The Boss Baby

  So imaginative, so funny, such a crazy concept, I love it

• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

  I get the impression that the only reason people don't like this is because Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is better. I haven't seen that one.

• Despicable Me

  It's the sequels that are bad, not the original. It's so sweet!

• Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

  A cheesy good time

• Fight Club

  No subjective movies to put here :/

• Austin Powers in Goldmember

  Never saw the first two. My impression is that people found this to be redundant.

• Happy Death Day

  Fun mystery comedy-horror. The ultimate popcorn flick.

• I, Tonya

  No subjective movies for I either :/

• Jack Frost

  not bad

• Road to Perdition

  This was my first R rated movie and I really liked it at the time. I think I've rewatched it since, but I haven't seen it in at least a couple years and I need to see how much I still like it.

• Kung Fu Panda

  I watched this a while ago, do I still think it deserves 5 stars?

• The Incredibles

  I watched this a while ago, do I still think it deserves 5 stars? Also, I don't too much of it and Incredibles 2 is coming.

• Guardians of the Galaxy

  I watched this before ing Letterboxd and it was my first Marvel movie, do I still think it deserves 5 stars?

• Alice Through the Looking Glass

  I watched this a while ago, do I still think it deserves 5 stars? I have a feeling I won't, but I this being one of the funniest movies I'd watched at the time, so it should be good fun.

• Michael Collins

  I don't much of anything about this movie. Did I even like it?

• Edge of Tomorrow

  I watched this a while ago, do I still think it deserves 5 stars?

• From Dusk Till Dawn

  Was a bit distracted when I first saw it and I don't think it's the movie's fault. A rewatch is in order.

• The Lobster

  I didn't pay as much attention as I'd like to. Must rewatch with lots of popcorn or something to keep my attention on the movie.

• Fargo

  It didn't grip me, but maybe if I give it another try...

With Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s big friend George about to Rampage his way across screens, this week we’re seeking your top 10 films in which scientists, baddies, government agents or anyone with the code to the lab gets to meddle with genetics or medicine, with unexpected consequences. This is more than “let’s bring back dinosaurs!”—we want you to rank your favorite spliced, spiked, shrunk or supersized mutation. Human or beast, or both, let’s see the weird and wonderful results. Rule: a human had to do it; no accidental spider-bites.

• Okja
• The Boss Baby
• Spider-Man

  The antagonist mutates himself, still counts

• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
• Deadpool

Ladies and tramps, this week we travel to the Isle of Dogs to seek out the greatest canines ever to scamper on screen. And we aren’t talking about incidental pooches trotting along in the background like some sort of four-legged extra. These hounds must be central characters, or otherwise pivotal to the plot. Whether it’s a cop-dog or a sled-dog or a show-dog, bring them to heel in your top 10 list of movie mutts.

For reference, I hate dogs and am only making this list so that I can include Boss Baby. We all know that Coco is going to end up in the consensus, but I call that movie Fuck Dante because that dog is really fucking annoying.

Sharpen your nail files, distract the guards, dig a tunnel out: this week’s Showdown celebrates the best prison breaks in movie history. Whether innocent or guilty, incarcerated in a POW camp, Alcatraz, a prison colony in outer-space, or a chicken farm, we want your ten best jailbreaks on film. Collect some sheets for your makeshift hot-air balloon and we’ll see you at the border.

I've been a bit loose with the rules on this one, but depending on how literally you take the word jail, I'd count all of these. Only the first two are literally a jail though.

Movies that I rated at least 4 stars that the Letterboxd average rating is less than 3.5 stars. Read the notes. I didn't include every movie, I had to have watched it recently enough and/or have strong enough feelings about it to put it on this list. There are a couple that I watched before starting Letterboxd so they don't have a rating, but the question is 4, 4.5, or 5, so they still get a spot.

Inspired by letterboxd.sitesdebloques.org/mjbreuer/list/against-the-grain-lowest-rated-films-ive/ and letterboxd.sitesdebloques.org/stormofcuteness/list/letterboxd-done-it-wrong/

1. Pay It Forward

   People seem to find it sickeningly sweet, but I just found it sweet. This video may be relevant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-QhdzQo66o

2. Annabelle: Creation

   I thought everyone liked this. Solid creepy horror film.

3. The Runaways

   What's there not to like? There's great music, characters, story, it's a great movie!

4. Panic Room

   I think y'all rated this low just because it's David Fincher and it's not his usual movie, but as a movie on its own merits, it's a solid thriller.

5. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

   Yup. I liked the prequels. My introduction to Star Wars was playing Star Wars Episode 1: Racer (fantastic game, play it on a dreamcast emulator) and seeing the game brought to life with podracracing in episode 1 was amazing...

6. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones

   ...And I started watching the movies with a fan cut of the prequels. I was an idiot and didn't listen to my friends who told me to start with episode 4. I didn't have a way to watch movies normally at the time and I came across a link to fan supercut of episodes 1-3 so I originally watched it that way. The cut removed most Jar Jar scenes so I didn't really know who the character was or why he was hanging out with them; I thought he was probably their slave...

7. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

   ...I later watched the actual movies and they weren't good to say the least, but they will always have a special place in my heart and I know that there is good there, it just needs a good cut (the one I watched was taken down from youtube and I don't know anything about it)

8. Alice Through the Looking Glass

   This movie is actually hilarious. I did not like Alice in Wonderland (2010), but Through the Looking Glass is so delightfully corny! Most people probably hate that humor, but for me this is godsend.

9. The Little Hours

   I think I can understand this one because I'm not sure that it's a good movie, but I very much enjoyed its crazy humor

10. Mom and Dad

    Apparently this has a mere 3.0 average rating? Scandalous! Bonkers crazy, off the wall, shit, I don't know what to say without spoiling the experience. If you like weird shit, watch this movie!
