Dune

2021

★★★★★ Rewatched

Masterpiece. What a fucking phenomenal idea it was to run this movie in IMAX again ahead of the sequels release.

Dune is a movie that should not exist. It's the grown up, mature, philosophical Star Wars that people have asked for. Science Fiction has been built on the back of the Dune novels for decades, and Denis Villeneuve was the one to honor it as such. He's fucking brilliant and his ability to translate an incredibly tough read into a…

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

2024

★★★★★ Liked Watched

From the second Furiosa is ripped from her Utopia and brought to the wasteland, her odyssey begins. Her heroes journey. This style of storytelling is so important to me that I have a concept of the heroes journey tattooed on my fucking arm. This is the pincacle of heroic coming of age stories.

This is the second best film of the year and firmly entrenched in my top 10 films of the decade. It’s one of the best prequels I’ve…

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

2002

★★★★★ Rewatched

Drags slightly more than the other two, but it's still basically perfect.

"The war for Middle-Earth is about to begin."

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

2001

Just an incredible piece of fiction.

Warfare

2025

★★★★½ Watched

"Look for the blood and the smoke...we're there."

I've never seen war. I've never been trained for battle. I've never even held a fucking gun....

...but Warefare made me feel like I have.

This film puts you directly in the center of one singular day of combat, and I swear I could smell the gunpowder walking out of that theater.

The most authentic, raw depiction of war I've ever witnessed. Sound design is the best I've ever heard for a…

Mickey 17

2025

★★★★ 2

One of my most anticipated movies in 2025....

I really rocked with the Mickey 17, I just wish i fell in love with it. It's a phenomenal sci-fi parody and commentary on our political and societal climate, but i never felt truly connected from start to finish.

The first two acts had me grinning and locked in, felt the constant propulsion, stoked for the finale, but the third act grinds to a halt for me. It picks up again and…
