Caveat - I'm seeing this tomorrow night. No spoilers please, my LB peeps.

But I have some personal thoughts about the franchise I'd like to share.

It’s the night before Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two (aka The Final Reckoning) and I’m feeling all kinds of sentimentality and nostalgia. Can you believe this franchise has been in my life for 25 years? I saw the original in theaters back in ’96—yeah, I’m old as fuck—and I still that iconic gum-in-the-fishtank moment like it was yesterday.

I didn’t know then that we were witnessing the start of something legendary, but when Ethan Hunt made that tank explode, I was basically Morty: “You son of a bitch, I’m in.” I've rewatched the series more times than I can count and had a blast every single time.

No spoilers yet—just appreciation for a franchise that’s still running (and sprinting) strong. Let’s do this, Ethan.

I will update with my review and rating soon.

Companion is just a blast—plain and simple. I had an awesome time with this one. Sophie Thatcher keeps proving she’s the real deal, and Jack Quaid is finally carving out his own lane. Sure, the whole “nepo baby” wave in Hollywood is a thing (a rant for another day), but both leads absolutely earn their screen time here.

As for going in spoiler-free? I knew the twist going in and still had a great time catching all the little hints, but I totally get the appeal of diving in blind. Either way, it's a ride worth taking.

My fourth foray into the Bergman oeuvre and Cries and Whispers might be the most visually striking yet. The deep reds 🔴🔴 practically bleed off the screen, and every frame 🖼 is composed with such deliberate care. The script is haunting in that classic Bergman way—emotional wounds laid bare in a house full of silence and suppressed screams. The ending felt a little rushed, but the overall impact will be something I'm feeling for a long time. Another powerful, unsettling gem from the master.

Bergman Ranked
1. Persona
2. Scenes From A Marriage
3. Cries and Whispers
4. The Seventh Seal

Heretic starts with a compelling premise but ultimately sacrifices its intrigue for a third act that feels like it was written during a fever dream. It’s kind of dumb, but at least it’s entertainingly dumb. Hugh Grant gets points for stepping way outside his comfort zone, even if the script leaves him stranded. Meanwhile, Sophie Thatcher proves again she’s one of the most electric young talents in the game (Hollywood? Atlanta? Vancouver? Who even knows anymore). Bonus trivia: both Thatcher and Chloe East were raised Mormon—maybe that’s what helped them play this so straight until the chaos kicked in.

2024 Releases, ranked by me

It’s a decent courtroom thriller with Nicholas Hoult proving he’s got real leading man chops. The film clearly wants to channel 12 Angry Men, but trades subtle tension for a handful of contrivances that border on the ridiculous. The script is middling, with plot turns that feel more convenient than convincing, but it’s still an enjoyable watch overall. Could’ve shaved 15 minutes and tightened things up, but it mostly holds your attention—even if your eyebrows get a workout from all the disbelief suspension

This marks my third exploration of Ingmar Bergman’s oeuvre.

I watched The Seventh Seal, aka “that black-and-white movie where a knight plays chess with Death.” It’s one of those films you feel like you should watch once in your life, like reading Moby-Dick or assembling IKEA furniture without crying.

Let’s start with the positives: Ingmar Bergman sure knows how to frame an existential crisis. The film is visually stunning, the kind of bleak beauty that makes you want to stare at the sea and ponder mortality (but, like, in a cool artsy way). Max von Sydow is stoic and soulful, Death is oddly charismatic for a skeleton-faced board game enthusiast, and the plague has never looked so poetic.

But here’s the thing—I kept hearing The Seventh Seal had “dark humor.” And I don’t know if it’s the translation, the Swedish stoicism, or my own Neanderthal-level art appreciation, but a lot of the humor felt like it ed me by on a horse-drawn cart.

That said, I liked the movie. I didn’t love it. It’s like having a deep conversation with someone much smarter than you—profound, impressive, but also kind of exhausting. I appreciate what Bergman’s saying about life and death.

Final verdict: It’s not a popcorn movie, but it’s the kind of film that lingers in your brain like a dream you didn’t understand but felt important. And that final dance of death? I found it haunting and weirdly beautiful.

Bergman Ranked
1. Persona
2. Scenes From A Marriage
3. The Seventh Seal

The music choices were interesting and unusually but I was definitely going with them for most of the film.

I didn't know what was going on for the first 30 min but it didn't really matter. This film is fucking tight and Dunst is underrated.

I know this is common knowledge now and kind of a joke, but until I turned on the subtitles, if you asked me what Ali Larter's characters name was, I would have bet $1,000,000 it was Claire.

"When you fuck with death, things get messy."

Mostly a blast with some great memorable deaths. About 15 minutes too long.

RIP Tony Todd

I'm finally caught up - just logged like 20 films! phew...

Bob: "You were Captain America?"
John Walker: "Yeah, why?"
Bob: "You're an asshole."

Florence Pugh is awesome.

Despite the fact that a lot of the humor wasn't hitting for me, I was enjoying the first two acts. But the 3rd act went into overdrive for me. I loved-loved the 3rd act. It felt like something non-Marvel and fresh.

2025 MCU Rewatch, New Ranking

2025 Releases, Ranked

I've never seen this but wanted to check it out in theaters for the 40th anniversary. I as a kid being scared as hell of that poster, lol.

Re-Animator was pretty much what I expected and wanted, a gory 80s B-Movie with pseudo zombies, ridiculous plotlines, a serum colored like radioactive slime, and some LOL moments. And a character throwing a psycho zombie cat against a wall.

The performances are really solid and the script is tight. I thought Colman Domingo was fantastic in the new Netflix series, The Four Seasons. I wanted to check out more of his work and he did not disappoint. Clarence Maclin, also credited as a screenwriter, really gave a good performance as well. Loved that they used some of the real actors from the original prison productions.

Decided to re-watch this in conjunction with the fantastic new Netflix series which was created by Tina Fey and based on this film, which was written and directed by Alan Alda.

Definitely enjoyable and, despite having four distinct chapters, doesn't overstay it's welcome and moves along with a tight 1hr 47min runtime. I almost never say this, but I could have used a bit more.

I still find the posters for this unintentionally hilarious.

A lot of death, fraud, and lying going on in this one. Certainly not a great film, but there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes. Free on Tubi.

Ugh, one of the most boring films I've ever seen.

I can sum up this film in 2 scenes. There's about a minute long close-up scene of Chloe Sevigny cutting up a pineapple. And I get it, they wanted to show she is straight-laced, which is in contrast to the daughter, whom wants to rebel. But a minute long!

The second scene is another close-up hands scene of the protagonist unwrapping corded iPhone earbuds that lasts about 45 seconds. First of all, why do super rich people still use wired earbuds? Second, why is 45 seconds! UGH!

The most frustrating thing about the movie is that it's filmed really well, framed well, I loved the lighting and the filters used by the director. And the acting is great, too, but the script is just abysmal.

2025 Releases, Ranked

Definitely one of the creepiest and scariest movies I've seen in the past 10 years.

I have a bunch of notes, but I think it's way better to go into this complete spoiler-free. I will add this movie is creepy asf with great filming locations and does an incredible job of towing the line between whether there are supernatural elements of the film or not.

2024 Releases, Ranked

After watching the 2003 version, I decided to check out the original 1976 film with Jodie Foster. She has the same charm 50 years later as she did in 1976.

The movie is ok, a notch below the 2003 version for me. They do get right to the body swap, vs. the 2003 version takes time for some character development prior to the swap.

Freakier Friday release date August 8, 2025.

Body Swap Films, Ranked By Me

As ridiculous as they are, I always enjoy these body swap movies. This one is so 90s with a terrible Britney Spears cover that the characters seem to love, classic 90s grunge music, a terrible haircut for Jaime Lee Curtis, among many others.

Imagine if you saw some creepy kid in your neighborhood screaming a Britney Spears song at the top of his lungs? Instant police call.

Freakier Friday release date - August 8, 2025. Let's go!

Body Swap Films, Ranked By Me

Man, I haven't seen this in years and that opening Russian scene is jarring. Between this and You've Got Mail., Hanks was really into pro-capitalist propaganda.

The movie starts getting great around the 20 minute mark, with just Hanks and Hunt, then Hanks, then Hanks and Hunt again.

A sweet and charming film about an aging group of fisherwomen in Korea who free dive to catch scallops and sea urchins, among other seafood. The film does touch on some important climate and environmental issues in the 2nd act, but it's mostly about the women's lives.

2024 Releases, Ranked

I've never watched 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later, but I thought it would be a good year to get into them with the new film coming out in August.

I found the beginning of the film a bit slow but slowly leads up a great 3rd act. I'm really looking forward to watching the next 2 installments.

I love this movie more and more every time I watch it. I decided to bump up on my favorite films list from #10 to #3.

My Favorite Films List

I can't believe I haven't watched this until now, but the runtime seemed a little daunting.

I'm not a shill for Peacock, but it was kinda cool that they front-loaded the ads and then showed the entire film ad-free, even with the cheapest subscription package.

Ervivo and Grande are both absolutely superb, with great direction from Chu. Obviously a banging score and soundtrack, with great choreography. Only drawback for me was at times it did feel like the movie was shooting on a set.

I do suggest going into this film blind, but there's nothing else I can say that this sentence from the Google description says better:

Whisnant found the leg in a barbecue grill he bought at an auction and believes it's his property.

Watched on Friday April 11, 2025.

I wish this was Rated R and they just went for the violence, but what do I know? There were a lot of dumb contrivances to move the plot along (coffee shop photo), but I had fun with this, particularly the prison scene.

Oh boy, just realized I'm about 20 movies behind on ratings and reviews!

I never played the games and I thought this was alright. Decent runtime for an innocuous sci-fi action film. If you like other Anderson/Jovovich ts, you'll probably enjoy this one. It's some nice filler time for a movie that you'll forget about in a few weeks.

For the first 45 minutes or so, I was really going with this movie, but alas, it did not last. The film fell into the same tired, terrible, and clichéd tropes that every musical biopic falls into. Unearned motivations. Useless and contrived women plotlines. And the worst of all: moving away from the music in favor of terrible dramatic plotlines. Ugh, by the end I was actively hating this movie and by the time Edward Norton was giving that seesaw monologue, I was completely checked out (sorry Edward, but that was awful). I'm not surprised this lost all of the 8 nominations, but also, how TF was this nominated for 8 Oscars?

2024 Releases, ranked by me

On my 4th watch, I'm finally bumping up to 4.5🌟. Just a fantastic film with great world-building, unreal effects, and one of the greatest scores of all-time by Zimmer. For a 2hr 45min+ film, I was not bored for 1 second.

Watched on Sunday April 6, 2025.

Aldomovar sets a great mood and atmosphere. For a large portion of the film I was half-expecting a genre turn or even see some supernatural elements. I give Aldomovar, Moore, and Swinton a lot of credit for that.

4/26 Update -- For all my fellow box office nerds out there, Sinners looks like it's killing it 2nd weekend. Like record breaking box office stuff. There's a shot it might make more in the 2nd weekend, which has NEVER. HAPPENED. BEFORE. Regardless of the finally result, it's a great result for the box office, movies, and theaters. #LFG

An absolute fucking banger! Coogler gives a master class in building tension with a tremendous edge-of-your-seat 3rd act.

The way Coogler constructs the world-building and character development while simultaneously creating this sense of oncoming dread is outstanding.

This movie is so fucking awesome.

Who else is excited for Sinners next week!?

I guess Eckhart is deeply entrenched in the Liam Neeson/Nic Cage/Bruce Willis before he retired business of doing these cheap, poorly made action films. In the last few years he has done films called Wander, Ambush, Muzzle, Rumble Through the Dark, The Bricklayer, Chief of Station (which I did see and is equally as bad, and now, Classified.

Ah well, I guess it beats the hell out of getting a real job.

I'm sorry-not sorry, but any movie that has Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller killing tree zombies with guns, kicks, and samurai swords while being winched up the side of a cliff in a WWII jeep is fucking awesome.

#6 on my Favorite Films List

Pretty much the same feelings as The Evil Dead. These films just don't do much for me for whatever reason. With a budget roughly 10 times The Evil Dead, Raimi does ramp up the gore and action, but to me it just felt like more of the same.

"Go ahead and get some sleep." - ... in this room by yourself while a demon tries to escape from the basement. LOL, no way is anyone sleeping that night.

In my last review from 2020, HERE, I mentioned I wasn't a fan of gore. I guess my tastes have changed as it doesn't bother me much and I actually enjoyed a lot of it in The Substance.

But I've tried to give these Evil Dead films a chance, and I think they're not for me.

No surprise this is the worst of the trilogy. I found most of this unimaginative as a lot of the plot is rehashed from the first two. The runtime (1hr 45min) is definitely a plus, but the action is just as weak as the first two.

2025 MCU Rewatch, New Ranking

I enjoyed this during this rewatch that I have on any previous other. I think even moreso than when I original saw in theaters back in 2013. I'm not really sure why, but I had a lot of fun on this watch. I do wish they pursued the PTSD factor a bit more, I've always thought that was an interesting aspect you don't see much in superhero films.

2025 MCU Rewatch, New Ranking

I found Yours, Mine, & Ours a very enjoyable and charming film. A few of the plot points were rushed at times, which is understandable given the size of the cast. Imagine if a widow with 8 kids and a widower with 10 kids met and were wed! The crazy thing is this based on a true story!

Story: HERE

According to the article, the couple had TWO MORE kids together, bringing the total to 20! WILD!

I loved the musical portions of this, but a lot of the conversations with the actors/directors/producers were unnecessary. I learned almost nothing from them outside of a few interesting anecdotes from Christopher Nolan.

The music and musicians were a joy to watch and the crowd seemed really into it. Filmed in Dubai, there was a woman in the front row wearing a hijab pumping her fist to the music. ✊️✊️✊️

Continuing on with some Hackman after the news of the past few weeks. This movie is so much fun and an absolutely blast.

The two "college students" who, according to the script, were 18 and 20 years old, were played by Flockhart and Futterman, who were 31 and 29 in real life, respectively 🤣🤣.

I can't believe they got Hackman in drag!

New Life is a slow burn virus film following the protagonist and the hunter trying to bring her in. The minimal action was shot amateurish, probably due to budgetary issues. The ending was unexpected, which for me is always a good thing.

Entertaining Korean thriller that just didn't stick the landing for me. Some interesting commentary on the meaning of religion and how it affects the lives of the people who believe.

I think at this point in his career Shyamalan isn't interested in doing serious and/or quality work. I didn't see Knock At The Cabin, but Trap constantly reminded me of Old in that it's total camp and really, really dumb. But, despite my constant eye-rolling, and like Old, I was never bored.

Hayley Mills, star of the original The Parent Trap, also has a minor role here, which also could have been called The Parent Trap.

I almost never talk about TV on LB (streaming shows included). But i have to mention Adolescence.

It's one of the greatest pop culture creations I've ever seen.

Even if you want to push aside the incredible INCREDIBLE acting/script/performances, the fact that they shot each episode in one take blew my fucking mind. I constantly caught myself looking for ways they cheated in the 1 take concept, but I found nothing. Bravo.

This is a fucking masterpiece.

I liked this so much after my viewing on Saturday I wanted to show it to my wife, but alas, she wasn't as enamored with the film as I was.

June 19, 2022 - Added The Last Blockbuster -- Bye bye Mank

June 19, 2022 - Added The Father -- Bye bye
Promising Young Women

April 30, 2021 - Added Minari -- Bye bye Beasts Clawing at Straws

***This is an ongoing, dynamic list and there are a bunch of films I have yet to see that I plan to, ie. Minari, etc, etc. Just want to put that out there because a few entries on my top 10 might look a little wonky (Just Another Christmas, really??? EDIT: Nomandland knocked Just Another Christmas off the list, it was a fun ride while it lasted) In a "normal" year, that film would never make my Top 10, but it's 2020 and it is what it is.

****I've only included films listed as 2020 releases according to Letterboxd.

As I'm creating this list, I can't believe how bad of year it's been cinema-wise. March 8, 2021 edit - the more I watch the better the year is getting. Overall, still gonna be a down year but any improvements are a good thing.

The last movie I saw in theaters was Invisible Man.....

1. Nomadland
2. The Father
3. Soul
4. The Invisible Man
5. Minari
6. My Octopus Teacher
7. The Trial of the Chicago 7
8. The King of Staten Island
9. Palm Springs
