When I was growing up my uncle took my brother and I to a movie every week and now I can't stop watching movies.

The Time Machine

2002

★★ Watched

This had some interesting ideas and changes from the source material, but none of what was changed and what was kept worked well together. Why adapt the story of a man travelling 400,000 years into the future to find a better world only to see it's more of the same, but give him a completely different reason for travelling (and also make it happen on accident), yet retain the Eloi and Morlocks that are no longer thematically relevant, but also…

The Time Machine

1960

★★★ Watched

Gotta love the filmmaking. There are some clever changes to the source material, though I was dissatisfied with the need to change the story to fit a romantic happy ending mold.

Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

2022

★★★½ Watched

Jason instinctively doing the Arrested Development chicken impression got me good.

The Killer

2023

★★★★ Watched

I enjoyed it but didn't quite get it at the end. And then I read some reviews here and realized I watched it as a straightforward thriller instead of a critique of hypermasculinity or meta commentary on Fincher himself, which probably explains my uncertain feelings at the end.
