I don't usually watch movies as they are released. I watch them when I finally get curious about them. Sometimes it takes a decade or more. So I finally watched Sicario, which IMDB says it's from 2015 starring Emily Blunt and Benício Del Toro, two actors I really like, and directed by Dennis Villeneuve, a director I am starting to enjoy a lot.

It's a dark peek at the narco traffic war. Recommended.

Nothing But Trouble. They don’t make em like that anymore.

We are rewatching Lord of the Rings. We have this thing that my boyfriend cooks and I pick a movie for us to watch while we eat. Lately I have been very, very, very depressed and felt hopeless about the future, so my boyfriend decided to pick the movie we'd watch and put on Fellowship to cheer me up.

It's taking us most of the week to watch the trilogy, but I appreciate it.

Ngl, something inside me healed a little when we got to Sam's monologue.

Whether by choice, chance or the nudge of a loved one, Lord of the Rings always seem to peek its head back into my life when I need it the most.

My wife and I decided to work our way through thr IMDB Top 250 movie list. Once a week we sit down and watch one. This week was number seven on the list, 12 Angry Men from 1957. It was a very good movie.

I also watched the first Marvel Avengers movie from 2012.

Watched Mad Max Fury Road again. It's so good. Not just a 2 hour car chase but also that 😂

I watched the Masters of the Universe one. It was hovering just above the "I should turn this off" line for most of its run time, but It had enough self-aware camp value that I made it through without feeling like I'd robbed myself of the time. Note to the filmmakers: you can do a self-doubting hero without making him an unsympathetically milquetoast mess of a person.

I will give credit where it's due, though. When I saw the trailer, I assumed most of the movie would be filmed in Oklahoma for budget reasons, when in fact most of the movie was filmed on green-screens for budget reasons.

Idris Elba was pretty good.

Forgotten Island (2026) and Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
