  • Longlegs, 2024 - ★★
    I can’t say I understand the love for this movie. It’s the ‘no thoughts, just vibes’ of horror movies. If that last scene had made *any* sense, I’d probably add a star to my review, but it left me with even more wtf than before.
  • Last Action Hero, 1993 - ★★★★
    John McTiernan directed Die Hard, Predator, and The Hunt for Red October, three films I love, so it’s little wonder that Last Action Hero would be right up my alley.

  • 12 Angry Men, 1957 - ★★★★★ (contains spoilers)

    Janelle Monae remains the absolute best part of this film.
