Troll 2

1990

So bad, it’s good.

Can a movie truly be bad, if it fills you with joy? Is “good” even quantifiable or is “good” simply what makes you feel good? I can recognize that aspects of Troll 2 are bad, but it still makes me happy to watch it, so is it then a good movie? I’d watch Troll 2 100 more times before watching something like Argylle, which is arguably more competent, but brings far less joy. 

I think there’s immense value in consuming…

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1

Second time watching this and I connected with it a lot more. It still can be frustrating, but I’m sure if it was up to Costner we’d have every part of the story by now.

Has more life in its sizzle reel than most mainstream movies could muster up in 2 hours.

A short before a Dreamworks movie? Pixar found dead in a ditch.

Late Night with the Devil

Womp womp, movie uses AI images for some of the commercial break/transition title cards. I can already see the response, “it’s not that big of a deal” or “it doesn’t affect the movie”, which the latter may be true, but it’s a slippery slope. If this gets a , where do we draw the line? Complacency in accepting AI now is complacency for AI in the future— a very bleak future. 

Shame, for what’s it worth, I enjoyed the movie…

I’m glad Paint Drying exists because expressing my gratitude under Magic Mike XXL would have been strange. 

Many of you have found this profile through TikTok. Others locally through Letterboxd. If you’re in neither of those groups, then I’m not sure how you found me, but thanks for being here. 

I’ve crossed 34,000 followers and just published Episode 100 of my podcast. In a million years, I never would have guessed people cared for what I thought (it’s possible that people still…

Not an actual review since we only saw the first 2 episodes, but Mike Flanagan went beast mode.

Has the potential to be my favorite of his series. The ending of episode 2 left me gobsmacked.

From Ground Zero

2024

Watched

22 Palestinian short films. 22 Palestinian stories. 22 Palestinian voices. 

A collaboration of not just people, but also of art. A puppet show. A story told with construction paper. A song and dance. A voicemail from a loved one. A message in a bottle. A film cut short. 

From Ground Zero is a reminder of how powerful art can be— not just illuminating Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestine, but also as a tool to amplify Palestinian voices.

Since this is Letterboxd,…
