7m Documentary Rated 3.5 out of 5
A really neat look at the lives of the Setomaa folk from the early 1900's. Some really great framing/shots as well.

I like movies and music in probably like a 65/35 split. I like food of all kinds but have no desire to learn how to cook.

Boundary 2010
16m Documentary Rated 2.0 out of 5
I would've gotten just as much out of this if it were half as long. In fact, it may have been more impactful.
Jack the Ripper 1976
1h 32m Drama Rated 3.0 out of 5
Kind of a long feeling 92 minutes, but the atmosphere of the streets, getting to really know and love the local establishments, and the kooky townsfolk banding together to try and discover Jack almost nearly make up for it.

The Ballad of Wallis Island 2025
1h 40m Comedy Rated 4.0 out of 5
A very sweet movie that zigs into some expected directions and zags into others one mightn't culminating in a bittersweet and tearful ending.
I liked it!

Gotta have a minyan if you wanna exorcise a dibbuk.
30 minutes well spent!
Rated 3.0 out of 5
Fun enough throwback to the teen dance movies from the late 90's/early 2000's, but modernized and Desi.
I'd 2.75 this if I could.
Secret Honor 1984
1h 30m Drama Rated 4.0 out of 5
Paranoid mama's boy Richard Nixon reckons with his life as a pawn.
This was actually an inadvertently neat companion piece to Swimming to Cambodia (1987); both one-man shows that are nearly in conversation with each other.
In Swimming, Spalding Gray (as himself) describes his time spent in Cambodia filming a fictional portrayal of a real-life event.
In Honor, Philip Baker Hall gives a stunning performance as Nixon in a fictional moment of his life (that I guess could've happened) that deals in part with the real-life events discussed in Swimming.
(It's also just wild that all of Robert Altman's signature moves work just as well here with one man as they do in a story with, like, 32 people talking all at once.)
Rambo: First Blood Part II 1985
1h 36m Action Rated 3.5 out of 5
One gets a bit of whiplash going from the fairly thoughtful depiction of PTSD in the first First Blood to the montage of murder in the second First Blood, but I suppose a small reprieve busting up rocks in a quarry was just good medicine for a guy like John J. Rambo.
