It's a Wonderful Life

1946

★★★★½ Watched

The way Mary just shatters that record is so fucking cool

Baby Assassins: Nice Days

2024

★★★★½ Watched

WHERE THE HELL DID THIS ONE COME FROM? Right from the get-go it's easy to tell what a staggering directorial improvement this is over the first two, on top of having an actual consistent story with genuinely high stakes and danger, without sacrificing the quirky charm of our two protagonists. The best of the trilogy by far; the other two are cute and fun, but for a series that's basically "John Wick meets iCarly", I'm glad we finally got an installment that took more from the former instead of the latter.

Baby Assassins 2

2023

★★★½ Watched

The Baby Assassins movies be like "here's 90 minutes of these girls being silly!" and then in the last 10 minutes give you the rawest fight scene you've ever seen in your life

The Wrong Tros

1993

★★★★★ Watched

Knowing how Kojima's mind works, it's not impossible that Gromit sneaking around in a cardboard box is what inspired Snake doing that in Metal Gear Solid

Baby Assassins

2021

★★★½ Watched

Contrary to what I expected this is NOT a movie about literal babies who happen to be assassins, what a rip off!

1992

Pretty whatever when it's just the first movie again, pretty fun when it's not. Waiter waiter, more Tim Curry please!

Flow

Aaaaaaaa I love environmental storytelling! I love when animals don't talk but convey so much character and emotion regardless! I love the found family trope!

A vast improvement over Zilbalodis's previous film in of style and form, I can't wait to see what he does next. If this one's playing near you then run don't walk to see it!
