  • In the past week, I’ve watched:

    Paddington in Peru (theater)

    Moonstruck

    The Gorge

    Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse

    Cape Fear

    The Monkey (theater)

    I’d say both The Monkey and Paddington in Peru are among my favorite 2025 movies so far (though it’s early obv).

    Moonstruck is always great, watched it with my fiancée for Valentines Day.

    The Gorge was pretty mediocre with some interesting bits, but it just didn’t work for me overall.

    Spiderman was great; idk why I hadn’t seen it yet but I love how the newer animated Spiderman movies experiment with different art styles.

    Cape Fear was good. I loved how unhinged De Niro was in this.













  • Seems like a classic case of a film relating to a certain topic pissing off people who are really into that topic. The Brutalist with architecture, Black Swan with ballet, all kinds of fighting movies, all kinds of movies with “science-y” topics, etc. At the end of the day, the film isn’t a documentary and doesn’t need to portray things perfectly, they just need to portray them in a way that allows the story to be told well.
