  The Boy and the Heron 2023

  Watched 27 Nov 2023

  To be fair, I don’t know why I, a person with a HEALTHY AND NORMAL fear of birds, thought that a movie with a bird in the title would be a good fit for me. HOWEVER, the birds in this movie are REALLY SCARY and there are A LOT of them. All I can hope is that this film helps more people realize that birds cannot be trusted and should be feared.

  The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes 2023

  Watched 24 Nov 2023

  I went in to this movie convinced that I did not think Tom Blyth was attractive, but that all changed when I saw him in a skirt. 😔 Thankfully, I was freed when he decided to… make a walking stick??? which gave me the ick! Yahoo!

  Also “winning a war 10 years ago doesn’t give you the right to kill and torture their children” or whatever they said. So true!

  The Social Network 2010

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 04 Nov 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  This is such an exceptional movie. My favorite part of the movie is that one Winkelvoss is always wearing sunglasses in order to differentiate him from the other Winkelvoss. My second favorite part of the movie is Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg, the greatest actors of our day. My third favorite part is the sound and music. My least favorite part is the final line from Rashida Jones. I’m not sure if it’s the way she says it or the line itself but it irks me. BUT Mark adding Erica as a friend and just refreshing is such an amazing ending I don’t really mind.

  Killers of the Flower Moon 2023

  Rewatched 22 Oct 2023

  had to resist the urge to point at the screen and say “cow” every time there was a cow

  This movie has increased the urgency I feel around continuing to reckon with my own position within the systems that have wreaked unimaginable horrors on the world we live in and the people I share it with, which is a pretty cool thing for a movie to do IMO. And also it’s just, like, good.
  
  Can you spot the wolves in this picture? It gives me shivers!
