- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 day ago:
Since my comment on the previous post, I’ve seen:
The Goonies (rewatch)
Pineapple Express (rewatch)
Nickel Boys (theater)
Flow (theater)
Speed
The Other Guys (rewatch)
Universal Soldier
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Did a double feature with my S/O at the theater on Saturday with Nickel Boys and Flow. Both were very good in their own ways.
Lots of rewatches this week since I was just in mood to watch some of my goto comfort movies.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Speed before but it’s been so long and my memory of it is so vague, I’m considering it basically a first time watch. Great action flick. Keanu is goofy and fun as usual and Sandra Bullock is very charming in her role.
Universal Soldier was very dumb and pretty much a ripoff of Terminator. Very fun action flick nonetheless. Would be a good one to watch and riff on with friends.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was pretty good. It was interesting that it’s a romcom that avoids a lot of romcom tropes and had an unconventional protagonist for the genre, but still works perfectly fine as a romcom.

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.

- Comment on Backlash builds: why the architecture world hates The Brutalist 4 weeks ago:
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, 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.

Very cool. Hopefully this plays near me.
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 4 weeks ago:
I won’t go so far as to say this is better than Terminator 2, but Gremlins 2 is such a great sequel. Some people are turned off by the zaniness, but I love how it’s basically a parody of unnecessary sequels and that they just swung for the fences with it.
