Letterjard 2025

I like to watch movies. I like to draw brains. Here are brain movie posters:
Also peep my Letterboxd if you're inclined.

Great movie. Watched it again, still great.

Was this movie worth 16 hours of driving? I don't know, but its pathos was unexpectedly timely. Memento mori.

I've missed movies like this. Liam Neeson is hysterical.

Lived up to the hype. I think I'm in the minority putting it above Weapons.

What a roller coaster. I laughed so hard at the end.

How does Michael Gandolfini keep getting roles?

Unadulterated fun.

What a difference a decade+ makes. Hell yeah.

Surprised by how much I enjoyed this!

The lack of input from Reubens when talking about his scandals is noticeable. It is obvious that this documentary was important to him to get out, even if it ended up being too challenging to face entirely.

So funny and very disturbing. It's like a 10 year old edited a psychological thriller.

Surprised to find this one. Really enjoy JDM and Jack Quaid.

Took a rewatch, but I enjoy it now. Retracting my original take.

"Tom Cruise is the only one who can save us." -- Tom Cruise. Overall, a fun movie and the best part is the whole underwater bit from Tramell Tillman to the sunken sub.

A little disappointed by this one. Leaned too much into the Okja of Snowpiercer for me.

I didn't hate this as much as everyone else I guess. I thought each character was perfectly insufferable.

B̶e̶s̶t̶ Least staying power of the Jack Quaid triliogy.

2nd movie this year in which David Harbour stole the show.

Pretty funny. Definitely relies on cameos-equal-jokes, but I laughed. Bad Bunny funny.

Crazy action but incredibly stupid.

I'm so confused. Why did the restaurant depressurize?

A movie about nothing works so much better when it's baseball instead of a Christmas party.

Definitely saw this 20 years after I was supposed to, but nonetheless great. Okay, maybe 2 years.

I didn't fully like this one, but it feels wrong to group it with the other slop I've seen this year.

John Malkovic's singing is by far the most interesting part of this movie.

Other miss by A24. What is happening to my darling?

This movie made $17,000 in a sole weekend and no one heard of it. After watching it, I get why. POOOoooaaaAAAaaaAh

Oh man I really wanted to like this. This is not Final Destination.

What's the opposite of a spiritual successor? Anyway Rami Malek does a far less interesting Mr. Robot.

That moon was HUGE.

Why was Han Solo red? And where was Eric Bana?

Weird pacing. Spent a lot of time building up and then it ended as soon as anything happened.

Stupid, stupid premise. I don't get how people would be bored of dinosaurs, but I was bored by this movie.

Ironically, despite changing the source material so much, this movie felt like a video game. But it also felt like those shitty dime a dozen horror movies (As Above So Below, Pyramid, etc.).

First movie of 2025! This year's Ricky Stanicky doesn't hold a candle to its predecessor.

Incredibly boring. Guy Richie should take a breather and make something actually fun.

This cost how much to make? Also why did all the machines need to be controlled with a little boy's brain?

There was a tree monster in the gorge.

I have so many questions about this movie, but the bullets in that list wouldn't come close to the number of bullets it takes to kill someone in this.

Kinda surprised by the reception to this. Felt bored.

What a stupid tonal shift from the first movie. New Megan looked like Elizabeth Olsen.

This movie left such a little impression that the only proof I have to myself that I saw it is my letterboxd review.

RedLetterMedia put this on my radar and did not lie. Bad and confusing movie.

This movie was so confusing that I didn't even realize I somehow skipped 40 minutes ahead. Going back and rewatching didn't make it better.

I feel simultaneously offended and embarrassed by this movie.

This movie is gross, boring, and stupid. Lacks anything fun that the Poohs have.
