I already had a slice of cherry pie, but I'm thinkin' I might need a slice of pumpkin, too.

Mom and I decided to make this our Thanksgiving watch. Lol.
A review of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)
The motherhood version of Beau Is Afraid? A relentless surrealist anxiety nightmare, piling slight on abuse on trauma on calamity, until you find yourself needing to laugh at what feels even kinda fun...

This feels correct to me.

Using my Pixel as one, it's certainly fast enough and reliable enough for my one computer, even using Zoom, but I've never tried letting others connect to it at the same time.

I went to check to make sure nothing was happening in our back lot!

Stick with me on this one.
A review of Jay Kelly (2025)
Forgive me, but my first thought as this was wrapping was, "This is just a tonier Bojack Horseman." An older actor at the tail end of his career (Clooney), looking back with regret at the friends and ...

Then tonight I got meditative again with "The Souvenir." That boyfriend's a piece of work.
A review of The Souvenir (2019)
Experienced a lot of film-school PTSD during this, not because I, too, went through it while trying to stick it out with an emotionally abusive heroin-addict older boyfriend, but because I recognized ...

Then yesterday I had some folks over to watch "The Thin Man." A noir comedy. What a concept.
A review of The Thin Man (1934)
Some good repartee between William Powell and Myrna Loy as they solve a murder while near-perpetually six martinis deep, proving not every noir has to be hard-boiled. The mystery itself feels secondar...

Then also on Saturday I watched "Train Dreams," which is now on Netflix and which you should watch if you want something quiet and meditative.
A review of Train Dreams (2025)
I tell ya, I’d recognize Will Patton’s voice anywhere. Just learned he narrated the audio book this is based on, too, which makes sense. He’s got a voice that reassures, even as it’s telling you a mel...

Egad, I gotta catch up on what I watched over the weekend. First of all, I revisted "Shame," and I still think it's McQueen's best.
A review of Shame (2011)
Oh, hey, look what I found on HBO Max. My favorite McQueen. Everyone likes Widows, but I prefer his bleaker offerings. Give me Fassbender looking like he's in complete agony and despair as he climaxes...
