Novocaine

2025

★★½ Watched

I felt nothing during this movie, too.

A Minecraft Movie

2025

★★★ Watched

Fun theater experience that it's like Rocky Horror for children.
The Napoleon-esque humor would've landed better with a different cast and slower editing.
The best line was "I'm sorry about your finances."
It gave me a headache.

Postcard From Earth

2023

★★ Watched

Koyaanisqatsi as made by someone hamfisted, elitist, and who thinks the audience is stupid (and who doesn't know as good a composer). The narration is meant to be scientific and artistic, but only succeeds in making me wish for a mute button.
There are some impressive shots, although most of the film does not take advantage of the screen size. And if you have been to Omnimax (or Imax) and have seen BBC docs, you will not see anything new here, just bigger and louder.

Stage Fright

2014

★★★½ 2

Although it drags in a few places where it leans more toward traditional slasher than corny musical, I thought it was clever and funny and very enjoyable.
