  • Vertigo

    Greatest. Movie. Ever. Made. Period.

  • Annihilation

    I feel like I already reviewed this, which likely may be the point.

    I really loved the special effects, characterization, and energy of this film.
    Also, I have a strong attraction for Jennifer Jason Leigh, but I do not know why–something from my childhood is definitely triggered by her

  • Ready player one

    I liked this movie–not as well as the poorly written book–but still a very fun adventure romp!

    The plot is rather shallow, the adventure elements are predictable, but the special effects are amazing.
    I saw this with Fred and Jane–it was Fred’s bachelor party!

  • Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait (2017)

    https://www.imdb.com/videoembed/vi2276178201

    A fun documentary–mostly praising the artist who was hated when I was in school (it was nice to see another side of him).

    The early stuff was great–I had no idea he had a love of surfing.

    It was nice to see the ex-wives, clearly another example of the risks of leaving your first love.

    The part with Lou Reed was without a doubt the best.

    Worth seeing.

  • Burden


    A great and highly recommended Documentary on Orange County Artist Chris Burden who has been stolen by Los Angeles.
    So much of this is so good–specifically, the end section in which the Artist finds his home. 
    Just brilliant!

  • California Typewriter

    This is a completely fantastic documentary about Typewriter culture. I recently saw it on Hulu after missing it in theaters and I am so glad I did!

    Literally made me want to buy a typewriter as soon as it was over!

  • 24 Hour Comic

    This was a very fun movie that documented a 24 Hour Comic event in Portland. It was playful and fun and captured a lot of why comics still matter.

    A fun Documentory.

  • Avengers


     Jack & I went to see Avengers.

    We started with some Magic in the hallway.






    then enjoyed a great film.


    And ended the night riding in a rocket!




  • Cloud Atlas

    I could not find a time when Lisa would go and see this with me. I totally loved the book. I thought the movie was ok–some of the structural cleverness was lost. Also, the literary genre hopping was hard to capture. But overall a great time at the movies was had.

  • To the Limit

    Amazing climbing movie that Jack and I watched.
