Normal (2025)

 

I like a good town under siege movie as much as the next guy. Normal had some potential, even with the weird Yakuza angle. The barely there plot and characters made it hard to emotionally invest, and so the carnage didn’t carry much weight when bodies hit the floor. 

Rating: C-


The Big Lebowski (1998)

 

Gave this one a second viewing in case I wasn’t able to fully appreciate it back in the day. To be fair, I think I did like it more this time. Certainly one of the Cohen Brothers weirdest, and that’s saying something. More about the characters than a compelling story, and there are some strange ones. 

Rating: C+


Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026)

 

Local octopus helps mend a cleaning lady’s heart. Lots of feels. Happy ending. 

Rating: C+


Buffet Infinity (2025)

 

Literally an endless stream of commercials and clips stitched together to create some kind of mystery. It didn’t work for me. Waste of time.

The Sheep Detectives (2026)

 

Once you get past the CGI sheep, it’s a cute film that focuses on community and a mystery. Made me miss Babe Pig In The City.
