2023 Movie Log: May

Guardians of the Galaxy – James Gunn (2023)
This literally made my brain hurt and then one of my all time favorite songs would come on and I’d be like what do I do with this information.
Grade: D

Millennium Mambo – Hou Hsiao-Hsien (2001)
Hou Hsiao-Hsien is a legend and a brilliant filmmaker. But part of me also thinks that just having an incredibly beautiful woman smoking like two thousand cigs in Taipei automatically gets you halfway to a great movie.
Grade: B+

The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Michael Jelenic, Aaron Horvath (2023)
Sometimes giant corporations make movies and you know what, they’re pretty good. Also Jack Black, an absolute king.
Grade: B

Air – Ben Affleck (2023)
Jason Bateman used Bruce Springsteen lyrics to explain why he can abide Nike sweatshops and I still didn’t hate this movie? I’m really getting more and more stupid.
Grade: C+

Paddington – Paul King (2014)
Best movie ever?!
Grade: A

Paddington 2 – Paul King (2017)
Best movie ever?!
Grade: A

Big fan of TV, movies, and books. Even bigger fan of maniacally recording my thoughts on them in the desperate and inevitably futile attempt to keep them in my memory forever. View all posts by Samuel
