Borderlands (2024)
I've never played Borderlands. I had no idea what was going on in this movie. But the line up of Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black and Kevin Hart is truly shocking.

Mayday (2026)
Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh is a powerful duo and they overcome what is otherwise a mediocre action comedy.
|
40 Dates and 40 Nights (2026)
Our friend suggested we watch this "bad rom-com" and none of us were prepared for it. We made it through it, but I don't know how. The high point was Jeremy Culhane's random role in a pharmacy for about 45 seconds of the movie.
|
The Rip (2026)
I overall enjoyed it, the tenseness and plot kept me into it. But I think it's unlikely I come back to it again.
|
No Country for Old Men (2007)
I know, I know, I should have watched it earlier. Jesus Christ, what a masterpiece.
Hilariously, after the movie ended, Paramount recommended our next viewing should be: The Hangover, Part III. .🤪

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)
Sadly disappointing given the pedigree and talent. A sequel which proves it didn't need to exist.
|
Disclosure Day (2026)
I was sadly disappointed with this movie. I truly just did not find it enjoyable.
|
Looper (2012)
I've seen it before but I decided I needed to rewatch it. Glad I did. It's a great movie and it handles time travel fantastically.

I've had a variety of ideas in this space for some daily film-based sort of social game. I've finally put it together and launched it for a first attempt.
The premise is simple: Rank five films in the order of best to worst according to their IMDB ratings.

Movie Radar: Masters of the Universe (2026)
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It was good campy fun. I still hate Jared Leto in literally everything though.
|
In Time (2011)
I really like the concept of this movie. I saw it originally in the theaters when it came out but unfortunately this movie just doesn't land in any of its elements. It's "almost good" in everything.
|
True Romance (1993)
I'd never watched it before and it came up on Jeopardy! tonight, so we put it on.
|
The Hunger Games (2012)
I rewatched the movie yesterday and then this morning to finish it. I am reminded now how disappointed I was by the adaptation, it did wonderfully in creating the world and setting but so much of the written story and its nuances was lost in the adaptation.

My current Top 50
I wrote a new movie tool that puts movies into a matchup and then generates Elo rankings for them. With over 2300 movie matches calculated, here are my current top 50:
|
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Twenty years old and yet it has aged quite well. Still a classic.
|
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
Since we watched the first, we continued in to watching the second one. And, look, it's a kid's movie. That's the most important thing. But, as entertainment for adults - it was bad.
|
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
I had watched this previously on an airplane, but I dozed off multiple times. So the wife and I gave it a watch last night.
|
Mission Impossible (1996)
Crazy to think that this movie is thirty years old. Well, I say that, but so much of this movie is aged. From the dial up internet and bad technology, to the style and cinematography.
