The Movie Log

Because great movies deserve to be remembered

Deadpool & Wolverine

2024 128 min
Directed by Shawn Levy · watched Sep 21, 2026
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfadyen
Genre: Action, Comedy, Science Fiction
My Office Rewatch Alone
“So damn good!! I love all of the Deadpool movies, but man, Renyolds and Jackman together just kill it! The introduction of Gambit, and Chris Evans showing up, not as Cap, but as a foul-mouthed Johnny Storm is so perfect. The fight scenes, the music, all of the Deadpools showing up for the fight, I could not have asked for anything more from this film. Then that post credit scene with Johnny badmouthing Casandra and the fact that a Disney-owned Marvel movie ends with the final word being "fuckface" and I could not be happier. So good, it deserves every star I give it!”

Gladiator II

2024 148 min
Directed by Ridley Scott · watched Sep 19, 2026
Starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen
Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama
In Home Theater First watch Alone
“It was a good way to see the story wrapped up, I like how it circled around and finally allowed Marcus Aurelius's dream to be realized. But honestly the movie dragged a bit and was a bit too long. However, I have to say, the acting was nicely played, I really liked the man who played Lucius and also Denzel Washington's character was really good. Overall it was a good watch, but not nearly as good as the original.”

Supergirl

2026 108 min
Directed by Craig Gillespie · watched Sep 18, 2026
Starring Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, Jason Momoa
Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction
In Home Theater First watch Alone
“It was pretty good, I thought the acting was well done and the story was pretty good. Some of the CGI left something to be desired, but the flying scenes were actually done really well. Overall it was a fun watch, not a great movie, but still a lot of fun.”

The Northman

2022 137 min
Directed by Robert Eggers · watched Sep 18, 2026
Starring Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Ethan Hawke
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
In Home Theater First watch Alone
“This was OK, I thought most of the movie was good, but I didn't particularly like the ending. I know it is an Eggers film, so I shouldn't expect a happy ending, and I wasn't, but I didn't expect what I saw and I didn't really like it. Up until the end it was OK, not great, and I thought the main character's acting was pretty stiff. I did, however, enjoy the film visually. I do really like Eggers's style.”

High Fidelity

2000 113 min
Directed by Stephen Frears · watched Sep 12, 2026
Starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Todd Louiso, Jack Black
Genre: Drama, Comedy, Romance, Music
In My Office Rewatch Alone
“Man, I can see why my younger self related to Rob so much! Pretentious, pedantic, obsessed with music and thinking your taste in music defined who you are! This was so me at like 18 years old. Thank God I figured things out (mostly) better than he did and at a younger age. I still enjoyed the watch, though, it was good, I liked it.”

The Fantastic 4: First Steps

2025 115 min
Directed by Matt Shakman · watched Sep 11, 2026
Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn
Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure, Action
In Home Theater First watch With Melissa
“Melissa and I watched this together and I thought it was really good. I'm not the biggest fan of Galactus as a villain, I just don't like the character, maybe it's because I don't understand him, but other than that, I thought the movie was a lot of fun.”

Superman

Directed by James Gunn · watched Sep 11, 2026
Starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi
Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure, Action

Directed by Alex Garland · watched Sep 7, 2026
Starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson

In Home Theater Rewatch Alone
“It was OK, and the idea is good, but honestly it wasn't as good as I remember and frankly felt a bit contrived.”

Directed by Ari Aster · watched Sep 7, 2026
Starring Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, Will Poulter
Genre: Horror, Drama, Mystery
In Home Theater First watch Alone
“Very fucked up movie, but I really enjoyed it! I love how it explored the toxic relationship of the two main characters in the backdrop of this beautiful setting while the village's rituals were shown in beautifully disturbing detail.”

Nosferatu

Starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby, Patricia Wettig
Genre: Comedy, Western
Montana (The New Frontier Ranch) Rewatch With MHS Guys in Montana

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw
Genre: Horror, Drama, Mystery, Fantasy, Thriller
On a plane First watch Alone
“I actually watched this on an airplane flying out to Montana. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, it wasn't really that scary, more of a psychological/ religious horror. I honestly thought it was pretty good.”

Blade Runner

1982 118 min
Directed by Ridley Scott · watched Aug 16, 2026
Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos
Genre: Science Fiction, Drama, Thriller
In Home Theater Rewatch Alone
“I watched this in the background as I was working. While I like this movie, it is certainly a sci-fi classic, it isn't my favorite. I watched the Director's Cut, which is supposed to be the definitive version of the movie, but I like how the different versions have subtly different meanings. While Blade Runner's slow burn works great for me sometimes, it is not always something I'm in the mood for, but I wanted to watch this again before I watched Blade Runner 2049 again.”

Deadpool 2

2018 120 min
Directed by David Leitch · watched Aug 16, 2026
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison

“I fucking love this movie!”

Twisters

2024 123 min
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung · watched Aug 15, 2026
Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea
Genre: Action, Thriller
In Home Theater First watch With Melissa
“Melissa and I sat down to watch our first movie just the two of us in the home theater and she wanted to watch Twisters. It was the first time we had seen it and it was far better than I expected. While not as good as the original (Bill Paxton's second best movie), it was a great watch. Great storms, good love story, made me cry a few times, I thought it was really good. Not one of my favorites, but I'll certainly watch it again. As a side note, for a Spielberg movie directed by a basically no-name director, I was quite surprised by it's quality. Especially for a movie that I thought was just a cash grab by the studio. The one objection I had was the lack of tie backs to the original. There may have been some there that I missed, but nothing obvious, which I would have liked.”

A Knight's Tale

2001 133 min
Directed by Brian Helgeland · watched Aug 13, 2026
Starring Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Paul Bettany
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Romance, Action
In Home Theater Rewatch Alone
“Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany absolutely make this move. I love the mix of setting the movie in medieval times but then have them speak and dance in a modern way. The comedy and love story are a nice balance, and Alan Tudyke is a master as always. Great dumb fun movie.”

Troy

2004 163 min
Directed by Wolfgang Petersen · watched Aug 2, 2026
Starring Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, Brian Cox
Genre: Action, Adventure
In Home Theater Rewatch Alone
“I watched this over two settings in preparation for seeing Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. It was a wonderful movie, but not as good as I think it could have been. I did like how it ended with the soldiers finding Achilles with only one arrow through him, through his ankle, his heel, giving good belief that the only thing that could have killed him was his Achilles heel.”

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

1993 84 min
Directed by Duwayne Dunham · watched Aug 1, 2026
Starring Michael J. Fox, Sally Field, Don Ameche, Kevin Chevalia
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Family
In Home Theater First watch With my Family
“Not exactly my cup of tea, but it was great to finally watch a movie with the whole family. Melissa, Amelia, and Elizabeth all joined me and this was the movie we chose to watch as a family. I brought a couple of tears to my eyes, and it's not a bad movie, just not something I'd watch by myself.”
