Recent movie review round-up (2025)
This past year was an awkward time for movies. Perhaps it was most acutely captured by a Tron sequel/reboot nobody wanted, staring an actor most people can’t stand. At the risk of sounding overly negative, it was a “meh” year for movies in general. Still, there were a few gems — I only wish there…

Recent movie review round-up (2024)
Due to time constraints last year I never got to post a “part one” of my movie roundup for 2024. So you’re getting it all in one lump sum. Maybe I’ll do the same thing this year, maybe not — we’ll see how it goes. Regardless I’m posting this a bit late, which for this…

Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2023)
Right as it seemed the movies were back in a big way, the powers that be in Hollywood screwed up with yet even more poor business decisions and a lengthy strike with two major unions. So even though I’m still going to call this one “second half of 2023” for consistency, most of these movies…

Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2023)
Sometimes it’s difficult to say if there’s a theme to the movies that came out recently versus if there’s a theme to the movies you chose to watch. The truth is probably somewhere in between. Looking back at the past six months of movies I’ve watched, it’s been a blend of nostalgia, oddball comedy, and…

Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2022)
With a chilly and surprisingly rainy fall and winter here on the west coast, I had so much time to watch movies recently that I had to remind myself to slow down. On these lists I only cover recent releases, even though I do watch older movies all the time. While I could review those…

Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2022)
I’ve never tried to come up with any sort of “theme” for the movies I review in these posts, I just watch whatever interests me and try my best to summarize my thoughts. But this time around — especially compared to my previous movie review round-up — all of these are relatively small-ish budget films.…

Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2021)
It seems like it had been been ages since I set foot inside any type of live venue, but since my last movie review roundup I have started seeing movies in theaters again. Specifically at my local Alamo Drafthouse, which follows San Francisco’s strict vaccination requirements. I saw about half of these at that theater…

Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2021)
Once again it’s movie time! Similar to my last movie review roundup I watched all of these movies from home, although now that most of us are vaccinated a few theaters have reopened. Personally I can’t see myself going back to theaters until things are fully back to normal — no temperature screenings, masks that…

Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2020)
In the last installment of my movie review roundups I expressed some concern about new movies in 2020 due to the pandemic. Thankfully I was wrong: while many big budget movies were delayed, 2020 turned out to be a great year for new indie and medium budget movies debuting on streaming services. Surprisingly three movies…

Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2020)
It certainly hasn’t been a great year for movies with the global pandemic so a handful of these are from last year. What can I say, it’s been a good year for streaming and catching up on good movies we missed in theaters. The order here is disjointed just like last time. Whatever, roll with…
