Short updates, microblog notes, and what I’m currently focused on.

  1. My rating 7/10

    It starts off great, with a nice sci-fi world and a fantastically scruffy Milly Alcock, but then turns into the same empty superhero schmaltz as always. It is told too quickly and packed with nonsensical action. How can you even CGI the dog?

  2. It is always astonishing how brutally cybersecurity regulations are worded for small to large companies and how much work they produce. And then something like this...

  3. My rating 9/10

    Very exciting and as physically realistic as possible. It takes me seriously as a viewer and has great ideas. Ryan Gosling is always fun to watch.

  4. My rating 6/10

    There is really nothing in this film that works particularly well. The story feels trivial, lacks structure, and is basically about nothing. Everything is predictable. There are only one or two good ideas, and it keeps chewing on them over and over. It does look nice, though.

  5. My rating 8/10

    A proper beatdown with great visuals and even a pretty decent story. 8/10.

  6. My rating 9/10

    I think this is a really great and exciting exploration of what it means to accept your partner’s quirks and flaws and find your way together. It is also honest about how difficult and unfair that can sometimes be.

  7. My rating 9/10

    I like blues and vampires. This brings both together and gives the characters plenty of time before things really kick off. Great.

  8. My rating 10/10

    One of the best Pixar films ever. Great ideas, hilarious, and Heidi Klum in her best role.

  9. It's quite impressive to see that an LLM may be intelligent enough to notice when it is being tested. That also means it can react in manipulative ways.

  10. My rating 8/10

    Wonderfully entertaining and gory uprising against your own boss. Some deep logic holes and fun twists.
