🎬 The Terminal

2004

★★★★☆

MY THOUGHTS

I've seen this film before and re-watched it. It's an inspiring story. I can't imagine being stuck in the terminal for a long time—must be frustrating and exhausting. I don't know how he managed it, especially since he was a cheerful man who helped out whenever possible. Remarkable. I believe it's based on a true story.

The Exorcism

★★★☆☆

2024 · Joshua John Miller

Swapped

★★★★☆

2026 • Nathan Greno

When a magical mishap swaps the body of Ollie — a small, curious Pookoo — with that of a majestic valley bird, two natural enemies are forced to team up to survive. Warm, funny, and actually charming, Swapped is the kind of animated film that sneaks up on you.

Watched: Invitation to a Murder two or three nights ago. ★★★★☆

I thoroughly enjoyed this film! It perfectly captured that classic Agatha Christie magic I love in a good detective story.

It’s set in 1930s England; six strangers are summoned to a remote island estate, and when bodies start turning up, an aspiring detective must find the killer among them before it’s too late.

I was so excited to find out there is a sequel out—Murder at the Embassy—and another on the way: The Mystery of the Golden Spear.

Gotta watch the sequel soon. I can’t wait to see more of Miranda Green!

The Running Man

★★★★☆

2025 • Edgar Wright

In a near-future America run by a corporate media empire, desperate working-class dad Ben Richards enters the most dangerous game show on television. Survive 30 days while being hunted by professional killers and the entire country, win a billion dollars. Nobody has ever survived.

Hoppers

★★★★☆

2026 • Daniel Chong

Mabel is a college student and devoted animal lover who discovers a technology that lets scientists "hop" human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals. She jumps at the chance, transferring her mind into a robotic beaver to save a local nature preserve from demolition, only to stumble into a full-blown animal uprising she never saw coming.

Finally watched: Thrash on Netflix. Solid watch — scary and tense at times, and clearly not done. Apparently there may be a sequel on the way. By the way, watch out for those bush sharks! 😬

★★★½☆

Watched: Sisu: Road to Revenge 🍿

Sisu — a Finnish word with no direct English translation. Think grit, resilience, and sheer stubborn will to survive, all rolled into one. That’s also the whole movie.

Post-WWII Finland. Ex-commando Aatami Korpi just wants to move his family’s house somewhere safe — until the Soviet commander who murdered his family comes hunting for him. Brutal chase movie. Ridiculous action. Jorma Tommila doesn’t say a word the entire film and still carries every scene.

Apparently there’s a first one I haven’t seen yet. Adding it to the watchlist.

Total blast.

★★★½☆

Watched: The Carpenter’s Son 🍿 ★★★☆☆

Always fascinated by Bible stories about Jesus — especially his life at birth, age 12, and 30–33. This one pulls from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, an apocryphal text covering ages 5–12 and Jesus’s uneasy relationship with his father. Interesting territory.

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:22:39 -0400

Watched: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 🍿 it was okay. Rating: ★★★☆☆

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:56:23 -0400

Watched Pretty Lethal!

Thrilled to see Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place) as a consistent Deaf character! Uma Thurman as a campy hotelier/ballerina was a complete surprise.

★★★½☆☆

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:57:03 -0400

Watched: GOAT 🍿★★★★

Will Harris is a literal goat in a sport built for rhinos and panthers — but GOAT works both ways. He’s chasing Greatest Of All Time status, and nobody thinks he can do it.

“I don’t play the long game, I play the tall game.”

Yeah, Will proved them wrong. Predictable? Sure. But “smalls can ball” landed.

I finished it smiling.

Finally, I watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die last night, and I thought it was okay. Decider thinks you should skip, but I watched it anyway. I give it ★★½ (out of 5 rating)

I just read an article.

AI has changed since then, and now it’s not something out there on the horizon. It’s here. It’s in our lives,” Verbinski says. “It did feel like it was immediate, that the story needed to be made quickly and put out right now.

Apocalyptic warning against AI. I never thought I’d see that framing — but AI is moving fast. So… maybe? Hmm.

Saw the teaser.— Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die — a sci-fi comedy; now on my watchlist. But, theater-only for now.

“a gleeful high-concept comedy with a serious message at its core.” — Critics Consensus at Rotten Tomatoes
