We went to the movies! I watched HAMNET. It left me completely emotionally drained. I think it's the most I've cried in a movie since Late Spring. Absolutely transcendent. Hold your kids tight.

#Hamnet #FilmSky #2025Movies
Hamnet A group of people stand right up at the edge of the stage of the Globe Theater. 5 Stars A journey to the undiscovered country.

I watched LEFT-HANDED GIRL and enjoyed it a lot! The cinematography is really impactful and it feels so alive and present. The performances are also pretty good all the way around. Really recommended!

#LeftHandedGirl #FilmSky #2025Movies
Left-handed Girl A woman is riding on a moped through a Taipei night market. 4 Stars An intimate slice of life drama that is tender and empathetic.

We took the whole family to ZOOTOPIA 2! It was a lot of fun! It has some interesting worldbuilding dealing with the displacement of indigenous people. Ultimately it's a bit formulaic, but still solid!

#Zootopia2 #FilmSky #2025Movies
Zootopia 2 Nick Wilde is looking at Judy Hops. They're in group therapy together. They have a problematic codependent relationship, and their body language shows it! 4 Stars Lives up to the original film, and builds out the world in interesting ways.

I watched IN YOUR DREAMS in between cooking for Thanksgiving! I didn't love it, and felt like it needed more structure and less Calvinball. Also, way too much mugging at the camera.

#InYourDreams #FilmSky #2025Movies
In Your Dreams Two kids are on a bed with a demented baloney loving stuffed giraffe. The entire image looks like it is made out of psychotic neon Chucky cheese lights. 2 Stars While cute and thoughtful, it also lacks structure and tonal consistency.

It's Thanksgiving Break! I went and saw ETERNITY which was fine! It doesn't really live up to the promise of the premise, and the main trio has virtually zero chemistry. But there are fun and emotional bits?

#EternityMovie #FilmSky #2025Movies
Eternity Elizabeth Olsen is looking into Callum Turner's eyes while Miles Teller is looking on. There is zero chemistry in the picture. They're in front of a giant departure board. 2.5 Stars An adequate romance that mostly works as a bargain bin Good Place.

Probably a premium showing like IMAX which definitely costs more. But also
Movie ticket prices adjusted for inflation. After the adjustment, the ticket price is roughly the same as it has been for 60 years.

We watched THE BAD GUYS 2! It's super fun and the animation is gorgeous. We called it KidzBop Fast and Furious, and it's a great film for the whole family, and I will gladly watch a third movie.

#TheBadGuys2 #FilmSky #2025Movies
The Bad Guys 2 A wolf in a suit, and a shark, snake, spider, and piranha are in gear for a heist. 3.5 stars Yet another delightful animated caper for the Dreamworks team. Great fun for the whole family.

We took the whole family to see WICKED: FOR GOOD! Its great! After seeing the musical this summer, I was nervous about if they could land this flying broomstick, but I think that this expanded 2nd part fills in a lot of holes. Brilliant film.

#WickedForGood #FilmSky #2025Movies
Wicked: For Good Elphaba and Galinda face off on the yellow brick road. 4.5 stars John Chu brings home this story in a resounding success that improves on the stage play.

I watched TRAIN DREAMS which completely wrecked me. Joel Edgerton is beyond words. Reminds me of a Terrence Malick film. Best photography of the year.

#TrainDreams #FilmSky #2025Movies
Train Dreams A man and his wife and his daughter are walking in the woods. It feels both intimate and vast. The father is showing a flower to his daughter. 5 Stars Stunning

I watched AFTER THE HUNT. Smh. It doesn't even look good. The score is atrocious. The performances are fine I guess, but the writing is just nonsensical. Really let down by this one.

#AfterTheHunt #FilmSky #2025Movies
After the Hunt Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield are sitting on a very expensive sofa looking arrogant as all fuck. 1.5 stars Messy and regressive. A major disappointment on every level.

I watched IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU. While I found it extremely relatable, especially right now, I also found it to be extremely anxiety inducing. Rose Byrne is great; there isn't a lot of anyone else to do. Not really a me film!

#FilmSky #2025Movies
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You Rose Byrne is lying in the sand by the shore. She is glistening from ocean water. Its night. She looks miserable. 2.5 Stars An anxiety-inducing actor's showcase. A delirious frenzy.

I watched NOUVELLE VAGUE which is a fun film experiment doing a pseudo-documentarian approach to recreating the filming of BREATHLESS. It feels alive and charming. Worth a watch!

#NouvelleVague #FilmSky #2025Movies
Nouvelle Vague Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg as Patricia Franchini is kissing Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo as Michel Poiccard on the cheek in front of a newsstand. Shot in black and white 3.5 Stars A movie imitating a movie that was imitating the movies. Simply Breathless.

Ethan and I watched THE RUNNING MAN in IMAX! It was fun, though a little bit tonally inconsistent. Glen Powell goes really big, but the other parts are pretty underwritten. Some good action sequences. Some bad CGI. Could've been great, but undercooked.

#TheRunningMan #FilmSky #2025Movies
The Running Man Glen Powell is in a futuristic slump. He's dressed warmly, in layers, and he looks determined. 2.5 Stars A silly fo that never quite finds the sincerity to mean its message.

I watched SORRY, BABY. Its great! Very poetic. Just a nice cozy and intimate movie about a horrible thing happening to someone. Lots of great filmmaking. Worth a watch.

Sorry, Baby Eva Victor is in a blue jacket. She's holding up a kitten. She is framed by white clouds in a very blue sky. 4 Stars Nothing bad happens to the cat.

We watched FRANKENSTEIN as a family! Phenomenal film! Every technical piece of the film Is a masterwork. I think it's in my top five for the year. Oscar Isaac is tremendous. Jacob Elordi is heartbreaking.

#Frankenstein #FilmSky #2025Movies
Frankenstein Oscar Isaac is in early 1800s clothes. He's in a medical theater and he is on trial. He is speaking to the tribunal with righteous fury. 5 Stars "While you are alive, what recourse do you have but to live? "

Ethan and I went to see PREDATOR: BADLANDS! Great time at the movie theater. Really fun action film with lots of interesting decisions. Highly recommend seeing it soon to avoid spoilers. Dan Trachtenberg is the Truth.

#PredatorBadlands #FilmSky #2025Movies
Predator: Badlands Dek the Yautja is wearing Ell Fanning as a backpack. 4.5 stars Fun two-hander that opens up the franchise to new opportunities.

I watched HEDDA which rocked so hard. Tessa Thompson is gorgeous and also delivers one of the most iconic performances of the year. A truly inspired adaptation. Nia DaCosta truly delivers.

#Hedda #FilmSky #2025Movies
Hedda Tessa Thompson is wearing a green dress and it is cut quite low. She has white gloves, a string of pearls, and her hair is perfectly coiffed. She looks phenomenal, just absolutely fucking gorgeous. It is impossible to explain how elegant and beautiful she looks. I'm sorry. There just aren't words! 4.5 stars Tessa Thompson delivers a gripping and stirring performance.

I watched BUGONIA. I hated it. I do not understand how the plot of this movie surprises anyone. Lanthimos is a fraud. Bees are cool.

#Bugonia #FilmSky #2025Movies
Bugonia Emma Stone has her head shaved. The entire image is in a stark hoarder house that looks depressing as shit just like this dumbass movie. 1 Star Nihilistic, predictable, and cowardly.

I watched BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER. It was not good not good at all. Incredibly disappointing. Looks gorgeous but the story is all over the place. Also, this movie singlehandedly fucked over my Fantasy Movie League score 😭

#FilmSky #BalladOfASmallPlayer #2025Movies
Ballad of a Small Player Colin Farrell is in a red blazer with orange gloves at a baccarat table about to go all in. 2 Stars Messy and tonally inconsistent.

I watched OFF THE RECORD! It has strong lifetime movie vibes and doesn't feel like a fully funded production, but there are some fun choices in here, and I'm curious what everyone involved will do next.

#OffTheRecord #FilmSky #2025Movies
Off the Record A man and woman stand on the beach next to a facade that says Sea of Devastation. 2.5 Stars While this film doesn't feel fully realized, it does have some great moments.

I watched SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. It's one of the best films I've seen this year. Great performances, incredible sonic texture to experience in the theater, gorgeously shot, beautiful period production. Cannot recommend this enough.

#Springsteen #FilmSky #2025Movies
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere Bruce Springsteen is sitting on the floor with a guitar looking despondent. 5 Stars The real deal
