I crossed another movie off my "I can't believe I've never seen" list yesterday with my first watch of Master and Commander. Absolutely fantastic film, I just sat back and enjoyed the ride that Russell Crowe took me on with his capable hands. It recently got a new 4K transfer and looked fantastic, those navy battles were breathtaking.

One of the best of all time. Perhaps only topped by Lord of the Rings.

I watched the 4K version yesterday as well. It's one of those "they don't make them like that any more" movies even though it's just over 20 years old.

Had fun with Toxic Avenger. Campy R rated junk food with an attitude.

It's a 2023 film that I guess had trouble finding a distributor because they weren't sure what kind of audience would go to see it. I guess I am in that demographic lol.

Elijah Wood loves these sort of roles since he stepped out of the spotlight. The last couple films of his I've seen have been #####ed, but I get the sense that he enjoys them.

There is a post credit scene.

The New York Times has compiled a list of the best 100 movies of the 21st Century. Unfortunately, they started with Jan 1st 2000, but I'll forgive them since it's not like they're a respected news organization.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/best-movies-21st-century.html

I have no big beefs with the list because it's subjective, and there aren't any stinkers on it, although I'd maybe argue that Anchorman doesn't belong.


I've seen 83 of the films on the list, and I want to see 11 of those that remain.





Spoiler!

Movies like Anchorman were Millennials' Stripes. It's still one of the most quotable movies of the last 20 years.

Ugh. I hated 'Gravity.'

They should have ejected hysterical Sandra Bullock into the Moon.

It was an absolutely fantastically shot, beautiful looking movie, but the story and the characters? No Bueno.
