🎥 The Martian

rewatch, Mar. I'd forgotten almost every detail, so it was great to revisit this and compare it with Project Hail Mary. It's more serious and down-to-earth (in a manner of speaking), but interestingly I found the actual themes to feel quite a bit lighter. It's a great counterpart and I'd recommend watching both to compare!

🎥 Sinners

completed, Mar. Shockingly good music, likeable characters, dozens of great moments. Horror-themed, rather than horror, in my opinion, but to it's great credit. Great looking movie, tonnes of fun to watch.

🎥 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

completed, Mar. The 2003 remake. Remarkably serviceable, at least when taking it on its own terms.

🎥 One Battle After Another

rewatch, Mar. Watched it again with my parents, and unsurprisingly it still rocks.

🎥 Project Hail Mary

completed, Mar. Overall this was a really fun film, really did a great job maintaining the emotional intensity while still being really frequently funny. I think it really benefited from taking itself seriously, it never undermined the premise.
