| 2 | Paprika (2006) | Jan 08 | Colorful, vivid and great animation but so so bizaare | 4.0 |
| 3 | Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) | Jan 08 | Insanely good, I can see why it won best picture | 5.0 |
| 4 | Looper (2012) | Jan 09 | Entertaining enough, but raises so many time travel questions | 4.0 |
| 5 | John Wick 2 (2017) | Jan 12 | Better than I expected | 5.0 |
| 6 | Ad Astra (2019) | Jan 13 | Kinda draggy | 3.5 |
| 7 | Klaus (2019) | Jan 13 | Surprisingly good. Fantastic animation | 5.0 |
| 8 | Marriage Story (2019) | Jan 14 | Great performances. Ma didn't like the ending. | 5.0 |
| 9 | Fist of Fury (1972) | Jan 14 | Great fight scenes. Actually a bit more plot than I expected | 5.0 |
| 10 | Coming to America (1988) | Jan 15 | I had low expectations, but it was better than I thought it would be. Ma would like it! | 3.5 |
| 11 | MIB International (2019) | Jan 15 | Kind of predictable | 3.0 |
| 12 | Batman vs TMNT (2019) | Jan 16 | Ridiculous, but fun. Good for kids. | 4.0 |
| 13 | 6 Underground (2019) | Jan 17 | The editing and scene transitions were all over the place. A very Michael Bay film. | 3.5 |
| 14 | The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Jan 18 | This movie does nothing to improve my opinion of modern capitalism. | 4.5 |
| 15 | Parasite (2019) | Jan 19 | Really good, but IDK how to begin to describe it. Worth overcoming the 1 inch subtitle barrier for. | 5.0 |
| 16 | Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) | Feb 04 | Very light-hearted and idyllic. At first it felt a bit boring, but it had me smiling by the end. | 5.0 |
| 17 | Uncut Gems (2019) | Feb 07 | Sandler gave a good performance, but I struggled to get through the early parts of the movies because his character and situation are so unrelatable to me personally. | 4.0 |
| 18 | Knives Out (2019) | Feb 09 | A fantastic murder mystery, maybe the best I've ever seen, great performances all around. | 5.0 |
| 19 | Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) | Feb 10 | Watched this because a redditor said ROTK robbed it of best picture in 2003. This is a great war movie, but he was wrong | 5.0 |
| 20 | Jojo Rabbit (2019) | Feb 11 | Best movie about a Nazi ever. Most colorful depiction of Nazi Germany. Fantastic movie. | 5.0 |
| 21 | Coach Carter (2005) | Feb 27 | I watched this because I saw it in a "top inspirational speeches" YT video. Pretty good sports movie. | 4.0 |
| 22 | Superman: Red Son (2020) | Feb 27 | An acceptable adaptation of one of my favorite Superman stories. Minus points for not including the "House of L" epilogue. | 4.0 |
| 23 | Billy Madison (1995) | Mar 23 | Watched this so I know the context of the "I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul" clip. Typical early Sandler movie. | 3.0 |
| 24 | Princess Mononoke (1997) | Mar 23 | Much more action-packed than the last Ghibli movie I watched. Beautifully animated. | 5.0 |
| 25 | Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2017) | Mar 25 | Spoiler-free review | - |
| 26 | Logan Lucky (2017) | Mar 25 | Fun heist movie, but I find it hard to take the characters seriously. Might be some anti-redneck bias. | 4.0 |
| 27 | The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) | Mar 30 | See below | 4.0 |
| 28 | The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) | Apr 07 | See below | 4.0 |
| 29 | Project 88: Back to the Future Too (2020) | Apr 10 | Fantastic fan-made shot-by-shot recreation of Back to the Future II, put together during quarantine, w/ stop motion, kids, sock puppets, bananas, potatoes and much more! | 5.0 |
| 30 | The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies (2014) | Apr 10 | This trilogy had far too many extra things that weren't in the books, but it was pretty good. I rank them Desolation > Five Armies > Journey. | 4.0 |
| 31 | The Departed (2006) | Apr 10 | This was intense. I liked it more than Goodfellas. | 5.0 |
| 32 | Spirited Away (2001) | Apr 15 | Shades of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. Easily the best Ghibli film I've watched so far. | 5.0 |
| 33 | Psych the Movie (2017) | May 03 | It's like an extended episode of Psych! | 4.0 |
| 34 | The Siege (1998) | May 05 | Caught this on Cinemax when I went down for lunch. Much too idealistic in hindsight, given what happened in New York 3 years after this film released. | 3.0 |
| 35 | Ready Player One (2018) | May 05 | A predictable yet fun romp. | 4.0 |
| 36 | Kong: Skull Island (2017) | May 07 | Exciting popcorn movie. | 4.0 |
| 37 | Ang Huling El Bimbo: The Musical (2019) | May 08 | Ok, so this one isn't really a movie. The appeal for me is mostly the music and the nostalgia. The plot was serviceable, though some may find it problematic. | 4.0 |
| 38 | Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020) | May 15 | This was great, and appropriatly dark. Good send-off for the DCAMU. | 4.0 |
| 39 | Zombieland Double Tap (2019) | May 27 | A fun romp, but pretty much more of the same. | 3.0 |
| 40 | Sonic the Hedgehog (2019) | Jun 27 | Fun with Ben Schwartz, but James Marsden's character is kinda dumb. Needs a lot of suspension of disbelief. | 3.0 |
| 41 | Mission Impossible Fallout (2018) | Jun 29 | Good watch, it's MI, you know how it goes. Maybe 40% of it is Tom Cruise running. | 3.0 |
| 42 | Atomic Blonde (2017) | Jul 11 | I came in thinking it was a John Wick style action movie. True, but it's also a Cold War spy thriller. Nice twists, but might be a bit hard to follow near the end. | 3.0 |
| 43 | The Old Guard (2020) | Jul 12 | Didn't know what to expect, never read the Greg Rucka graphic novel on which it was based. Action-packed, fun watch. | 4.0 |
| 44 | Superman Man of Tomorrow (2020) | Aug 28 | Not too good. Weird animation. Writing all over the place. | 3.0 |
| 45 | Bill and Ted Face the Music (2020) | Aug 29 | A most excellent sequel, echoing the earlier two movies. A midlife crisis journey full of heart and time travel nonsense. Little Billie and Theda are great! | 5.0 |
| 46 | Enola Holmes (2020) | Sep 27 | It's okay. Basically young adult/Nancy Drew Sherlock Holmes, with a bit of feminism thrown in. Mycroft annoying as usual. | 3.0 |
| 47 | Girl Next Door (2004) | Oct 31 | - | |
| 48 | Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) | Dec 30 | There's a bunch of things that don't make sense (even accounting for myths etc), but it helps to think this movie takes place pre-crisis. | 3.0 |
