Movies I watched in March

5 Stars

Watchmen (2009) : A re-watch with my brother while he was in town. He had never seen it and I really had to rectify this. Still holds up and guess what, I like it more than the comic. The ending makes more sense, fight me.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) : Also another re-watch with my brother. He has never seen any Wes Anderson and was interested and we’ve been wanting to start a Wes re-watch anyhow. He was surprised at how “not funny” it was. It’s not a knock he just thought Wes was more light hearted, which he definitely gets in his later filmography but there is still a lot of feelings in his movies. Still an amazing movie and I kind of like a more serious Wes.

4.5 Star

Project Hail Mary (2026) : I have not read this book (YET) but this movie was so much fun. A way more light hearted “Arrival” but also maybe I need an excuse to cry and want to watch “Arrival” now.

Hoppers (2026): After a few sleepy Pixar movies I’m glad to say that they hit it real good with this one. My favorite bit is how the animal have beady eyes every time we are looking at them through a human’s vision.

Lilo & Stitch (2002) : There can only be one and it’s this one. After we watched this and so thoroughly enjoyed it we put on the live action for like, 15 minutes, just to see, and oh my god what a travesty. And I am someone who at least liked the live action Aladdin. Original is smart comedy, beautiful animation, heartfelt, and doesn’t treat their audience like fools.

Special Shout Out to:

The Lawnmower Man (1992) : I gave this movie 4 Stars but this is one of the most balls to the wall craziest films I’ve every watched. We have dirtbag Pierce Brosnan, someone who went FULL Simple Jack, and some very early 3D animation that is just a wonderful time capsule of the early 90’s computer animation era. those parts reminded me of a crazed “Reboot” episode.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

Jobe: “...my birth cry will be the sound of every phone on this planet ringing in unison.”

Jobe: “I saw God! I touched God!”

Dr. Lawrence Angelo: “Jobe, listen to yourself right now. The first sign of psychosis is a Christ complex.”

Jobe Smith: “CyberChrist.”
