Film Diary
I love film. I love making films and I love watching films. Unfortunately I don't have much time to make films these days, but below are a few I watched recently.

28 Days Later, 2002 - ★★★★
This was hard to watch. I haven’t fully developed words to explain what the movie made me feel, but mostly I just felt sad. Sad that this seemed far too realistic. Sad that I’ve seen so many echo sentiments of “we need a civil war” because there’s no possible way we can come to a consensus otherwise. Sad that we’ve moved far from being a people that revere or even respect our nation. Civil War is a grim warning of what happens if we don’t pump the breaks and end this tribalism.
Civil War, 2024 - ★★★★
It wasn’t perfect, but I’m glad movies like this are getting made.
YellowBrickRoad, 2010 - ★★½
I wish being an actor was a prerequisite for being in a movie. I was pretty disappointed with this.
Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, 2018 - ★★
I get it, endings are hard. I enjoyed the ride so much and it could have been amazing! Spend the time, write drafts. Listen to feedback.The Bohemian Grove references are incredible but it could have ended better. Worth the watch for sure.

I’m conflicted. It’s simultaneously too long and not long enough to provide a satisfying ending. I did enjoy the ride though.

Halloween, 1978 - ★★★
The trailers did this movie dirty. Far more heart and intrigue than i expected.
Five Nights at Freddy's, 2023 - ★★★
Dull, antiseptic and pointless. There’s no dread, really nothing scary except the fact that they spent so much money to make this movie.
