Project Hail Mary (Movie)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 12:37:00 -0400

I went with the family to see Project Hail Mary on Thursday night.

I had read the book a few years ago and even wrote a blog post about it—it was actually the first post on this site.

The movie was perfectly cast and a blast to watch. It was much funnier than I expected, maybe even more so than the book, which lightened the tone of a story that’s actually quite dark when you think about it (end of the world and all).

My family loved it as well; my daughter even said Rocky was “adorable.”

I’m looking forward to watching it again.

Gladiator II, 2024 - ★★★★

🍿 Gladiator 2 was a pretty good movie. Nothing unexpected. It was well done. Not quite as good as the first.

Red One, 2024 - ★★★★

I enjoyed this movie better than I thought I would. It was a good holiday action film. Very creative and entertaining.

🍿 Rewatched Fury Road last night with my daughter and wife. They seemed blown away by how crazy the movie is. It was fun to watch.

The Fall Guy, 2024 - ★★★★★

Sun, 05 May 2024 19:46:32 -0400

🍿 A fun action-comedy that pays tribute to stunt doubles.

Arglle, 2024 - ★★★★

Sun, 05 May 2024 09:24:24 -0400

🍿Argylle is a fun action comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it easier to enjoy the over-the-top action.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, 2022- ★★

🍿 Unfortunately, the theater we happened to be at was tiny with bad sound which deteriorated the best parts of the movie, the monster fights.

If I felt, I could suffer through the dumb plot again I would see it again in a good theater. Not likely.

Dune: Part Two, 2024 - ★★★★★

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:35:09 -0400

🍿 A great sci-fi classic. I still don’t know who’s who half the time or what’s going on but still a wonderful experience.

Five Nights at Freddy’s, 2023 - ★★★★

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 20:09:48 -0400
