| Movie | Year | Watch Date | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stargate SG-1 S04E01 Small Victories | 2000 | 2026-07-28 03:44:39+00:00 | 2.0 | Glad they wrapped this up, didn't want a whole season of The Replicators. Not sure about the Teal'c Soulpatch either. |
| Usual Suspects, The | 1995 | 2026-07-26 | 3.5 | Lost more charm with age than I was expecting. Though it was interesting to run across Pete Postlethwaite at the exact same time that Possalthwaite came up in my life. |
| Stargate SG-1 S03E22 Nemesis | 2000 | 2026-07-23 | 3.0 | |
| California Typewriter | 2016 | 2026-07-22 | 3.0 | In general I found it inspiring to start using my typewriter a little more. It does the one thing that I hate and that is people commenting on computer technology without really understanding computer technology in a meaningful way. There's a sort of "typewriter vs. computers" narrative when in reality the thing they hate is what venture capital has done to computer technology. I know to some this can seem like a distinction without a difference but these same people would have been bemoaining what typewriters did to hand-writing a hundred years ago. |
| Stargate SG-1 S03E21 Crystal Skull | 2000 | 2026-07-21 21:26:19-07:00 | 3.0 | |
| Stargate SG-1 S03E20 Maternal Instinct | 2000 | 2026-07-21 04:24:00+00:00 | 2.0 | |
| Dish, The | 2000 | 2026-07-19 21:20:31-07:00 | 3.0 | Ran across this looking through Sam Neill's filmogrophy when he recently and saw that "It was the top-grossing Australian film in 2000" so thought I'd give it a go. |
| Obsession | 2005 | 2026-07-18 | 4.0 | I had a good time. Did a good job of holding the suspense by reaaaally pushing the line until it finally crossed it (you'll know the scene) at which point it moved quickly to a satisfying conclusion. Not where I thought it would go which was for the best. |
| Nightwatch | 1997 | 2026-07-17 | 2.0 | This one was a download-mixup when I meant to watch Obsession (I swear something is keeping me from watching that movie). The opening scene was in-line-enough with what I knew about Obsession (which I had kept minimal) so it wasn't quite what I was expecting but close enough that I didn't immediately suspect a problem. I got past "I didn't know Ewan McGregor was in this..." and to "Josh Brolin? Nick Nolte? there's no way" and then the title card hit. I stuck around because the cast was interesting but the movie itself fell flat. I suspected studio-fuck-up which I confirmed afterwards. |
| Body Melt | 1993 | 2026-07-12 | 3.5 |
Rented: 2026-07-12, Due: 2026-07-15, Returned: 2026-07-14 This was in the Employee Picks at Movie Madness and both the cover and title caught my eye. The plot meandered a bit but I'm such a sucker for practical effects and body horror. |

| Millennium Day | 1995 | [Added: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:25:05 +0000] Stumbled across this while searching for something else and mispelled "Millenium". Thought I'd check it out and...this movie is impossible to find. Can't find it to download anywhere. Certainly not streaming anywhere. Can't find a copy to buy anywhere and, in fact, there's not a record of it ever being posted for sale on any platform before. Even the folks at Movie Madness couldn't find it. It doesn't look good by any means but the difficulty in finding it has made it a sort of White Whale for me. | ||
| Nightwatch | 1994 | [Added: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:26:53 +0000] Since the American version was a bit of a bomb I wanted to see the original Danish version. | ||
| Exotica | 1994 | [Added: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:27:13 +0000] Has been on my radar for a while but recently a friend watched it and rated it highly (for them) and I also recently watched California Typewriter which starred Sam Shepard and in his Wikipedia entry, which I read afterwards, saw that he had dated Mia Kirshner and this was too much of a coincidence so it is officially on The List now. | ||
| 30 Days of Night | 2007 | [Added: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:27:32 +0000] Ran into a dude when on an evening walk who was walking his dog. We stopped and talked for quite a while and he mentioned this movie as a movie he saw recently that he quite enjoyed and maybe (this was a couple months ago now) said it was one of his favorites it the Zombie genre. | ||
| Chungking Express | 1994 | [Added: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:16:15 +0000] Ran across a mention of this and decided to give it a go. | ||
| A Confucian Confusion | 1994 | [Added: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:16:41 +0000] Similar to above, will give it a whirl | ||
| Mahjong | 1996 | [Added: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:17:09 +0000] and again, will give it a try | ||
