I categorize my movie rankings into three groups: Off the chain, boring, and sucks. For instance, last year's winner, Anora, was off the chain. On the other hand, Oppenheimer, from the year before, sucks. I haven’t been to a movie theater more than once or twice in the past five years, but I still keep an eye out for good movies.

Here are my thoughts on the Oscar nominees for Best Picture:

Bugonia – I haven’t seen it and don’t know anything about it, but I’ll watch it

F1 – boring

Frankenstein – boring / sucks

Hamnet – I’m not sure I want to watch it

Marty Supreme – it’s good, but it feels like a copycat of Uncut Gems style and I believe Uncut Gems does it better

One Battle After Another – boring

Sentimental Value – I haven’t seen it and don’t know anything about it, but I’ll watch it

Sinners – sucks

The Secret Agent – I haven’t seen it and don’t know anything about it, but I’ll watch it

Train Dreams – this is the one I would choose as the winner.

Another good movie that wasn’t nominated: Blue Moon

Frankenstein was good and probably the best retelling of the source material ever with great visuals and cinematography. Could’ve been shorter though.

It felt like an adult animated version of Frankenstein or maybe I’m getting Frankenstein and Nosferatu mixed up. Either way you have to make a masterpiece for those movies to work and they didn’t have it

I’ve heard rumors of a board dedicated solely to these type of topics.

I've watched more movies this year on this list that I usually do

I've seen

Bugonia
F1
Marty Supreme
One Battle After Another
Sinners

I don't get the hype for One Battle After Another unless it's just the king of poop mountain. I really like F1 but I don't think it would win, was a great plane movie though(thanks Delta). Marty Supreme was the only one I have a desire to see again one day
