124) THE AI DOC: OR
HOW I BECAME AN APOCALOPTIMIST
(2026 dir. Roher/Tyrell) Date Seen: March 25 2026
I think the cautious optimism these filmmakers frequently loop back to will look like folly in time. But I'd be lying if I said this wasn't decent food for thought for a lot of its run

I really dug this once it became an E.T. friendship movie about communication. "Rocky" was a mensch

116) THE POUT-POUT FISH
(2026 dir. Ricard Cussó) Date Seen: March 20 2026
My wife says this is based on a cute illustrated book, so I was surprised I disliked it as much as I did. I doubt the illustrations in the kids book make all the characters look like they're from the kidney-bean head school of generic design though. This movie put my inner child to sleep. Thankfully not the euthanasia kind of sleep; Just the drowsy bored kind. Cinematically it only plays a little bit better than those two THE REEF slops.
(Which i'm convinced only exist to have playing in the background of a dentist waiting room on mute)

114) HOPPERS
(2026 dir. Daniel Chong) Date Seen: March 18 2026
If i'm keeping things 100, this is basically OVER THE HEDGE '06 with a fancy coat of Pixar gobbledygook (+
 the same shambolic bothsidesism tropes). Some cool ideas & fun moments thumping into loads of annoying. YMMV.
