A league that hits hard in both performance and passion: it’s the home ground that nurtured some of the biggest stars of the twice-Euro-winning Lionesses. It is known for deep rivalries, nail-biting matches, and some of the largest and most ardent fanbases in the game.</p><p class="bb_paragraph">With upcoming expansion and increasing investment, this league offers managers a high-profile, high-stakes landscape within which to test their skills. It's time to step into the dugout and explore new horizons.</p><p class="bb_paragraph">To read the full story and more, visit <a class="bb_link" href="https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.footballmanager.com%2Fthe-dugout%2Fhow-manage-barclays-womens-super-league-fm26" rel=" noopener" target="_blank">The Dugout</a>. </p>;<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Every year, I go to the movie theater as much as possible. It's my favorite place in the world. I first started keeping track/scores/reviews/ticket stubs in 2015. Since then, I've seen 1,827 different movies in theaters: 5 in 2015, 9 in 2016, 146 in 2017, 162 in 2018, 192 in 2019, 44 in 2020, 86 in 2021, 270 in 2022, 325 in 2023, 298 in 2024, and 290 this year.</p> <p>For this ranking, I'm only counting movies I saw in theaters, nothing that I watched at home. I'm not counting re-watches. I don't have a specific scoring system, it's just a rating I give to the movie right after watching. I've included a few re-releases, short films, and TV series, as long as they were seen in a theater (and for the first time). This is all just for fun and not meant to be taken super seriously, I'm not a professional movie critic. I just like going to the movies.</p> <p>I attended 9 film festivals in 2025 for a total of 124 movies. 97 movies had cast and/or crew in attendance for Q&amp;As. There were 26 World Premieres, 11 North American Premieres, 11 Canadian Premieres, 11 East Coast Premieres, 17 Southeast Premieres, 20 Florida/Georgia/Orlando/US/Tampa/South Florida/International Premieres:</p> <ul> <li>Toronto International Film Festival - 29 Movies in 7 Days</li> <li>SCAD Savannah Film Festival - 29 Movies in 8 Days</li> <li>Fantasia Film Festival - 18 Movies in 6 Days</li> <li>Florida Film Festival - 13 Movies in 5 Days</li> <li>Miami Film Festival - 11 Movies in 5 Days</li> <li>Popcorn Frights Film Festival - 11 Movies in 8 Days</li> <li>Gasparilla International Film Festival - 6 Movies in 3 Days</li> <li>Miami Jewish Film Festival - 5 Movies in 3 Days</li> <li>Rendez-Vous Cinema Quebec - 2 Movies in 2 Days</li> </ul> <p>There were 11 movies that I re-watched in theaters:</p> <ul> <li><strong>One Battle After Another</strong> - x7</li> <li><strong>Hamnet</strong> - x3</li> <li><strong>Nouvelle Vague</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>Sinners</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>If I Had Legs I'd Kick You</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>The Testament of Ann Lee</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>Highest 2 Lowest</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>The Life of Chuck</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>Him</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>Twinless</strong> - x2</li> <li><strong>Sentimental Value</strong> - x2</li> </ul> <p>I have AMC's A-List, Regal's Unlimited, Cinemark's MovieClub, as well as memberships to the Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Toronto film societies.</p> <p>I saw 290 movies in theaters in 2025. Here is my full ranking:</p> <hr /> <ul> <li><strong>The Testament of Ann Lee</strong> - 10/10 - It's a sprawling, intoxicating, and beautiful historical-epic with some of the best dance-sequence choreography I've ever seen on film. All of the performances are perfect, the songs/prayers are all memorable, the narration grabs you from the first second and never lets go, and it's got the most confident directing of the year. I wanted 5 more hours of Mother Ann's story. In a fair world, Amanda Seyfried is the runaway Best Actress Oscar winner. This'll go down as one of the best period-dramas of the 21st century. There's one or two masterpieces per year, <em>Ann Lee</em> a no-doubter for one of those spots.</li> <li><strong>One Battle After Another</strong> - 10/10 - Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction.<br /></li> <li><strong>Marty Supreme</strong> - 10/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Perfect Neighbor</strong> - 9/10 - I've not cried in a movie theater this much since <em>Moonlight</em>. It's the kind of movie that will make your blood boil and will make you melt to your seat by the end. The bodycam footage where the dad has to tell his two sons that their mother isn't coming home is something that will leave a scar on your heart forever. It's also very impressive on a technical level, the best documentary editing since <em>Apollo 11</em> in 2019. I can't imagine all of the work that went into piecing this thing together. </li> <li><strong>Sinners</strong> - 9/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Brokeback Mountain</strong> (Re-Release) - 9/10 - I'm a bit late to the party here, this 20th anniversary theatrical-release was the first time I've seen this movie, and goddamn was it worth the wait. One of the most powerful love stories ever shot. It's the ultimate &quot;what could've been&quot; love story. Heath's performance is generational. I'm now a card-carrying member of the <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> Was Robbed for Best Picture by <em>Crash</em> Society™.<br /></li> <li><strong>Warfare</strong> - 9/10 - You can't talk about <em>Warfare</em> without first shouting out the insanely-great sound design. You could watch this movie with your eyes closed and still be impressed. An impossibly-tense war movie that makes 95 minutes feel like 10 minutes. It's really this generation's <em>Black Hawk Down</em> (huge compliment). It's a lot more grounded and believable though, with an outstanding ensemble cast. I love that nobody is a supersoldier in this, just guys in a bad spot in a bad point in time. It doesn't glorify but it also doesn't minimize. This movie will stand the test of time as one of the best war films of the decade. This thing was custom-built in a movie-lab just for me.</li> <li><strong>Sorry, Baby</strong> - 9/10 - Eva Victor is 2025's major revelation. This movie is heartbreaking, hilarious, bittersweet, and soul-warming. It's probably the best Original Screenplay of the year too. This made me realize how much I really missed Lucas Hedges. So cool to see him pop up again. </li> <li><strong>Bugonia</strong> - 9/10 - Yorgos doesn't miss.<br /></li> <li><strong>Hamnet</strong>- 9/10 - An all-time child-actor performance from Jacobi Jupe. This movie is equally soul-crushing and hopeful. Jessie Buckley's close-up when Hamnet <span class="md-spoiler-text">dies</span> is pound-for-pound the best single scene of the year.<br /></li> <li><strong>F1</strong> - 9/10 - As far as fun-summer-blockbuster movies go, <em>F1</em> is as good as it gets. It's this year's <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>. Was it cliche? Yes. Was it predictable? Yes. Did I have a fucking blast for 2 hours? Also, yes. Keep pumping these out, Apple.</li> <li><strong>The Phoenician Scheme</strong> - 9/10 - <em>Asteroid City</em> &amp; <em>The French Dispatch</em> were slight missteps, but Wes Anderson is officially back. This movie overflows with heart &amp; laughs. (with 10/10 production/set design as usual)<br /></li> <li><strong>Sacrifice</strong> - 9/10 - Anya Taylor-Joy was born to play an Icelandic eco-terrorist and Chris Evans was born to play the narcissitic, A-List actor in a rut suddenty thrust back into the limelight. Gorgeously shot, laugh-a-minute first act. I had a really great time with this one, it reminded me a lot of <em>Don't Look Up</em>. Very surprised everyone hates it.</li> <li><strong>The Smashing Machine</strong> - 9/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Magazine Dreams</strong> - 8/10 - Jonathan Majors comes in with maybe one of the most physically-demanding performances of all time. Without the real-life drama, this might've been an Oscar-winning role for him. Great movie.<br /></li> <li><strong>Highest 2 Lowest</strong> - 8/10 - If it wasn't for an extremely uneven first act and some classic weird Spike quirks in there, like insane transitions and some &quot;how do you do, fellow kids?&quot; moments , this would be one of the best movies of the year. It's still really really great, and the insane score kind of grows on you as it goes. Denzel is at the top of his game. My favorite Original Song of the year at the end.<br /></li> <li><strong>Train Dreams</strong> - 8/10 - It takes a while to grow on you. It might take an hour, it might take 5 days, but it'll eventually hit you like a....train (sorry). It's a beautiful slow burn about appreciating life's fleeting and rare moments of joy. The world keeps going on without you, and that's okay. It's extremely reflective and existential. Beautiful stuff. It did what <em>A Ghost Story</em> did for me a few years ago.<br /></li> <li><strong>Presence</strong> - 8/10 - Lucy Liu. No notes.<br /></li> <li><strong>It Was Just An Accident</strong> - 8/10 - A lot more humor than I expected. The most impressive longshot of the year with that interrogation scene near the end. Mariam Afshari deserves more attention. And holy fuck does that pin-drop ending hit. There's a few ways you can interpret the ending too which is really cool.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Threesome</strong> - 8/10 </li> <li><strong>Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie</strong> - 8/10 - If you like satirical comedies (like <em>Borat</em>), just do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll laugh more in the first 30 minutes than in any movie of the past 5 years.<br /></li> <li><strong>I'm Still Here</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Black Bag</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Nouvelle Vague</strong> - 8/10 - A fun, sweet, breezy, delicate ode to the French New Wave. A movie for movie nerds. Zoey Deutch is a delight and Guillaume Marbeck is one of the year's breakout actors.<br /></li> <li><strong>Left-Handed Girl</strong> - 8/10 - A beautiful slice-of-life family drama that’s right up my alley. Wonderful performances from the 2 young leads (their first major roles) and possibly the catchiest theme track of the year. All fans of Sean Baker should check this one out. Nina Ye killed it at the Q&amp;A.<br /></li> <li><strong>Splitsville</strong> - 8/10 - Hilarious, sharp, sexy. One of the better recent romantic-comedies (big emphasis on comedy). I laughed more during the first fight sequence than probably any other single scene this year. Advice for any shlubby screenwriters out there: co-writing a sharp, funny screenplay where your romantic interestes are 10/10s like Dakota and Adria is a good move. </li> <li><strong>It Ends</strong> - 8/10 - Sometimes you're lucky enough to catch a great movie from a first-time director and you know they'll blow up soon. This is that movie for 2025.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Count of Monte Cristo</strong> - 8/10 - You don't get these types of epics much anymore. Really well made and crafted. It's the best Monte Cristo has ever looked on screen.<br /></li> <li><strong>Oh, Hi!</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Sacramento</strong> - 8/10 - Michael Cera, how I've missed you.<br /></li> <li><strong>Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Is This Thing On?</strong> - 8/10 - Career-best stuff from Will Arnett. If only Laura Dern's character wasn't so poorly-written and shitty. Great, improv-like scenes in the comedy club.</li> <li><strong>Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery</strong> 8/10 - Doesn't quite reach the peak of the first one, but it's a step up from the 2nd. It's a lot more personal and dark than the other 2, which I really liked, and it keeps the (sometimes-outdated) humor.</li> <li><strong>Fucktoys</strong> - 8/10 - It's <em>Anora</em> on mushrooms. It's weird, it's gross, it's got a ton of sex and some violence. It's kind of a modern nasty fairy tale. It's everything you want. Would recommend. Annapurna Sriram is a major talent to watch out for. </li> <li><strong>Urchin</strong> - 8/10 - Part Safdie, part Glazer, part Leigh. A really confident and impressive debut film from Harris Dickinson. Harry Dillane is magnetic.<br /></li> <li><strong>Eternity</strong> - 8/10</li> <li><strong>Predator: Badlands</strong> - 8/10 </li> <li><strong>A Quiet Place</strong> w/ Live Commentary (Re-Release) - 8/10 - This was the first &quot;live commentary&quot; screening I've ever attended. It was with co-writers Scott Beck &amp; Bryan Woods (who also co-directed <em>Heretic</em>), moderated by Josh Malerman (who wrote <em>Bird Box</em>). A very fun screening, very insightful and amusing. Think Mystery Science Theater 3000, but for an actually-good movie. </li> <li><strong>Final Destination: Bloodlines</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Companion</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>No Other Land</strong> - 8/10 - Incredible achievement in documentary filmmaking. almost unfurls like a narrative drama. The only documentary other than <em>20 Days In Mariupol</em> that's made me want to look away. It's really impressive how angry it makes you but also weaves in beautiful little funny moments of humanity that bring you back down to earth. You would think that &quot;pouring cement down village water wells&quot; was a cartoonish movie-villain move that would never actually happen in real life, but nope, it happens.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Girl with the Needle</strong> - 8/10 - Sometimes you just need a Cristian Mungiu-like hit of depression. This filled that hole.</li> <li><strong>28 Years Later</strong> - 8/10 </li> <li><strong>The Long Walk</strong> - 8/10 - Not shying away from the brutality/violence is this movie's biggest strength. David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman are perfect together. It's a very unique post-apocalyptic film, a different feel from the usual YA slop. Mark Hamill is very goofy and bad though. Rough casting there. </li> <li><strong>Sentimental Value</strong> - 8/10 - This was a lot better on 2nd watch. In her limited screentime, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas puts in the best supporting performance of the year. She is the heart &amp; soul of this movie. Truly heartbreaking stuff when Renate reads her the monologue at the table.</li> <li><strong>The History of Sound</strong> - 8/10 - Shoutout to this movie for introducing me to Silver Dagger, probably the greatest folk song ever. I've had different covers of it playing on repeat since the minute I left the theater. Paul Mescal was amazing in his rendition. Beautiful, <em>Brokeback Mountain</em>-like love story about what could've been and regrets.<br /></li> <li><strong>A House of Dynamite</strong> - 8/10 - It's only fair to score this by act: First Act: 10/10 - Movie-of-the-year potential. Thrilling and engaging. I wanted to cry everytime Rebecca Ferguson was on screen. Second Act: 8/10: The greatest TV pilot episode you've ever seen. Greta Lee keeps getting done dirty though. Third Act: 3/10 - What a fumble nooooooooo Kathryn noooooooo.<br /></li> <li><strong>My Mom Jayne</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Sirat</strong> - 8/10 - Sound design that will have your clothes shaking during the rave sequences and have you jump during the (extremely) unexpected death scene(s). A great (but extremely bleak) odyssey through the desert set against the backdrop of the world falling apart. Good shit.<br /></li> <li><strong>She Dances</strong> - 8/10 - Whenever Steve and Audrey Zahn are on-screen together, the scenes burst with authenticity and genuineness. The script is sweet, funny when it needs to be, and sometimes brings out a few tears. Really great little family-drama.<br /></li> <li><strong>Hamilton</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Bring Her Back</strong> - 8/10 - Danny and Michael Philippou should be thrown in fucking jail for that scene of the kid chewing on the knife. </li> <li><strong>Sovereign</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Weapons</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair</strong> - 8/10 - Confession: I had only seen bits and pieces of both <em>Kill Bill</em> movies prior to this. I had an abolute blast. The 2nd half doesn't quite live up to the first though.<br /></li> <li><strong>Avatar: Fire and Ash</strong> - 8/10 - Oona Chaplin awoke something in me. i'm now a Varangsexual.<br /></li> <li><strong>Mile End Kicks</strong> - 8/10 - Chandler Levack is Canada’s brightest up and coming filmmaker since Xavier Dolan. Pls keep her on your radar. Now she needs to make a movie without an annoyingly-unlikeable lead.<br /></li> <li><strong>Nuremberg</strong> - 8/10 - Your dad's pick for Best Picture. I had really low expectations, a 2.5-hour WW2 courtroom drama sounds like Oscar-bait 20 years too late, but a really tight script and perfect pacing kept me thoroughly engaged. It's also the best Russell Crowe performance since...<em>Gladiator</em>? Good stuff. I'm back on the WW2 movie train. Leo Woodall knocks it out of the pack with his monologue too. Out of nowhere.</li> <li><strong>The Naked Gun</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Twinless</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Rebuilding</strong> - 8/10 - Lowkey family-drama set in the aftermath of a fire that destroys a man's family ranch. Josh O'Connor is outstanding as usual. </li> <li><strong>Eric LaRue</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Life of Chuck</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Frankenstein</strong> - 8/10 - It's undoubtedly technically impressive, probably deserves Oscar nominations in most tech categories. The cast and crew is stacked, and it's solid, but there's a major thing keeping it from being truly great/top 25 of the year: an interesting story. It's really good but classic GDT style-over-substance like <em>Crimson Peak</em>.<br /></li> <li><strong>Megadoc</strong> - 8/10 - Almost makes up for the actual movie. Almost. The Francis/Shia and Aubrey/Dustin dynamics were really fascinating to watch. Really great doc about the chaos of filmmaking. It's a shame Adam Driver and Nathalie Emmanuel didn't want to be filmed for it, but I can't say I blame them.<br /></li> <li><strong>Jay Kelly</strong> - 8/10</li> <li><strong>Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere</strong> - 8/10 - Everyone else is wrong, this thing was good. Atlantic City forever.</li> <li><strong>Rosemary's Baby</strong> (Re-Release) - 8/10</li> <li><strong>Hurry Up Tomorrow</strong>- 8/10 - Maybe throw me in jail for this but I thought this thing rocked? Part <em>Vox Lux</em>, part <em>Misery</em>, part <em>Good Time</em>. Jenna Ortega absolutely smashes it (wish the whole movie was from her POV tbh) and Keoghan/Abel are pretty solid as well. If you can look over the self indulgence (which is kinda the point) and a bad 5-minute sequence near the end, this is a banger. The score and camework alone make it watchable. Trey Edward Shults fan until the day I die.<br /></li> <li><strong>Together</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Americana</strong> - 8/10 - It does jump the shark a bit near the end when like 45 people die and it becomes a bit unbelievable, but it's a fun Tarantino-like crime story and Sidney Sweeney/Paul Walter Hauser are great together.<br /></li> <li><strong>It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley</strong> - 8/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Fantastic Four: First Steps</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Damned</strong> - 7/10 - Claustrophobic period-pieces are my shit. An overlooked January-dump movie that deserves more praise. </li> <li><strong>The Ballad of Wallis Island</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>She Rides Shotgun</strong> - 7/10</li> <li><strong>Christy</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Roofman</strong> 7/10 - A perfectly-solid action-crime-comedy with a stellar Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst. This would've made $200M domestic 20 years ago. It doesn't have the usual emotional devastation that you'd expect from a Derek Cianfrance film, but that's fine.<br /></li> <li><strong>Thunderbolts</strong> - 7/10 - Like most people, I'm kinda &quot;over&quot; the Marvel formula, and in general this was a bit more of the same, but Pugh and Harbour commit really hard and keep it very engaging and just-different-enough. It's one of the better recent MCU efforts. I liked Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a Veep-adjacent role. </li> <li><strong>Materialists</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Dead Man's Wire</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Rental Family</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Sisu: Road to Revenge</strong> - 7/10 - A nice improvement over the first one, rare for a sequel. Some really impressive kills.</li> <li><strong>Mickey 17</strong> - 7/10</li> <li><strong>Shin Godzilla</strong> (Re-Release) - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The School Duel</strong> - 7/10</li> <li><strong>Eephus</strong> - 7/10 - A local beer league baseball team plays their final game at the local park. Makes you feel nice and fuzzy and warm.<br /></li> <li><strong>Dangerous Animals</strong> - 7/10 - Some actors are born for a certain role. Jai Courtney is that actor in this movie.<br /></li> <li><strong>Ballerina</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Vermiglio</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Violent Ends</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Good Fortune</strong> - 7/10 - There are some glaring flaws (like Aziz's acting &amp; delivery), but it does a lot of things very well and has a sweet enough ending to keep this pretty good. Keanu's character is a highlight and has a ton of great lines (&quot;I used to be a celestial being and now I'm a chainsmoker&quot;, etc) </li> <li><strong>Secret Mall Apartment</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Blue Moon</strong> - 7/10 - Ethan Hawke is outstanding and basically shows off and runs circles around everybody for 100 minutes, but chamber pieces just aren’t reaching “great” level for me recently. </li> <li><strong>Wicked: For Good</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Surfer</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Eleanor the Great</strong> - 7/10 - Pure boomer catnip. Your grandma's favorite movie of 2025. June Squibb is a national treasure. Protect her at all costs.<br /></li> <li><strong>Blue Heron</strong> - 7/10 - </li> <li><strong>An Officer and a Spy</strong> - 7/10 - Polanski still has a bit of juice. Nobody is doing courtroom-dramas like the French recently.<br /></li> <li><strong>California Schemin'</strong> - 7/10 - It gets a bit repetitive but it's a solid directorial debut effort from James McAvoy.<br /></li> <li><strong>A Big Bold Beautiful Journey</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Villes Jacques-Carton</strong> - 7/10 - Quebec represent. (weak year for Quebec cinema I'll admit) </li> <li><strong>Normal</strong> - 7/10 - If you like John Wick and John Wick-like clone films, you’ll like this. Lots of fun kills. Lots of blood. Good popcorn flick. Not breaking any new ground though.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Ballad of a Small Player</strong> - 7/10 - Macau is a sick setting for a film, and I really dug the first hour, a degenerate gambler just digging his own grave, and the score from Volker Bertelmann is a standout of the year, but it loses its way a bit when he <span class="md-spoiler-text">dies</span> (or maybe he doesn't? who knows). Also, more Fala Chen please.<br /></li> <li><strong>Jurassic World: Rebirth</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Superman</strong> - 7/10 - There's some funny lines, solid needledrops, and Rachel Brosnahan is great as usual, but it's not enough to make it really pop. Solid movie, another decent entry in the comic book movie category, but it doesn't reinvigorate my enthusiasm for the genre as a whole like I'd hoped it would. </li> <li><strong>Tatami</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>One of Them Days</strong> - 7/10 - Katt Williams being the highlight of a movie in the year of our lord 2025 was not on my bingo card. We need more crowd-pleasing comedies like this in theaters. </li> <li><strong>The Seed of the Sacred Fig</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Fackham Hall</strong> - 7/10 - The <em>Trainspotting</em> poster bit was so good. Non-stop bits and easter eggs, a fun time. </li> <li><strong>The Wizard of the Kremlin</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Caught Stealing</strong> - 7/10 - Zoë Kravitz is gone far too soon.</li> <li><strong>I Love LA</strong> (TV Series) - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Fight or Flight</strong> - 7/10 - It sequel-baits a bit too hard and the tech-villains are way too cartoony, but some solid kills, great lines/editing, and Josh Hartnett fully committing to the alcoholic, down-on-his-luck assassin bit really keeps it entertaining enough.<br /></li> <li><strong>Jane Austen Wrecked My Life</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Sisters</strong> - 7/10</li> <li><strong>Parthenope</strong> - 7/10 - It's a gorgeous-looking movie, I could stare at Celeste Dalla Porta for 10 more hours, and I'm a big Paolo Sorrentino fan but this feels a bit more style-over-substance than his usual output.</li> <li><strong>The Monkey</strong> - 7/10</li> <li><strong>The Luckiest Man in America</strong> - 7/10 - When an indie budget is stretched to the limit and puts out a good movie.<br /></li> <li><strong>Terrestrial</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Two Women</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Sharp Corner</strong> - 7/10 - I watched this dubbed in French so the performances definitely took a hit, but it was a pretty biting look at the pressures of the workplace and family leading to a man's downward spiral. Ben Foster is always solid (even when he's dubbed in French-Canadian).<br /></li> <li><strong>Sweetness</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues</strong> - 7/10 - I have still not seen the original, but this was good enough as a standalone. The final performance scene leaves a bit to be desired, but there's enough humorous dialogue to keep it chugging along (&quot;in the daytime, ghosts are just rumors&quot; is my personal favorite&quot;. </li> <li><strong>Almost Popular</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>My Dead Friend Zoe</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>I Am Frankelda</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Amateur</strong> - 7/10 - It's basically Bourne-lite, but they don't make these globe-trotting spy movies enough anymore. I enjoyed it. Torture-by-pollen was a wild move though.<br /></li> <li><strong>On Swift Horses</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>Merrily We Roll Along</strong> - 7/10 - As far as theatrical pro-shots go, it's below <em>Waitress</em> &amp; <em>Hamilton</em>. At first the constant cuts are a bit annoying/nauseating, but it works itself out. Radcliffe has one really amazing/impressive song number (during the TV interview), Groff is outstanding throughout. Was not a fan of Lindsay Mendez at all. I wanted a bit more emotionally from the whole thing. The theme song is amazing. </li> <li><strong>Heart Eyes</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>No Other Choice</strong> - 7/10 - good but kinda very long, innit?</li> <li><strong>Freaky Tales</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>The Wedding Banquet</strong> - 7/10 - Fun little rom-com brought down a bit by rough acting and awkward line/joke delivery from Bowen Yang and the Korean guy. Lily and Kelly carried them big time. Loved the “we have to de-gay the house!!!” bit. Great ending too. (never saw the original)<br /></li> <li><strong>Freakier Friday</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Rust</strong> - 7/10 </li> <li><strong>The Ugly Stepsister</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Come Closer</strong> - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>La Grazia</strong> 7/10 - Location scouts for Sorrentino movies need special recognition.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Accountant 2</strong> - 7/10 - The story is a bit overcooked (the X-Men-like school for autistic super-hackers is a crazy turn for this movie to take) and it gets a bit too <em>Sound of Freedom</em>-y, but the Affleck/Bernthal scenes together keep it from falling apart completely. </li> <li><strong>Rise</strong> (Short Film) - 7/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Tornado</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Inheritance</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Housemaid</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Anemone</strong> - 6/10 - [Sean Bean stares in amazement at DDL's performance] x10. There's a few good lines (&quot;god doesn't need undies, cause he's not full of shit like you are&quot;, &quot;the explosion was so loud you couldn't hear it&quot;), two amazing DDL monologues, and it looks amazing, but feels kind of empty as a whole. Definitely something missing.<br /></li> <li><strong>Spider &amp; Jessie</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Orwell: 2+2=5</strong> - 6/10 - Some sequences are truly must-see pieces of documentary filmmaking (like the grilling of the ghoulish tech billionaire fucks and the January 6th bits) but then others are so truly scattered and shoehorned that it disconnects you from the message of the movie. 9/10 potential here if it could get out of its own way.<br /></li> <li><strong>Don't Let's Go to The Dogs Tonight</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Charlie Harper</strong> - 6/10 - A cute story about a highschool sweetheart couple (an aspiring chef and an underachieving alcoholic, classic) that’s shot really great and acted well (othet than the non-existent drunk acting from a supposed alcoholic) but ultimately burdened by a mountain of cliches.<br /></li> <li><strong>Song Sung Blue</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Toxic Avenger</strong> 6/10 - A Troma film should have more nudity. Let's bring nudity back. Put me down for more nudity.</li> <li><strong>Tron: Ares</strong> - 6/10 </li> <li><strong>If I Had Legs I'd Kick You</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Anaconda</strong> - 6/10 - One day soon I'll be tired and over and the ironic, meta, big-studio-movie, but today is not one of those days. I had a decent time with this. A <em>The Legend of Bagger Vance</em> reference in 2025 deserves some respect.</li> <li><strong>Death Does Not Exist</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>40 Acres</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Locked</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Paddington in Peru</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Clown In A Cornfield</strong> - 6/10 </li> <li><strong>Captain America: Brave New World</strong> - 6/10 - Adding this to the never-ending list of good-but-forgettable comic book movies. The genre is stale as hell.</li> <li><strong>Wolf Man</strong> - 6/10 - Really liked the POV switches, sound design, and creature design, but the rest is by-the-numbers horror flick.<br /></li> <li><strong>Drop</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Blood for Dracula</strong> (Re-Release) - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Taylor Swift - The Official Release Party of a Showgirl</strong> - 6/10 - The lyric video stuff was whatever/boring/filler but I really liked the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Ophelia music video. I could’ve watched an entire doc of Taylor directing that video. Great song too. And the closing song rocked too. </li> <li><strong>Fanny</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Find Your Friends</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>All Her Fault</strong> (TV Series) - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Fairyland</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>A Nice Indian Boy</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Eddington</strong> - 6/10 - There's some interesting stuff in here, but overall kind of a mess. That's been Ari Aster's vibe recently.</li> <li><strong>A Minecraft Movie</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>To Kill A Wolf</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Keeper</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Waltzing with Brando</strong> - 6/10 - Billy Zane is super convincing as Marlon Brando. The rest is forgettable.<br /></li> <li><strong>Re-Animator</strong> (Re-Release) - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Opus</strong> - 6/10 - John Malkovich could not have been more horribly miscast. There's a good cult movie hidden in here somewhere, but Ayo by herself couldn't bring it out. Needed some more passes at rewrites.<br /></li> <li><strong>Grand Theft Hamlet</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Den of Thieves 2: Pantera</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Novocaine</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Barcelona</strong> (Re-Release) - 6/10 </li> <li><strong>The Roses</strong> - 6/10 - This was a Dollar Tree <em>Marriage Story</em>. Very tonally-uneven. Kate McKinnon is distractingly-bad. Cumberbatch and Colman work well enough together to keep it watchable but it's kinda messy.<br /></li> <li><strong>IT: Welcome to Derry</strong> (TV Series) - 6/10 </li> <li><strong>Modern Whore</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>100 Nights of Hero</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Ick</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Algiers</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Everything's Going to Be Great</strong> - 6/10 - I really wish Bryan Cranston didn't <span class="md-spoiler-text">die</span> early on in the movie. His character and charisma really kept this afloat at first. It mostly fall flats after he's gone, except a few sweet moments. Weirdly over-religious vibes to the movie. Angel Studios was probably close to landing this one.<br /></li> <li><strong>Abraham's Boys</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>I Know What You Did Last Summer</strong> - 6/10 - Worth seeing for the Nicole Kidman AMC intro reference alone.<br /></li> <li><strong>Death of a Unicorn</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>Clorofilla</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>I Don't Understand You</strong> - 6/10 </li> <li><strong>On Becoming A Guinea Fowl</strong> - 6/10 - It's hard to think of a more recent ending that's so unsatisfying. It's good until that. Fuck those last 5 minutes.<br /></li> <li><strong>Allen Sunshine</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Night of the Demons</strong> (Re-Release) - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>La Gloria</strong> - 6/10</li> <li><strong>The Legend of Ochi</strong> - 6/10 - It's a gorgeous movie and very Wes Anderson-coded, but too childish to make a real impact. If I'm honest, Helena Zengel should've just spoken German (with subtitles) instead of intelligible English. </li> <li><strong>Cleaner</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Bonjour, Tristesse</strong> - Lily McInerny is outstanding, one of my picks for &quot;breakout&quot; performances of the year, and I'm a sucker for a sun-drenched Mediterranean setting, but Chloë Sevigny is just so bad and sinks the rest of the performances.<br /></li> <li><strong>Love Machine</strong> (Short Film) - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Shrouds</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Mermaid</strong> - 6/10 - With 20-25 minutes shaved off, this could've been great. It captures some of the gross underbelly of Florida that not a lot of movies can (<em>The Florida Project</em> being the best example), but it's dragged down by bad performances and a plot that's too dragged out. I wanted it to end at least 5 times.<br /></li> <li><strong>Dog of God</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Trust</strong> - 6/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale</strong> - 5/10 - It loses a lot of the charm of the first 2 films.<br /></li> <li><strong>Dead of Winter</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Friend</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Him</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Somnium</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Hard Truths</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Borderline</strong> - 5.7 - Full disclosure: I saw this in a theater but left about halfway because I saw a big ass rat crawling through the aisle (2nd time I've ever seen one in a theater. Other time was in 2019 for <em>The Best of Enemies</em>). That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. Finished the rest at home. All that being said, Samara Weaving is good but she can only do so much to carry a weak story. </li> <li><strong>Hunting Daze</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Chronology of Water</strong>- 5/10 - A completely incomprehensible first-45-minutes (by design I guess?), but Imogen poots puts in one of the most daring &amp; brave performances in a while. A huge huge swing by Kristen Stewart for a directorial debut. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses hard.<br /></li> <li><strong><a href="http://www.rachelormont.com">www.rachelormont.com</a></strong> - 5/10 - This movie is fucking disgusting. I'm pretty sure real-life misdemeanors/felonies were actually committed during the filming (seriously). But it's just weird and funny enough (especially during the meta, audience-speaking portion) to keep you locked in. A wild ride that I wouldn't take again but that I'm happy to have taken off of the bucket list.<br /></li> <li><strong>Honey, Don't!</strong> - 5/10 - &quot;My left or your left?&quot;, &quot;We're facing the same way&quot; is one of the year's best exchanges, and there's a few of those gems, but ultimately this is one of the most disjointed movies involving A-list talent I've ever seen (looking at you, <em>Amsterdam</em>). Too much going on, some really awful performances (Charlie Day, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans). Only Margaret Qualley showed up. She rocks.<br /></li> <li><strong>Swiped</strong> - 5/10 - We have <em>The Social Network</em> at home. </li> <li><strong>Bone Lake</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Black Phone 2</strong> - 5/10 - There should be a law capping Blumhouse horrors at 95 minutes. Big drop-off from the first one. Madelaine McGraw was fantastic though. </li> <li><strong>The Woman in the Yard</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Seven Veils</strong> - 5/10 </li> <li><strong>M3gan 2.0</strong> - 5/10 - I've gotta admit that there's a lot of really solid &amp; memorable one-liners in here, but this movie really needed an R-rating and 25 minutes less of runtime.<br /></li> <li><strong>Fuze</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Now You See Me Now You Don't</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Running Man</strong> - 5/10 - Edgar no :(<br /></li> <li><strong>Ella McCay</strong> - 5/10 - There's some truly baffling stuff going on in this movie (30-year old Ema MacKey unconvincingly playing a 15-year old for a part of the movie being one of them), but I love James L. Brooks too much to give it a lower score. #EllaMcCayChallenge</li> <li><strong>Sketch</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Well</strong> - 5/10</li> <li><strong>Queens of the Dead</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Unmoored</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Last Breath</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Mr. Blake at Your Service!</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Hedda</strong> - 5/10 - Aside from the solid costume and set design (and a few moments when I was reminded of Babylon), this was a pretty nothing-movie with a confusing plot and extremely unlikeable characters. </li> <li><strong>The Virgin of Quarry Lake</strong> - 5/10 - Visually striking but much too slow.<br /></li> <li><strong>Mr. Melvin</strong> - 5/10</li> <li><strong>Armand</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Bearded Girl</strong> - 5//10<br /></li> <li><strong>Karate Kid: Legends</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Test Screening</strong> - 5/10</li> <li><strong>Sounds of Glass</strong> (Short Film) - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Invention</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Penguin Lessons</strong> - 5/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Another Simple Favor</strong> - 4/10 - This might be the most overcooked script of the year. There's just so much going on, you can't keep track of any character motivations, and it just throws in twists for the sake of twists. The original was fine, this was not good.<br /></li> <li><strong>Good Boy</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma</strong> - 4/10 </li> <li><strong>Hot Milk</strong> - 4/10 - There's something good hidden in here, but it's irritating as hell. </li> <li><strong>The Room Next Door</strong> - 4/10 - All of the bad of Almadovar (clunky dialogue, overly-melodramatic, etc), with none of the good. Boring as well<br /></li> <li><strong>Sister Midnight</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Devil’s Bride</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>After the Hunt</strong>- 4/10 - ???????????????<br /></li> <li><strong>Snow White</strong> - 4/10 - I think Rachel Zegler is great. Whenever she wasn't on screen, I didn't care. Disney live-action remakes have to start caring a lot more about what they're putting out there. The returns are diminishing big time.<br /></li> <li><strong>Of Dogs and Men</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Shelby Oaks</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Nobody 2</strong> - 4/10 - I never want to see Sharon Stone in anything ever again. Take the Oscar nomination away.<br /></li> <li><strong>Wish You Were Here</strong> - 4//10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Baltimorons</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Die My Love</strong> - 4/10 - Shoutout to John Prine.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Carpenter's Son</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Dust Bunny</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Rule of Jenny Penn</strong> - 4/10 - Painfully repetitive. Enough lens-flare-induced-blindness to probably qualify for a class action lawsuit.<br /></li> <li><strong>Flight Risk</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Anniversary</strong> - 4/10 - About as subtle as brick to the temple. Jesus christ.<br /></li> <li><strong>Ash</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Reflection in a Dead Diamond</strong> - 4/10 - Zzz...<br /></li> <li><strong>Apostasy Blues</strong> - 4/10 </li> <li><strong>The Christophers</strong> - 4/10 - A very rare Soderbergh L. Such a bore. Did not help that I couldn't understand a single word Ian McKellen was saying and that Michaela Coel was horribly miscast.<br /></li> <li><strong>The G</strong> - 4/10</li> <li><strong>Rosemead</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Teacher's Pet</strong> - 4/10 - Coming to a Tubi near you soon.</li> <li><strong>Ex-Husbands</strong> - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>The Unholy Trinity</strong> - 4/10 - Bland RedBox (RIP) fodder. Samuel L. Jackson surprisingly cares so that kept it from a rock-bottom score. </li> <li><strong>Away with the Fairies</strong> (Short Film) - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Atom &amp; Void</strong> (Short Film) - 4/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Eastern Western</strong> - 3/10 </li> <li><strong>Cujo</strong> (Re-Release) - 3/10 - Had not seen it before, and I can still tell you it hasn't aged well. Awful.<br /></li> <li><strong>High Rollers</strong> - 3/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Auction</strong> - 3/10 - There aren't many things in life more pretentious than art-related French films. </li> <li><strong>The Thing With Feathers</strong> - 3/10 - Man this was a rough watch.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Home</strong> - 3/10</li> <li><strong>Thank You, Places!</strong> - 3/10 - A valiant effort by a local theater group to shoot &amp; produce a movie during the height of COVID but I could've seen anything else and been more entertained.<br /></li> <li><strong>One Big Happy Family</strong> - 3/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Homebound</strong> - 3/10<br /></li> <li><strong>Good American Family</strong> (TV Series) - 3/10</li> <li><strong>The Story of Three Sisters</strong> (Short Film) - 3/10<br /></li> <li><strong>First Rites</strong> (Short Film) - 3/10</li> <li><strong>Love Hurts</strong> - 2/10 - If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and <em>Love Hurts</em>, I would shoot <em>Love Hurts</em> twice.<br /></li> <li><strong>Kiss of the Spider Woman</strong> - 2/10 - I really enjoyed the 12-minute sequence of Diego Luna graphically and aggressively shitting himself (3 feet away from a toilet for some reason by the way?) while the lead character wipes it all up, that was super cool and cinematic and necessary. This movie was hot ass, in more ways than one. Extremely overhyped out of Sundance, there's one every year. Deserved flop. One of the few times a year I walk out of a movie theater angry.</li> <li><strong>Nobody Wants to Shoot a Woman</strong> - 2/10 - Amateur hour. The worst <em>Goodfellas</em> rip-off you've ever seen. If you told me this was originally a Youtube short from 2008, I would believe you.<br /></li> <li><strong>The Verdict</strong> - 1/10 - The filmmakers should honestly be ashamed for submitting and screening this unfinished soap-opera-masquerading-as-a-film. The festival progammers should be ashamed for programming it and charging people for it. I should be ashamed for staying the entire 100 minutes. Shame all around, really. Nobody wins here. It’s like if a group of blind preschoolers decided to remake <em>Anatomy of a Fall</em>.<br /></li> <li><strong>Five Nights at Freddy's 2</strong> - 0/10 - I thought Netflix’s truly-apocalyptical purchase of Warner Bros was the worst thing to happen to theatrical moviegoing in a hundred years, but then I saw <em>Five Nights at Freddy’s 2</em>.<br /></li> </ul> <hr /> <p><strong>Theater Distribution by Venue/Chain:</strong></p> <ul> <li>AMC - 103</li> <li>Regal - 58 </li> <li>Cinemark - 7 </li> <li>Cineplex - 3 </li> <li>VIP - 3</li> <li>Landmark - 2 </li> <li>Silverspot - 2</li> <li>Independent/Festival/Other - 112 (Bill Cosford Cinema, Cinema Centre-Ville, Cinema du Musee, Cinema Paradiso, Classic Gateway, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Enzian Theater, Hall Theater, IFC Center, Lightbox Theater, Lucas Theater, Miami Theater Center, Movies of Delray, Olympia Theater, Princess of Wales, Roy Thomson Hall, Royal Alexandra, Salle J.A.

I, 29 F, have been married to my husband, 30 m, who I'll call Alex. Alex and I met in college during our freshman year. We started off as just friends, and got married seven months ago. I've gotten along with his family, but we aren't super close but we're friendly enough. The problem is that Alex has begun to make me incredibly uncomfortable. </p> <p>Firstly, he's begun to ask me who I'm meeting with, where, what we plan on doing, how long every single time I leave the house without him. At first, I just thought he was being protective and a good partner just in case something happened, but then he started checking my phone after the visits, vetting and researching each of my friends as well. </p> <p>He also has been pursuing me to link my bank account to his, as he's &quot;in charge&quot; of the finances when he was perfectly fine with keeping them separate before. We fight about it almost every day. </p> <p>Finally, yesterday when he was preparing to go on a work trip for two weeks in California, he demanded I wear a tracker so he could keep and eye on me while he's gone. I can't do this anymore, I feel like I'm suffocating and his family who I've spoken to about his worrying behavior just said he's being careful and protective as a good husband should. I need to gather my things together and find a way to be gone before he gets home without tipping him off. </p> <p>He's always threatened that if he ever found me cheating on him he'd turn in divorce papers the same day. He keeps a filled out copy in his desk. I'm going to submit those the day I leave. But there's so much to do, bergen finding a new place to live, seeing if my job has any transfers available, packing and moving in two weeks. His return flight May 11th, so I need to move quickly. I'm posting here because I don't have any close family, and I can't risk dragging my friends into this as we share the same friends.I just needed a place to vent, and ask if anyone has any advice on the easiest and safest way to do this? </p> <p>Edit: oh my god you guys are amazing! I never even thought to not use his divorce papers. I'll check for cameras before I start any packing or prepping. I may also shred his divorce papers just in case and look into getting a lawyer for myself. I'm in a no fault divorce state, that much I so remember which will help. I'll update again when I know more. The tracker he wants me to use is a small clip to put on the belt or waistband. I'll wear it unless I'm going or doing something related to me leaving. No pets yet thankfully.</p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/s/v6qRzYi8XD">Update</a> <strong>Apr 28, 2024</strong> </p> <p>So I've gotten a lot of support and helpful advice along with questions I thought I should clarify before I proceed with the update. Some asked why I'd be 'hiding' things from Alex regarding going out and who I'm meeting with. I don't, and I have nothing to hide. However when he begins to then double check everything I tell him with the other people there right down to each person I talked to and what I said. Did I send any text msgs, did I order food, how much did I eat, that's when it started to feel like I was slowly being pushed into a corner. It didn't start that bad, but gradually grew worse overtime. </p> <p>All of the Reddit subs my in-law's families are part of are related gardening and diy so I highly doubt they'll see this, if so by the time they do, I'll hopefully be gone. I talked to my job and explained things to my manager. And they promised to look into openings in other states to see if they could get me into one. They'll have an update on that in three days. I trust that my bank account us secured, considering he's tried to get into it before and failed. I found one camera in the kitchen, another in the living room and one in our bedroom. As such, I've left them in place for now and done all other planning, either in the bathroom pretending I'm taking a bath. </p> <p>I'm honestly staying away from the domestic violence services as my sister-in-law is unfortunately higher up in those considering she volunteers there and I have a feeling if I did show up there, they would know in a heartbeat. I can't look for apartments until I get the update from my work, but either or i'm still gonna be leaving the state. The day before I do I will be changing my number carrier and wiping my laptop and all of his electronics before I do. </p> <p>I've met with 2 lawyers so far and had them look over the paperwork. My husband had prepared and both said that it did it have some clauses in it. That could have caused me some trouble down the line. What alarmed all of us close the fact that several of those clauses dealt with future children, and not as a hypothetical. Like several hair suggested I have a feeling he fully intended on getting me pregnant to keep me trapped and tied to him. </p> <p>There are 3 other locations. My job could send me to and I have. As a precaution Begun looking into all 3 cities and housing in the areas. Just in case one of those, this is the one they send me to. Even if they don't have an opening that they can push me into then I will just have to quit, move and figure things out on my own. I have enough money to live and survive for a few months until I can pick up another job. </p> <p>Unfortunately all of our friends are mutuals and would likely be unaware of the consequences of saying or sharing anything I do or say with my husband. I don't have any surviving close family and obviously my in laws are not a good resource to rely on. I am on my own unfortunately, other than the wonderful bonds, i've begun to make here. I will update again if I get more information or something else happens. Otherwise all update when my work gets back to me. I do plan on leaving before he returns, though. Just to make sure that i'm not anywhere near here at that time. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/s/2hLOsd7Kbg">Update 2</a> <strong>Apr 30, 2024</strong> </p> <p>Good news! My work has an opening I qualify for that will not only shift me across the country, but also comes with a salary increase as well. I've started telling my in laws and friends that I'm planning a surprise outing for when my husband gets back for just the two of us. This way, people don't give me odd looks if they see me out and about. I've even gone as far as asking MIL to show me his favorite recipes. </p> <p>Meanwhile, I've found a moving company that while small is willing to work in a storm. The reason is in five days, we're supposed to get hit with a large storm front. I plan to shut off the breaker and say we lost power if he asks just as several people here suggested and even send him a short clip of the storm. </p> <p>I will have all of my stuff moved that afternoon, and I will be flying out once the weather has cleared enough to do so. I have a lawyer who will push my divorce through, and I've filled out the necessary paperwork so that I don't have to be here for it. I'm not suing for assets or alimony and I've shredded his divorce papers as well. I've set up a cheap payphone plan through cricket until this is all said and done at which point I will find a new carrier, number and phone. This one is being wiped and left behind. </p> <p>My laptop is provided by my work, and the IT department inspected it thoroughly and it was clean thankfully. No other electronic aside from my laptop and new phone will be coming with me. If alex needs to talk to me, he can do it through my lawyer. Not sure if anything else will happen, my fingers are crossed that he doesn't think anythings amiss until after I leave - and I'm not turning the breaker back on when I do. He can when he gets home. My work is covering the plane ticket, so that at least is one expense I don't have to finagle in. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/s/AXTZmkIqAB">Update 3</a> <strong>May 7, 2024</strong> </p> <p>It's been a busy week, but I've gotten so much done. Firstly, I am now out of the house and am currently in a hotel while I look for an apartment. It's a big city, bustling with people no matter where you look. We had a pretty bad storm system hit back home, that actually lasted two days. High winds, thunder, lightning and even hail everywhere. I didn't take much from the house, my documents, clothes and important sentimental items. I left all of the furniture and electronics behind. I cleaned the house top to bottom and took pictures on my phone so he couldn't claim I damaged anything when I left. </p> <p>My lawyer has already started divorce proceedings, and my husband will be served on the 8th. His plane is due to land early morning, and the sheriff will be there at the house waiting for him. He is very much about public appearances and reputation. My lawyer will be calling him as well to inform him that I am more than willing to air out everything to the public about his actions if it means securing my freedom from him. I will go to court as long as I must to get this pushed through. </p> <p>I haven't told our friends or his in-laws yet, I will do that while he is on the flight to prevent him from getting wind of it before he's handed the divorce papers. I will be calling around and explaining why we're getting divorced, to try and prevent him from twisting this into somehow being my fault. I don't want him trying to claim I had an affair or something so I want to get the truth out before he can twist this. </p> <p>I'm... doing okay. I'm tired, but yet I feel almost jittery and off-kilter. I keep looking over my shoulder and monitoring what I say even when I don't really need to anymore. Hopefully that will fade soon. My work is covering the cost of the hotel, and I'm working on getting my other things in order. I also need to find a new GP as I want to get a full test just to make sure everything is okay. I don't know when my next update will be, probably when the divorce papers are filed or if we have to go to court to push them through. I will try to keep my head up, but it feels like I'm in a whirlwind or something with so many things to do and think about. I kinda thought it would be easier once I got out of the house but while the fear is smaller, somehow the number of tasks only seems to have grown.</p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/s/F2jysvg8bc">Update 4</a> <strong>May 14, 2024</strong> </p> <p>Sorry I haven't updated for a while, things got hectic and a bit chaotic honestly. Firstly, I'm working on getting an apartment still and have applications in at three different places and will hopefully hear back from them soon. I'm still going into work here at the new location, so I don't have to worry about burning through my emergency savings completely. I've gotten a lot of emails from Alex, his family and our old friend group asking question after question. I have only sent one return email to Alex, explaining that I don't believe we are truly compatible, and it is best we separate now. That his treatment of me when I'd done nothing to deserve as such was just as much of a deal breaker as cheating was for him. </p> <p>I ended the email with the statement that I would not be contacting him further and anything else he needed to pass on to me or vice versa would be done through my lawyer. For his family and friends, I just typed up one email outlining everything that had happened and why I left. I told them I wished them no ill will, but that such treatment of his wife and partner was not acceptable. That should Alex get remarried in the future, I wished they would help support both partners and not just Alex. </p> <p>Alex, from what my lawyer told me, was livid when he was served. The sheriff actually ended up booking him for assault on an officer and menacing due to the threats he was shouting. His father bailed him out in a few hours, but with the testimony of the sheriff, my lawyer believes I have a very good chance at getting a restraining order. Alex, upon returning to the house, apparently lost his temper again, breaking the dining table into pieces as well as the tv, and putting several holes in the walls. At least that's what one of the emails from one of our friends reported as Alex called him to help him clean up the mess. </p> <p>My lawyer already has pictures of the house I took, with timestamps as evidence nothing had been damaged by me. My friend reported that Alex tried to claim I'd been the one to trash the house but the holes in the wall were at head height - Alex is 6'3&quot;, and I'm 5'4&quot; so he knew that was false. Either way, taking the pictures definitely will help me so again thank you everyone here for the advice because I never would have thought of that on my own. My work won't share details of where I am, as I do work with some higher end clientele who value security and that information won't be gossiped about and no, I'm not some stripper or escort. I deal with contracts, notary and business management. As such, even if Alex tried to use my work to find me, he wouldn't succeed. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/s/958o4qYgbB">Update on leaving</a> <strong>May 26, 2024</strong> </p> <p>It’s been a little bit, and I thought I’d answer some questions before giving my update. It may be a while after this until things change. </p> <p>Firstly, No I didn’t bring my car. The public transport here is good enough to use without needing one. I have secured an apartment, and the building has good security. You need a key card to enter, and there is a security guard at a desk right by the entrance to the building. As part of my contract, I gave them a photo of Alex and his family so that even in the off chance they do find me, they won’t be let in. </p> <p>The responses I got from the emails varied. His family said I was overreacting, and that I owe Alex an apology for the problems this has caused him. The pending criminal charges puts him at risk of losing his job if he’s convicted. Alex sent a long email, apologizing and pleading for me to come home. He said he was worried for me, that he is willing to go to therapy if it will appease me. He wants us to remain together, and he didn’t think leaving was an appropriate response to his genuine concern and worry for my health and safety. The friends gave somewhat lacking replies, saying that they didn’t think Alex was ever going to hurt me and that I shouldn’t be letting my imagination run away wild. As much as I want to say I was surprised by the lack of support, I’m honestly not. </p> <p>He intends to fight the divorce. I am letting my lawyer handle it, and I am also pursuing a protective order as well. Once I got approved for my apartment, I also froze my credit. I’ve changed my phone carrier and number, as well as making sure none of my documents list Alex as next of kin or POA. </p> <p>Some have asked why I was so paranoid about Alex and his possible future actions. The answer for that actually is somewhat simple – my grandmother. I loved that woman to bits. As a teen, she explained why my grandfather was never around. He was extremely abusive and manipulative, and her generation didn’t allow divorce really. She wouldn’t have been able to buy a house or get a good enough job to support her and my mother on her own. As such, she endured it, shielded my mom as she could until my grandfather died. When I felt like I may have been overreacting, I remembered how she’d said she’d always wished she’d been able to see grandfather for what he was early on when she may have been able to annul the marriage. </p> <p>I don’t know when I’ll update again, maybe when the divorce goes through or if something big happens but until then, I’m just trying to keep my head above the water. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/u/Complex-Wing7114/s/78UYNmEZUt">Another Update</a> <strong>June 25, 2024</strong> </p> <p>It’s been a month since my previous update, and I wanted to share some of what’s been going on in the meantime. The divorce is proceeding, but even though I don’t need him to agree – and he’s not – it means I have to go through the courts to get it approved. As such, it could be upwards of six months to push it through even though I’m filing without attempting to claim property, alimony or compensation. I just want a clean break and separation. </p> <p>Alex has attempted to use our friends to reach out to me, as he doesn’t want to use my lawyer for communication. He’s saying its disrespectful and cowardly to hide behind my lawyer and not meet him face to face. Alex wrote me a letter that he did pass off to my lawyer, but the contents were him justifying his actions and claiming that in today's time it is dangerous for women to be on their own which is why he was so intent on trying to keep me safe from harm. He wanted me to understand that he was trying to protect me as best he could and was hurt that I would just lie to him and hide my actions from him related to my dissatisfaction with our marriage and my moving. </p> <p>I didn’t reply, because at no point did he apologize. All he did was turn everything around on me as I was being overly dramatic, emotional and cowardly. There was a second letter with Alex’s from my SIL. Her letter… was honestly disturbing and completely justified my misgivings regarding approaching her in any kind of professional capacity. She spent five paragraphs detailing how a ‘real abusive’ relationship looked like and that Alex was the furthest thing from abusive. The details she included were all related to financial abuse and physical abuse. Nothing like what Alex had been doing. She stated that my attempts to smear her brother’s name for attention and clout made me the abuser not him. </p> <p>I haven’t really been able to process that admittedly. Part of me can’t help but wonder if she’s right. I mean, I blindsided him by leaving as I did and am refusing to speak with him at all. My old boss recommended that I look into getting into therapy after I moved, and I think I need to. I have had a hard time adjusting to being on my own, I keep censoring myself and haven’t even gone out to eat yet. I always end up worrying about what if someone sees me, what if I get in trouble for spending my money on something frivolous… </p> <p>My lawyer is continuing to fight for the divorce, and I shouldn’t need to be physically present in court. Any meetings needed between me and the judge can be done via zoom. I’m trying to avoid confrontation with Alex and his family for now as much as I can and passed both letters to my lawyer in case he needs them. Our friends are mostly trying to avoid taking sides still, and I’m honestly approaching the point of just letting them go as well. I’m tired of fighting for them to understand at this point. I don’t know if anything is going to happen, so my next update may not be until around mid-November depending on how long it takes to push the divorce through. Work is going well, and it’s helpful to have something familiar to anchor my day to day life when so much has changed and is changing even now. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/u/Complex-Wing7114/s/kYSL43wzq7">Divorce Proceeding Update</a> <strong>Oct 17, 2024</strong> </p> <p>It’s been a while since I last updated, as I needed to let the court step in as Alex was not willing to grant my request for a divorce. We started with mediated session via zoom, but after four sessions it was decided that no compromise could be reached between us. The things Alex was pushing for were one’s I’m not even willing to humor let alone agree to. He wanted me to tell our friends and those I’d sent the information to about his actions that I’d made it up in order to gain sympathy. He also wanted me to pay him for defamation and suffering, especially the wages he lost because of sitting in jail for two days and missing work before getting bailed out. Lastly, he also wanted me to return and to quote him ‘stop my foolish behavior and act like a proper wife and partner.’ </p> <p>Yeah no. </p> <p>So, needless to say, our ‘mediated’ sessions went absolutely nowhere. The judge isn’t seeming to buy into Alex’s act thankfully, because he’s certainly tried. It took me far too long to see Alex for who he was, and part of me feels like an idiot because I didn’t see it at all. Yet, the judge seemed to clock him for exactly what he is within the first meeting. Maybe I just didn’t want to see it. I don’t know. Alex ended up arguing with the Judge a LOT, even being held in contempt four different times. I think it's honestly why this moved as quick as it did. It didn't help that Alex tried to pull in his family as character witnesses but they were dismissed by the Judge as the 'abuse wasn't seen or heard by them, and as such, they only knew part of Alex's character.' In his closing statement after he approved the divorce, he went on to call Alex a narcissist and that if Alex loved himself so much to abuse the one he'd married to let the divorce happen and marry a mirror next. I didn't think a Judge was allowed to say that. At all. But my lawyer just shook his head and told me not to say anything so we left. </p> <p>So here’s the update I’m sure everyone’s been hoping for and guessed: I’m officially divorced. The documents were processed three days ago, and I’m still in disbelief. I have no contact with Alex any longer, nor do I want any. I’m not going to give our friends my new contact information. I may not have replied to everyone, though I tried, but I did read all of your comments. I really did. Your repeated statements about how they weren’t actually friends really helped me see that they <em>weren’t</em>. So, I decided that since I moved far from that place, I needed to start over. New home, new place, new friends. It’s slow, and I’ve started therapy though it took almost three months to get it due to the usual wait times but I’ve been going three times a week ever since. It’s helping, even with things I thought were done and dusted. </p> <p>Alex didn’t take the divorce well according to my lawyer who’s been keeping up with him to make sure he stays away from me. He did something at work, I don’t know what as obviously I have no way to gain that information, but whatever it was cost him his job. My lawyer also did something I didn’t expect him to, but something I think everyone will like – He took the letter my ex-sil sent me and forwarded it to the domestic violence organization she works for along with an formal statement regarding Alex, his actions, and the decision of the Judge. She’s been let go as well, and given how tight those organizations are with one another, my lawyer said that the likely hood of her getting a position at another is slim to none. I actually laughed, though I was a bit teary, when he said that and that ‘slim is on a leaky rowboat to China.’ </p> <p>I’ve been crying a lot lately, but my therapist says it’s normal and shows I’m actually processing things instead of bottling them up and pushing them down. I’ll try to update in a month or so, if my emotions level out some, to explain a few more of the details but I wanted to get this out there, and thank everyone for their continued support and encouragement. I appreciate each and every one of you. I really do. You gave me the hope that leaving him wasn’t going to be this giant black mark I’d never heal from or move on from. Work is going well, and the sense of normality and routine is helping me avoid feeling like everything has been spiraling out of control. </p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/u/Complex-Wing7114/s/wAcOx7vYug">I'm working on me now...</a> <strong>Nov 18, 2024</strong></p> <p>It's been a month since I finally was able to share the success of my divorce from Alex. My mood swings are still happening, but they don't last quite as long anymore so I'm taking that as a good sign. My therapist recommended that I sign up for some kind of physical activity, just to help work out and channel what she called the fight/flight instincts more. So I've joined a local self-defense club and I'm going twice a week. I felt really awkward in the beginning, but they've all been super nice and welcoming so it's been easier. It has helped I think, a lot of my jitteriness and anxiety has calmed and I'm sleeping better as well. </p> <p>I've also joined a book club, though it's all online at the moment, they're discussing the possibility of meeting in person rather than over skype at a local park. It's hard, honestly. I feel like a kid that just changed schools and sometimes feel like it's either sink or swim. My therapist pointed out that if I feel like I'm sinking to stop, take a step back and remind myself that I have all the control over my actions - if I don't like something I don't have to do it. I can feel my emotions but I also need to not let them control and dictate my actions. She also pointed out how I've developed a tendency to try and fix other people's bad moods. She told me that they're adults, and it's not my responsibility to manage anyone else's emotions other than my own.</p> <p>It's been hard. But... I'm getting there. I think in a year, as a celebration for my divorce, I may go visit my grandmother's grave. Just to talk if nothing else as silly as that may sound. </p> <p>I passed on your thanks to my lawyer, who smiled and said - a bit smugly I might add - that he loves giving people who thought they were untouchable the karma they deserved. He went on to add that he enjoyed being 'Karma's helping hand'. My lawyer has kept abreast of what's been happening with Alex and his sister both, just to make sure they don't try anything. According to him, my ex-sil threw a fit when she was let go from the DV center, enough that she was barred from the premises. It seems that she shares some traits with her brother in regards to temper. She's now working at Lowes apparently, as while she was a volunteer at the DV center, she has to pay some fines for damages she caused during the incident that got her banned.</p> <p>As for Alex, he's been quiet which worried me at first. But my lawyer told me he's keeping his head down. He's gotten another job with a construction crew, but with everything he has to pay, he cannot afford to lose his job. I was awarded damages for emotional distress and harm, as he never touched me physically. I was able to prove my statements thanks to records of the text conversations between Alex and I regarding the tracker and not leaving the house without permission. As my financial situation is stable, I don't need Alimony, so my Lawyer advised not to try for it and focus on compensation for damages in stead. Alex's family apparently hates me now, as they've reached out to my lawyer, telling him to pass on the message that I've successfully ruined both Alex and his sister's lives over my 'lies'. Honestly, at this point... I'm getting to the point of not caring anymore. I only have so much to give right now for emotional needs and I want it for my own, not to expend on someone else if that makes any kind of sense. </p> <p>So that's where I'm at right now. It's hard, coming up to the holidays and being alone but a few weeks ago, I found a kitten in the alley next to my work. He's a tiny, raggedy little thing. He's black, long hair with three white paws and he's also missing his tail. He's got the first vertebrae but nothing else. According to the vet, mom may have accidently bitten it off at birth... which I didn't even know happened but apparently it does. I'm calling him Bandit. So I'm not alone anymore, but now I have a kitten that thinks EVERYTHING needs to be hunted... including my toes to I wear slippers constantly cause those little claws of his are like freaking daggers I swear. I'll update again if anyone wants me to, but yeah... that's where things are now.</p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/u/Complex-Wing7114/s/TOX0JTOzBC">Bandit photos per request</a> <strong>Nov 18, 2024</strong></p> <p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/lPhWx06">OOP pays cat tax with 10 pics of Bandit</a></p> <p><strong>NEW UPDATE</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/u/Complex-Wing7114/s/0vkrITiepJ">Update on my new life</a> <strong>Feb 1, 2026</strong></p> <p>Hello everyone, I know it's been a long time since my last update. I didn't want to bog everyone down with small little things here and there as recovering and learning who I am feels like a process that never seems to end. But good things have happened, my life has stabilized, and I wanted to give all of you who have supported me and offered me advice and encouragement the update you deserve. So here goes.</p> <p>First, Bandit is doing great. He's a little skittish sometimes, I think from just finding him as a stray kitten some of that still stuck around but he's quiet and a menace all at once. I sometimes wonder if he sent out signal because about five months ago another kitten decided to make my house his home and I couldn't say no. So now I have two cats. His name is Maverick and he lives up, and down, to his name constantly. He's a full time cuddler as if you sit he wants on your lap and purrs constantly, adores meat, and loves to make Bandits life chaos like an annoying little brother. I can provide photos if anyone wants them.</p> <p>Second, my job is going well. It's stable, challenging and keeps me focused so I'm not getting lost in my own head all the time as I might have if the work was easy. The rest of the time I feel like I'm a cat herder and losing. I signed a lease on a new apartment, about a month ago, I've got a good 1B/1B apartment that came with an in unit washer/dryer which was got so excited for then felt so old at the fact that I got excited over that.</p> <p>Health wise, I got a new GP and had a bunch of tests run and thankfully everything came back clear though she did warn I showed signs of high blood pressure, but that it could be caused due to stress and circumstances rather than diet or genetics and encouraged me to continue with my physical exercise. I've also started what I call international night, where on friday nights after work I cook a dish/meal from another country. It's been fun, I've had good and bad ones admittedly but it's been enjoyable so if anyone has any recipe suggestions I'd love to hear them! Therapy is still a process but progress is there. I'm not panicking or having spirals nearly as much, and when I do they aren't as bad. Notably so.</p> <p>I've made a decent group of friends here, and while none are 'sister' level yet, they are good people, and genuinely care about me. I did visit my grandmother's grave about two months ago. Had a breakdown there but in spite of the snow I still felt warm if that makes any sense, even if the wind made my face feel like a kid licking a frozen pole ouch. It helped to just pour it out to someone who understood, and couldn't say anything, to just vent and bleed it out. My therapist 'requested' I call her after, and I did so. It feels weird to have someone so invested in my mental health like that even outside of her office. Good weird though.</p> <p>Lastly, Alex and his family. I haven't contacted them, haven't wanted to honestly. I know I've gotten a lot of DM's from people claiming that by saying how much I thought about what Alex and his family did meant I missed my Ex-Husband and felt guilty. I don't quite follow that logic but I just didn't respond to them. That said, no I don't miss him or his family. I miss what I thought I once had, and mourn the future we could have had had he not turned out to be a controlling narcissist. But I don't miss him, his family, nor do I regret leaving. Alex is still working at the construction company, and his sister was let go from Lowes though why I don't know, nor do I care all that much as long as they leave me alone.
