Stories
- The Shout (1978) Felt like a big budget student film. I was really proud that when the end credits showed, I started laughing and then most of the audience joined in.
- Elsinore (2026) Amazing story with a great actor in Adam Scott, but it just fell flat for me. It reminded me of a cheesy sports drama based on a great story.
- Wild Horse Nine (2026) Really funny yet was able to create genuine emotion. Really impressive combination. The acting was great throughout and I was very invested in both leads. Yo…
- The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Described to me as a “Love letter to old New York”, it was exactly such. It was truly neat movie where everything about the way it was produced made it seem …
- Club Kid (2026) Knew from the trailer I was gonna enjoy this. I expected a more generic story of a guy, struggling to, but eventually, rising to the occasion. It ended up ha…
- A Talent for Murder (2026) This was certainly the most enjoyable way to make an adaptation. It was its own work but watched as if I was reading a new Ripley novel. They never called th…
- Written on the Wind (1956) Your least favorite person’s favorite movie
- Arrested Memory (2026) It was funny, but the way that it opened, made me think that it was gonna be a really touching drama about dealing with grief and learning to let go. It quic…
- You Can See Everything (2026) This is in a class of its own. There are many takeaways you could have, but what was most potent to me was the idea that you can get the most from people by …
- Primetime (2026) Idk what I just watched. I mean I liked the cinematography and Robert Pattinson was really impressive.
- Dead Poets Society (1989) This could’ve been one of the greats but they didn’t know whether to make it more School of Rock or Good Will Hunting. They decided both and were all the wor…
- Beautiful Boy (2018) This movie made me so uncomfortable. Really cool as you realize this is equally, more 60/40, about the father dealing with everything as well as Nic going th…
- Casablanca (1942) Despite being of the most revered films I can recall, I was expecting to be disappointed. Well, I was wrong.
- Fantastic Planet (1973) Past being a cinematic marvel, I was really drawn into the plot. The first third was pretty much dedicated to world building and I appreciated the use of the…
- The Odyssey (2026) Ok rewatching this on the big big screen, damn. I stand by Matt Damon did add much to the character but his character was so well written it didn’t matter. T…
- Coyote vs. Acme (2026) First off, very happy this film ended up being released.
- Call Me by Your Name (2017) Could just tell 30-seconds in this was gonna be a good one.
- The Invite (2026) Honestly one of, if not the best movie-going experience of my life.
- The Odyssey (2026) This was really good but lowkey wasn’t vibing with much of the main acting. I love Matt Damon but he is not a good character actor and I think he really stru…
- La La Land (2016) Another day, another La La Land watch. This time, I tried focusing on Seb's motivations. I thought his goal was to open the jazz club and he could not give t…
- La La Land (2016) This was the first time I’ve ever re-watched a movie in theaters and as some very averse to rewatches, this was genuinely a different experience.
- La Notte (1961) Dear lord, European film makers are so sorry.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) I really enjoyed this movie but was really confused when the girl from the all too well 10 minute version music video started terrorizing the city also just …
- Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) Crazy chaotic movie. I loved the style of going back and telling it through many characters perspectives.
- L'Eclisse (1962) Anyone who likes this movie is a sorry pretentious snob. If this was an English film shot today, it would get a B in a high school English class.
- In Time (2011) Ok amazing concept but honestly way too complicated to make a good standalone movie for. They make a good amount of dumb time puns that I would imagine were …
- Roofman (2025) Great story but the second half was such a bore. I am also struggling through a fast at the moment so maybe that makes me less gleeful about this flick
- Paper Moon (1973) This was such an amazing movie!!! The actors were so good together. Fitting to find out at the end they are father and daughter. It was really funny movie wi…
- O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) That was such a weird movie and I honestly didn’t understand the vibe until the last third.
- Auntie Mame (1958) Wonderfully ridiculous, top drawer
- Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Playfully self aware action movie. Super fun
- Beanpole (2019) Let’s show the cutest kid, make you watch shim suffocate to death 10 minutes in and then follow it up with 3 hours of rape. All in Russian!
- Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) What the fuck was that, bro. What the fuck was that
- Pan's Labyrinth (2006) This was such an odd movie, but I’m so here for it. I wish they made sequel to explore the world more.
- The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Admittedly underwhelmed. The cinematography was expectedly stunning with beautiful Wes Anderson visuals. All the actors were genuinely so good. I think the p…
- Days of Heaven (1978) This felt like such a drag early on, but the stunning visuals really kept me in. About the first 30 minutes, the only plot felt like a B plot, and there was …
- Obsession (2025) It was really good but made me so unbelievably uncomfortable. I just couldn’t wait for it to end
- Project Hail Mary (2026) I was so hooked the entire time. Felt every emotion but surprisingly giddy was the most frequent.
- The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) Jude Law sucks and I don’t see any real allure to his character. Damon is great as always and acts like a real psycho but I don’t like how they made his char…
- Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Wow. It’s time to re-evaluate every movie I’ve reviewed because this just resets the standard.
- Marriage Story (2019) I knew this was gonna be sad, but I didn’t expect it to be so uncomfortable. You see so many lovey romcoms, the movies that focus on love falling apart appea…
- Hamilton (2020) I’m shocked. This had no business being this good. Nonstop emotional rollercoaster with a huge splash at the end.
- (500) Days of Summer (2009) This was such an uncomfortable watch. If you take out the final 10 minutes of the movie, it felt like a satirization of my year. I guess I’ll kill myself now…
- Whiplash (2014) Fuck it, another movie that should be longer. They could’ve drawn out the stages of the abusive relationship more.
- Sinners (2025) This may be the first movie that I’ve seen where I feel like it’s not long enough. Grappling with this issue of assimilation versus holding onto your own anc…
- The Truman Show (1998) Idk I watched a YouTube conspiracy video about the movie beforehand but lowkey made me appreciate the movie more while realizing the conspiracy had no legs
- Forrest Gump (1994) Far from my favorite movie but I liked the narrative style. It was a funny story with touching moments. Was definitely longer than it needed to be but the se…
- Miracle (2004) I hate re-watching movies but this one just gives me chills time and time again. It’s so emotional and anyone who has competed in anything can relate to this…
- The Longest Yard (2005) Only part I liked was chris rock and then they killed him off in the laziest way. This movie had nothing good and was pretty forgettable
- La La Land (2016) “I hate L.A. Too much traffic.” I think my west-coast bias blinds me, but honestly, I can’t tell if opening with an upbeat and colorful dance number during a…
