  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

    ★★★★★

    I cried three times.

  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    ★★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The only book-to-movie gripes I have with this series is HBP not including the memory where Voldemort asks for the DADA job and Dumbledore's funeral.

    Other than that, I'm cool.

  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    ★★★★★

    Voldemort's return is one of my favorite movie moments.

  • Catch Me If You Can

    Catch Me If You Can

    ★★★★★

    Why are we always talking on Christmas?

    My favorite Spielberg film. One of my favorite films ever.

  • The Incredibles

    The Incredibles

    ★★★★★

    During this recent re-watch, it hit me how dark this movie is.

    There's machine gun fire, sexual innuendos and ATTEMPTED SUICIDE in the first 10 minutes. Damn.

  • The Departed

    The Departed

    ★★★★★

    My favorite Scorsese movie.

  • Gremlins

    Gremlins

    ★★★★★

    The best feeling is when you revisit something from your childhood and it's just as good as you remember it being.

  • Alien

    Alien

    ★★★★★

    The standard to which every horror movie should be held.

    Fuckin' brilliant.

  • Steve Jobs

    Steve Jobs

    ★★★★★

    This time I watched it in school.

    Yes I have a problem.

  • Dark City

    Dark City

    ★★★★★

    Mood. Noir. Sci-Fi. Mystery. High-concept.

    What isn't there to love about Dark City? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    This is one of those movies where I forget how great it is until I watch it again, at which point I fall in love with the world Alex Proyas created.

    To call it a masterpiece is a disservice.

  • Castle in the Sky

    Castle in the Sky

    ★★★★★

    When I started to read about Miyazaki in preparation for diving into his films, I thought a lot of them would be high-concept action-adventure type films. Until today, the closest I got to that was Howl's Moving Castle.

    It turns out the first movie of Miyazaki's I bought was the one I was searching for the whole time.

    Castle in the Sky is flat-out incredible storytelling and one of my new favorite movies of all time.

    I plan on revisiting this very, very soon.

  • Everybody Wants Some!!

    Everybody Wants Some!!

    ★★★★★

    A common thread among my favorite movies is that I never want them to end. 

    For that reason, Everybody Wants Some is one of my favorite movies of all time.
