Oh yikes I might be becoming an anglophile. So embarrassing.

The Dark Knight 2008
I’m not sure I’ll ever get over Ledger in this movie. Few “big” performances since have even come close to the level of immersion he got to here.
It’s the hair, the makeup, and the posture, but what sells it most for me is that damn voice.
How does an Australian make himself sound like that? What the hell did he even hear that set him on the course to get there? And how does he make it work so…

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood 2019
Literally was doing the Rick Dalton pointing thing the entire time. LA… see you again someday.

Forrest Gump 1994
I’m sorry I will just never be able to get mad about a movie that goes out of its way to show us George Wallace and Ronald Reagan getting popped.

Oppenheimer 2023
Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.

The Batman 2022
Might not ever get over that Falcone reveal and how clunky and lame it is in a movie that is otherwise perfect.

Fucking amazing.

Tenet 2020
Revisiting this was an interesting experience. It’s of course staggering from a filmmaking perspective, but the center of it still rings a bit hollow, and I think I know why.
It’s Washington and Branagh. Both are wonderful actors in their own right, but I think this particular story would have benefited from a couple of true movie stars taking those roles.
The first ones that come to mind are Michael B. Jordan for The Protagonist (still stand by this name as…

Inglourious Basterds 2009
There’s so much to say about this, an essentially perfect movie, but the thing I most want to call out is Tarantino’s insane choice of using like six different fonts in the opening credits.
Please don’t stop making movies, sir.
