    I didn’t think much of this movie when I first saw it. But after rewatching this film, I can gladly say that this is a straight up MASTERPIECE.  There’s not many movies like Sidney Lumet’s 12 Angry Men. This film felt INCREDIBLY relevant, especially in the times that we live in. Lumet’s masterful direction is ever so present in this film…

    All I can say about this movie is......PURE CINEMATIC BLISS.......It's PERFECTION. La La Land is a PERFECT movie. It's a beautiful cinematic masterpiece that only gets better and better with EVERY watch, celebrating art, passion, dreams and love.

    I first heard about this movie back when it came out. I wasn't as into movies back then as I am now, but I had heard about the crazy mess up of…

    Paul Newman KILLED this role; I thought that he was the best part about this film, but his really good performance really was held back by a slow moving and quite lackluster story and script that really felt like it didn't go anywhere. Overall MID in my book.

    This was suppose to be a comedy, but in all honesty, this wasn't really that funny at all, more; boring if you ask me.

    I swear, Paul Thomas Anderson can’t do anything wrong. Licorice Pizza was the best experience in the cinema ALL YEAR! Ghostbusters: Afterlife was a great experience, but this tops it! The innocence of the story about a boy that wants to get the girl of his dreams. While simple, Thomas Anderson makes the absolute MOST of it. Cooper Hoffman is great, but Alana Haim is a SHOWSTOPPER.

    If you can get through the tedious runtime which was my major complaint, Ridley Scott’s period piece The Last Duel is one of the best films of 2021. A true blend of visual art through award worthy cinematography, costume and production design. The story at its core can be quite daunting, but mostly understandable, thanks to an all star CAST. Damon and Driver I can see getting nominated especially Jodie…
