    I Saw the TV Glow 2024

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Jul 2024

    I tried and tried to claw my way out but that burnout guy had packed the dirt in too tight just like I had asked him to do. And then, after I don't know how long, I felt myself start to leave myself

    Accentuated by visual style, aesthetics, and the performances, Jane Schoenbrun so effortlessly portrays the horror I feel everyday, the feeling of being closeted, hidden and dying inside. Day and day again my soul is slowly crushed into…

    Suspiria 1977

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 21 Apr 2024 1

    One year ago today, my life changed. I was searching through Kanopy and stumbled upon Dario Argento's Suspiria. The single still of Suzy towards the end with Helena Markos, the iconic one, intrigued me so much that I pressed play. Then I discovered my favorite director and one of, if not my, favorite film ever made. A film that altered who I am.

    Before Suspiria, I liked film. I was really into Old Hollywood, still am, but didn't consider myself…

    Civil War 2024

    ★★★ Watched 16 Dec 2024

    I enjoyed this for what it was and the acting and cinematography were great, but look into this and it's hollow.

    Alex Garland is one of Hollywood's most dangerous filmmakers, after watching this and Men and seeing what he has up next. Like Men, this pretends to have a message but there's nothing underneath it. It's not anti- or pro-war, it's just a film that shows war without taking a stance. That would be fine if the focus of the…

    ★ Watched 26 Apr 2024 4

    This is a film that lacked substance. It was a lot of meaningless sex and tennis with no real dramatic/story payoff.

    The one star is for the decent direction, Zendaya's performance, and actually having gay tension in the love triangle.

  • The Birds

    The Birds 1963

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 Dec 2024

    Used to think this was a lesser Hitchcock but oh wow

    I'm in love with the editing and story and characters and everything about this. It needed to be a slow burn to effectively do this premise, succeeding st being super intense, especially because you grow to care about every character. Melanie is lowkey insane but I love her (and her style is gorg). Also the visuals are insanely pretty and the camera angles are so engaging, but it really…
