  • GoodFellas

    GoodFellas 1990

    ★★★★★ Watched 16 May 2023

    From that first freeze frame and needle drop at the end of Ray Liotta’s opening narration all the way to that final look in the camera, everything about GoodFellas is undeniably iconic. The way Martin Scorsese immerses the audience in the rise and fall of Henry Hill is increasingly both enthralling and distressing. While the film follows Hill and is told mostly from his perspective, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro each masterfully play two sides of the gangster archetype…

  • Jurassic Park

    Jurassic Park 1993

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Jun 2023

    I think if there's one film I could go back and watch for the first time, it would be this one. Despite seeing this film many times over the years, the unassailable tension found in Jurassic Park remains as strong and enjoyable as ever. From the first frames of this film Steven Spielberg imparts an unease as though the viewer themselves are being watched, and within minutes the sensation of being hunted is terrifyingly introduced. Following an emphatic opening, things…

    Toooo sleepy for a rating. Will be back, with intent.

  • Klaus

    Klaus 2019

    ★★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2024

    This was a really fun subversion of the Santa story and featured a ton of funny moments to go along with some more heartfelt, albeit cliche, story beats. I will say the animation style wasn’t always my favorite, but there are certain frames that stand out as really beautiful so I didn’t mind some of the clunkiness elsewhere. 

    Also JK Simmons got paid like $100K a word for this by Netflix didn’t he?

    yea absolutely nobody matching this movie’s freak lmao. Freaky in multitudes, one might say. 

    Insane cinematography and an unflinching cultivation of atmosphere from Eggers culminates in horrifying and disturbingly alluring drama, all sold to hell and back by Lily Rose-Depp. This watch highlighted just how incredible Eggers’ direction is, as the camerawork seamlessly blends tragedy and fate as continuous and broken shots weave together to tell this haunting tale. A deeply unsettling work that pulls what it needs to from…

  • Dune: Part Two

    Dune: Part Two 2024

    ★★★★★ Watched 05 Mar 2024 1

    I started my Dune: Part 1 review by saying “This might not exactly be the Dune I had envisioned, but I think I still love it nonetheless.” Now, I can confidently say that although this is still not quite the Dune that I envisioned, I emphatically love both of these films and what they do for the world of Dune.

    Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 is, to put it simply, an absolute spectacle to behold. It is likely the film…
