  • Rush Hour

    Rush Hour 1998

    ★★★★ Rewatched 31 Dec 2023

    "This is the LAPD. We're the most hated cops in all the free world. My own mama's ashamed of me. She tells everybody I'm a drug dealer." 

    Endlessly funny movie with great chemistry between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

  • The Talented Mr. Ripley

    The Talented Mr. Ripley 1999

    ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec 2023

    "I thought it was better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody."

    A brilliant story with beautiful scenery and a  twisted main character. 
    The performances in this are great, Matt Damon can do no wrong. I'm not usually the biggest fan of Gwyneth Paltrow but she was very good in this. I was thrown by Jude Law's American accent since I'm so used to hearing him with an English accent. Cate Blanchett is amazing as always of course. Philip Seymour Hoffman's delivery of "Tommy, how's the peeping" might be the greatest ever😭

    I can definitely see the similarities between this and Saltburn.

  • Candy

    Candy 2006

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Dec 2023

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

    Possibly the most misleading poster in movie history😭

    This whole movie is just so tragic and heartbreaking, and the baby scene in particular, has scarred me for life.

  • About Time

    About Time 2013

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 28 Dec 2023

    "I'm not taking my pants off for Scotland!"

    Perfect movie, though some of the time travel stuff made no sense this movie is so sweet and charming. I love it.

  • The Notebook

    The Notebook 2004

    ★★★★ Watched 28 Dec 2023

    “I want all of you, forever. You and me, everyday.”

    Why did I do this to myself.

  • Anyone But You

    Anyone But You 2023

    ★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2023

    It's okay I guess. It was somewhat better than what I thought it would be, though my expectations were incredibly low.
    The end credit montage is more fun and full of life than the entire movie. 

    Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell have decent chemistry and the movie can be fun at times.

  • Two Weeks Notice

    Two Weeks Notice 2002

    ★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2023

    "You make Gandhi look like a used car salesman."

    Best moments are when Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are just being bitchy with each other.

  • Wonka

    Wonka 2023

    ★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2023

    "May I present, Willy Wonka's wild and wonderful wishy washy Wonka Walker! Please, don't make me say that again."

    I absolutely loved this. Despite how weird the first trailer for this looked I was still excited for this movie. Timothée Chalamet is brilliant at playing a very young and cheerful Willy Wonka, and is very charming. I was very surprised at how good his singing was. I loved most of the musical numbers, my favourite being between the opening (Hatful…

  • True Romance

    True Romance 1993

  • The Nightmare Before Christmas

    The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Dec 2023 4

    "Just because I cannot see it, doesn't  mean I can't believe it"

    I will forever be obsessed with these songs.

    Merry Christmas everyone🎄

  • The Family Stone

    The Family Stone 2005

    ★★★★ Rewatched 24 Dec 2023

    "That's me and you, kid. Me and you."

    Forget what I said in my last review I love this  movie.

  • Love Actually

    Love Actually 2003

    ★★★ Watched 23 Dec 2023

    Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman and Liam Neeson's storylines>>>> everything else. 

    Movie was funny and sweet at times but was also quite problematic and aged horrendously, did the word "fat" mean something else back in 2003 cause I didn't understand it here.
