Tenet 2020

★★★★ Watched 06 Sep 2020 5

(5 fo tuo 4) TAERG :edarG
NO SPOILERS AT ALL!
Christopher Nolan has crafted yet another well executed mind bending film in Tenet. While in previous films, such as Inception, Nolan was able to balance plot development and character development, Tenet mainly focuses on its plot.
From the opening scene, the plot hits you like a runaway train. The director does not slow the train down for you to catch up, you either keep up or watch the movie again.…
Parasite 2019

★★★★★ Watched 02 Nov 2019 12

Grade: MASTERPIECE (5 out of 5)
I am in awe of what Bong Joon-ho has accomplished with Parasite. After two subpar films (that’s right, I didn’t really enjoy Snowpiercer nor Okja), I feared Bong had lost his mojo, especially after three fantastic South Korean films.
Parasite removes all doubt and makes me ashamed I doubted Bong for a moment. The praise and the hype might seem like hyperbole, but I assure you they are not. Parasite is not only one…

Ugetsu 1953

★★★★½ Rewatched 05 Jan 2021 3

Grade: HALL OF FAME
There are scarier films out there, but none more haunting than Ugetsu. The impact of the film lingers in the viewer's mind like a fragrance long after other films' jump scares have been forgotten.
It's a Wonderful Life 1946

★★★★★ Rewatched 09 Dec 2020 2

Grade: MASTERPIECE (5 out of 5)
Everything that needs to be written about this movie has already been written. So, I will simply say that It's a Wonderful Life is nearly two hours of build-up to one powerhouse scene so emotionally potent that over 70 years later we are still reeling from its impact.

The Secret in Their Eyes 2009

★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Jul 2020 8

Grade: MASTERPIECE (5 out of 5)
I will make this brief. El Secreto de Sus Ojos is a monumental achievement in storytelling and genre mixing. A meditation on justice, friendship, and love not just in one moment in time but throughout a life. A blending of a crime thriller and a romance, in which I found the romance to be the most interesting plot line!
El Secreto de Sus Ojos is one of the greatest movies of all time regardless of country of origin. This is the kind of movie that inspires the viewer to look inward and analyze their life. Unmissable.
Joker 2019

★★★★★ Watched 06 Oct 2019 3

Grade: MASTERPIECE (5 out of 5)
"Why so seriou--- Wait, that's not it.
"You ever dance with the devil in the pale--- No, that's not it either.
"Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?"
-Arthur Fleck
In 2016, New York City (aka Gotham) had 335 homicides, which was nearly one homicide a day. Sounds rough? Well, in 1981, New York City had 1,826 homicides! This carnival of crime is the setting of Todd Phillips' Joker. Add…
