Decent.

Not great at all, though. A bit disappointed.

Some pretty cool scenes though.

There’s someone in my class who’s never seen the LOTR trilogy, so of course I have to show him.

always praying for u all.

miss all of you

never been happier.

greatest superhero film of all time

P.S. for my insta followers, I’ll continue to be active on letterboxd.

So bad.

Walked out. I never walk out. 

M. Night can’t write good dialogue to save his life. I still root for the guy tho.

So much fun.

This is why I love Deadpool.

Some of the jokes admittedly weren’t that funny, but I laughed a lot more than expected.

Tornadoes are scary.

This was genuinely one of the most frightening films I’ve ever seen. 

That’s why it’s impossible for me to give it a rating.

It’s a good movie. Well made in every way. It does exactly what a horror film should do to you. So, if you love horror, you’re going to love this.

I don’t love horror. I don’t love the feeling it gives me. But I can’t deny the intrigue I had throughout the entire film. The whole satan aspect just makes me feel really weird, therefore there’s no rating.

But no, this is NOT a bad movie. It’s a weird thing being a Catholic who’s also a cinephile, it really is.

A tad disappointed

This review may contain spoilers.

What is wrong with Yorgos Lanthimos

Let me elaborate, the first chapter of the three was great. If that was the entire film I probably would’ve given it 4 stars. The second chapter was interesting and hit the mark occasionally but ultimately made no sense and the sex/fetish obsession was just weird. Then you get to the third chapter, and it gets so so so much worse. A rape scene just had to be included because it’s a Lanthimos film and he’s so “different” and such a “feminist” right? 

It’s just gross. I don’t care how different it is, I can’t enjoy rape and fetish glorification just because it’s “art”. Get a life.

Jeffrey Dahmer?

It’s good, but lacking something to make it great.

Needed more Norman Reedus!!!

Currently bawling my eyes out.

Being able to see the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended editions) in theaters this weekend has been a dream come true. 

It’s brought a new found appreciation to these films that I didn’t think was possible.

I think it’s okay to say that nothing, and I mean nothing will ever top them.

The greatest films of all time.

“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take.”

Incredible.

Final hour is perfect. 0 flaws.

I never know how to put it into words.

Seeing it in theaters is life-changing.

So happy I was able to get tickets to see my favorite films of all time in theaters this weekend.

I’m pleasantly surprised with how good this was. I didn’t like Fury Road, but man, I loved this.

Hemsworth is getting a Best Supporting nom.

Just so good. Best western ever made.

that final sequence is one of the best I’ve seen in a very, very long time

I don’t agree that it’s this masterpiece that everyone’s making it out to be.

I don’t know why but it didn’t really click with me. Yes, the ending is great. Yes, the visuals were beautiful..but the story didn’t hit me like I thought it would.

3 stars is polite tbh

I haven’t watched a mid-budget feel good rom-com in so long. So yeah, I liked it. So what?

I liked Greg

Just so fun. Ryan Gosling is so good with comedy. Seriously though, this soundtrack was phenomenal.

I don’t know.

I’m reflecting. On myself. My decisions. 

Reflecting on where I’m at in my life right now.

I’m three months away from possibly the most important choice of my life. Entering a new life you could say.

It’s scary. Is it the right decision? Ultimately I won’t know until I’m there. It’s not like I’m trapped in a corner when I enter Seminary, I can leave at anytime. But still, it’s a step into the unknown.

What if I do become a Priest? That means I’ll never have a wife, never have children. On one hand it’s the most important, beneficial, and life-affirming job you can have but on the other hand it would mean giving up the one thing i’ve wanted more than anything my entire life; a family. 

Sometimes leaving it up to God is scary. Does that mean I’m not as faithful as I should be? Shouldn’t I just trust His will? I don’t know..

I don’t know. I need to remind myself that the life God wants for me may not be the Priesthood. Maybe I am supposed to have a wife and children. 

I guess we’ll see.

I’m leaving it up to Him.

we are exactly where we are meant to be.

I must remember that.

"The world is made up of many worlds; some are connected, and some are not.”

This is a rare film. They don’t make them like this anymore. The world is so beautiful. We all need to appreciate it every once in awhile.

‘wait, no! i wanna hear your kanye west albums!’

We don’t talk about Back to the Future enough.

“It’s so weird, this place is like everything I’ve forgotten.”

“Funny, I was thinking it’s all I remember.”
