    Magneto and Galadriel should do more movies together honestly. 

    Classic balmy film Soderbergh made something that feels true to the spy genre, where action takes a far back seat to a story that focuses on the mole in our midst

    Wow what a weird good slow burn sleeper film. I had no idea this film existed until I randomly scrolled across it. 

    Paul Dano can do no wrong
    Sandler has still got it

    In space, no one can hear you unpack your relational baggage

    Being a photographer, I endeavor to testify well to what’s in front of me, and Garland set about the dialogue underpinning an ideal journalism which finds itself almost unbelievable based on the news of our day. For what it might lack in fleshing out the war on our own soil to greater understanding or detail, it made up for placing you on the ground with what felt like potentially real touch points of a modern conflict in our backyard.

    I think being in the imax experience for this definitely added greatly, where the loudness of it all put you in the setting quite well.

    I love sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

    Fear is no longer the mind killer.

    Masterpiece that could’ve camped out a bit more time in the third act. I want to see it three more time in theaters. The height of the theater experience. Every wide shot delivers a sense of truly unbelievable spectacle and scale.

    So bought into the love, I want to get certified as a marriage and family therapist just to help Paul and Chani work through their fictional relationship.
