  Robot Dreams 2023

  ★★★ Watched 07 Feb 2025

  A touching account of how loneliness begets connection and how dreams add to life. But also a cynical commentary on how chance is dominant, memories are reality, personal growth is fragile, and maturity is caution. Otherwise, good music selection and sweet character design mostly offset the oddly heavy product placement. Thought provoking but ultimately unsatisfying.

  Planes, Trains and Automobiles 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Mar 2020

  Had always heard this film in reference before, so I'm glad I got to see what all the buzz was about

  Transit is such a boring nightmare without John Candy isn't it?

  12 Angry Men 1957

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2020

  Without a doubt, 12 Angry Men presents one of the greatest works of pure dialogue and blocking ever put to screen. Race, class, and age contend with morality, logic, and emotion under the pretense of the law for a jaw-dropping and absorbing <100 minutes. If ever in need of inspiration for dialogue, budget, location, or acting, I'll be sure to return to this masterpiece.
