  SLC Punk 1998

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Underrated GEM of a movie. The style and editing really encapsulate the aesthetic of punk subculture while smartly satirizing the irony of some of its belief systems. And it helps that the debaucherous mayhem is insanely fun to watch.

  Speaking of underrated, Matthew Lillard is AWESOME. He absolutely makes this movie. He has this really special screen presence that is unbelievably charming, and the more serious moments were beautifully acted.

  Also: SOUNDTRACK! Minor Threat, Ramones, Stooges, Dead Kennedys 😮‍💨 yes pls

  Apocalypse Now 1979

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025 2

  Theatrical Cut

  By far Coppola’s best. Not to be contrarian but I think Apocalypse Now is much better than The Godfather. That may not be a scalding take, at least not critically, but it’s definitely mine.

  I’ve used “perfect” a few times this week; even at the risk of wearing the word trite I will use it again. This film is perfect.

  Casablanca 1942

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2025 3

  For me, there isn’t anything that quite compares to checking out a classic work of art and finally understanding firsthand why it is considered one of the greats. These works simply cannot be replicated today. 

  My mom told me this was my dad’s favorite movie. Excellent taste must be genetic 😌
