  American Honey 2016

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  If reckless youth had a taste, it’d be sweat and stolen liquor, and if freedom had a sound, it’d be the moan of tires on an open road—just like her, wild and restless, chasing a love that burns as fast as it fades.

  The Empire Strikes Back 1980

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Feb 2025

  A God Among Men in the Garden of His Own Doubts

  "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a man realizing he’s been ghosted by his ex *and* his entire species."

  In Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" (2006), we witness a cinematic exploration of power, purpose, and passion—one that trades heat vision for heartache and brawls for brooding. While it was criticized for lacking the visceral, kinetic action of its successors (*Man of Steel*, for instance), this film…
