Our expectations were high, but there was no possible way we could have ever been ready for this. I watched Dune Pt.1 in the theaters for the first time and was blown away. I even took a second stab at preparation with an at-home viewing, yet it was to no avail. Pt.2 blows the doors off of Pt.1 in almost every facet, except for not having Oscar Isaac, which is a true tragedy. A lot can be taken from my…

Heat 1995
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Letterboxd GC Pick #22: Heat
“Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner”
It is time. I’ve intentionally put off this movie for months for plenty of reasons, but it was finally time to pull the trigger. Heat means a lot to me in a lot of ways. It is the movie that has got me as passionate about movies as…

Memento 2000
This rewatch skyrocketed this up my Nolan rankings for me. I had a feeling, as this movie had just continually aged to perfection in my brain, and it was time to put it to the full test. I tried really hard to find imperfections and holes in the plot, character, concept, direction, etc. It came away completely unscathed. For a plot and concept so cut up and glued back together, it’s rare to find no holes when you look at…

The Usual Suspects 1995
It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen this, probably three plus years since a full rewatch, but I still love it. A lot of people seem to think that this movie ages poorly after the first watch, but I would severely beg to differ. While the twist certainly isn’t as shocking, the performances stay to be just as fantastic, and even grow in stature I would argue. The phenomenal ensemble of Byrne, Pollak, Spacey, Del Toro, Baldwin brings…

Sing Sing 2023
One of the most powerful movie experiences of the decade, bar none. I found every piece of this film to be captivating, moving, emotional, dramatic, theatrical, heartfelt, and true. Sing Sing is one of the best movies of the year, if not the decade. The fact that this movie has gone so understated is such a depressing thought. I’m slowly becoming a fan of A24 because they are really starting to head the front of independent cinema, but their release…

In Bruges 2008
“Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.”
Good lord. This is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed harder at a film on a first watch since something like “Wolf of Wall Street”. Yes, the comedy is politically incorrect, and if that doesn’t age well for…
