    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★★

    Denis Villeneuve has simply outdone himself. As if the first Dune wasn’t as breathtaking and visually stunning as ever, this film surpasses its predecessor in nearly every single regard. It’s truly remarkable and is one of the greatest science fiction films I have ever seen. Not only that, it’s one of the best sequels ever made in my opinion and adapts Frank Herbert’s novel incredibly well. Although there are a few things that differ in terms of what happens in…

    “Humans only have one ending. Ideas live forever.”

    THIS WAS SUPER DUPER AMAZING!!!!!!!! Greta Gerwig is SUCH a fantabulous director and has honestly NEVER made a bad movie in my opinion. This was so much deeper and emotional than I could have ever anticipated, while keeping its beautiful foreseeable Barbiesque atmosphere. I loved every single thing about this movie from the dazzling production design to the awesome soundtrack. Margot Robbie was simply perfect as Barbie and delivered such a joyful…

    “They won't fear it until they understand it. And they won't understand it until they've used it.”

    I am COMPLETELY and UTTERLY destroyed and quite frankly drained from this expertly crafted film. This is probably one of the most stressful and anxiety inducing movies I have ever seen. The use of fear is so powerful and really made me think about the issues being presented in this illustrious masterpiece. Cillian Murphy captured the poignant nature of Oppenheimer so very well…

    ★★★★½

    Ladies and gentleman, Martin Scorsese has done it again. With a rather impressive three and a half hour runtime, one might be intimidated to give this movie a shot, but boy oh boy was it well worth my time. Even though it’s quite long, this film went by rather quickly and that’s thanks to the incredible pacing and editing. I really liked the slow buildup in tension as the film went on and the absolutely devastating tone that gave this…

    Decided to watch this again and boy oh boy what an insane film. I honestly feel that I appreciate this movie a lot more than the first time I saw it and I understood the plot and everything that happened a lot better. The 3 hour runtime flew right by and I was absolutely invested from start to finish. This movie is such an expertly crafted character study on J. Robert Oppenheimer and really makes me think about morals, corruption,…

    ★★★★★

    I don’t know what to say, this was one hell of a movie and it definitely lived up to the hype. Watching this in the theater was such an amazing experience and I loved every second of this overwhelmingly magnificent film. The animation was soooo fucking good and it honestly one-upped the animation of Into the Spider-Verse (which was also incredibly superb). I’m so overwhelmed with love for this movie that I can’t even comprehend how to express just how…

    The Killer

    ★★★★

    The Killer was one of my most anticipated films of the year and it did not disappoint one bit. David Fincher is a master of his craft and I’m super duper glad he bounced back big time with this marvelously well crafted thriller after making Mank, which is my least favorite movie of his. I was sort of expecting this to be much more action packed, but I totally dug the slow and meticulous approach that Fincher took here. I…

    ★★★★★

    My first watch of 2024 was such a delightful one. This film has been on my watchlist for quite a while now and I’m super glad it lived up to all of the wonderfully great things I’ve been hearing and reading about it. I’ve always enjoyed Alexander Payne’s movies, particularly Election, and I definitely thought that this film had the perfect mix of both comedy and drama, which is akin to his other work. There were moments that made me…

    Past Lives

    ★★★★

    What an absolutely devastating film that hit like a fucking brick as the credits rolled. It’s a story about longing for somebody you cannot have, wishing there was a way to make it work, but ultimately deciding to part ways and live with the heart wrenching feeling of going on with your life without that one special person that you love with you. It’s sorrowful and made me feel such melancholic feelings of despair. It was such a happy-sad movie…
