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…

Barbie 2023
“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…

Oppenheimer 2023
“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…

The Batman 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is my first time watching this masterpiece since watching it in the theater months ago and I must say, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! The theater experience was absolutely amazing, so this viewing was definitely a downgrade, but it still kicked ass. The first time I watched this film, I was kind of confused about the plot, so this time around I think I got a better grasp of it. It is quite to the point and predictable, but the…

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
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…

Oppenheimer 2023
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,…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
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 2023
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…

The Holdovers 2023
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…

House 1977
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I love everything about this movie. I love the goofiness, the effects, the music (especially the song that plays whenever something outrageously goofy happens 😫🙌), the witch cat that has cool little laser twinkles in its eyes, the actors were all fantastic, and my favorite part was by far the piano death scene. I also really liked the stop motion effects used in certain scenes like when that guy in the beginning tripped down a flight of stairs and then was zooming and bouncing around on a pot or pan. This film was surreal, amazing, and truly ahead of it’s time.

Past Lives 2023
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…

Mulholland Drive 2001
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is my first time rewatching this amazing film and I’m so glad to say that it’s still soooo fucking great. I’ve been on a massive Lynch marathon recently and I think it is only right to end it with his, in my opinion, greatest and most brilliant film to date. Let me tell you, I didn’t want this movie to end, I was so entranced by it and so deeply interested in everything it had to offer. Naomi Watts gave…
