  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Jul 2020

  As someone who holds Steven Spielberg as my favorite director of all time, the documentary Spielberg is an absolute masterpiece and the definitive exploration of one of cinema’s greatest storytellers. Directed by Susan Lacy, this film isn’t just a straightforward retelling of Spielberg’s career—it’s a rich, deeply personal journey through the mind and heart of the man who redefined blockbuster filmmaking while also delivering some of the most intimate, emotionally resonant stories ever seen on screen.

  The Florida Project 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  The Florida Project is a beautifully shot and emotionally powerful film that captures childhood innocence in contrast with the harsh realities of poverty. I thought the movie was great, and Willem Dafoe is definitely a standout—he brings so much heart and warmth to his role as Bobby, the motel manager. He always delivers in his performances, and this one is no exception.

  What really makes this movie special is how it presents the world through the eyes of Moonee and…

  Thor 2011

  ★★★½ Rewatched 08 Mar 2025

  Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston absolutely carry this movie. Hemsworth does a great job portraying Thor’s transformation from an arrogant warrior to a more humble hero, while Hiddleston steals every scene he’s in as Loki. The dynamic between…

  Sonic the Hedgehog 2020

  ★★★½ Rewatched 19 Dec 2024

  This movie is such a fun and cool ride! It brings the beloved video game character to life in an entertaining way that appeals to both longtime fans and newcomers. The highlight, without a doubt, is Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. His performance is over-the-top in the best way possible, stealing every scene he’s in and adding so much energy to the film.

  The story is straightforward but enjoyable, and Sonic himself is charming and likable. It’s a solid start to the franchise that delivers plenty of laughs, action, and nostalgia. A great time for kids and adults alike!

  The Incredible Hulk 2008

  ★★★½ Rewatched 25 Feb 2025

  Rewatching The Incredible Hulk with my girlfriend as I introduce her to the MCU reminded me of just how underrated this movie really is. While it’s often overlooked in favor of the later MCU films, I genuinely enjoy this one and still think it holds up well.

  One of the biggest highlights for me is Edward Norton’s performance as Bruce Banner. Personally, I think he’s the best actor to portray the character in the movies. He brings a more serious,…
