    Everybody Wants Some!!

    ★★★★

    No clear objective and so many stories left open. But that’s the beauty of it. More about the aesthetic than about the content.

    Straight vibes, dudes cracking jokes, Glenn Powell was superb.

    Wouldn’t recommend to everyone, but will probably revisit

  • Oppenheimer

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    “Genius is no guarantee of wisdom”

    One of the best scenes in the movie is the reluctant handshake between the physicists hearing Truman’s announcement. Sums up a major sentiment in the film

    Peak of the mountain moment for Nolan imo, we’ll see what the future holds. Very little to any weaknesses

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Wildly unnecessary packed inside a “how-to guide” on poor filmmaking. Weird musicals, destroyed characters, and useless supporting roles made for an underwhelming experience

    Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

    ★★★★

    In my previous review of this movie I knocked it for baby anakin, but I think it works. Relational dynamics with qui gon and his mother would not be the same if he had been older.

    The way Lucas sets up the prequels with this movie is an absolute masterclass in writing. I genuinely believe that if you cut the pod racing in half people would like it more, but all the boring scenes give you so much more information…
