  The Irishman 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Apr 2023

  SOLIDARITY

  A less romanticized, sentimental biopic on Jimmy Hoffa and his subordinates. I always find it funny watching 80 year old De Niro and Pacino try to move around like they’re in their 50s again. Albeit it was released in 2019, that’s what aged the worst for me. This film is not rushed at all and takes its time unwrapping the dilemmas of Hoffa’s presidency over the union.

  Boogie Nights 1997

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Apr 2021

  Holy shit, that movie was a trip and a half. The first PTA film I watched was ‘There will be blood’ and I wasn’t necessarily as blown away as some of my fellow moviegoers were but it was a good movie nonetheless. This movie, on the other hand, had me engaged and laughing from start to finish. Definitely credit that to the party-heavy 1970s Cali setting.... or the fact the whole goddamn whole movie was based around the porn industry. …
