Extraordinary filmmaking from top to bottom. One of the great new tales of the American Dream, told in truly epic fashion. The scale of this movie is breathtaking, and the fact that it was made for under $10 million is absurd. Probably deserves all of the Oscars it was nominated for, including Best Picture. The admittedly daunting runtime wasn’t an issue in the slightest, I was swept away within seconds, plus the intermission felt proper. The score, the edit, and…

The Substance 2024
I don’t have a ton to add on to my initial review, besides the fact that this has to be one of the greatest sound designs ever created. Holy shit. You feel every single movement, every crunch, every splat, every ooze. A hilariously absurd monument of body horror. The type of movie that gives so little fucks about logistics or trying to provide reasoning for anything going on in the script; the director isn’t interested in grounding this story in…

Wedding Crashers 2005
The perfect example of a pretty solid comedy with lots of laughs that unfortunately stoops down to an average level for me due to its pacing. This movie’s main issue is that it slightly overstays its welcome in the back half, I think I’d prefer if this was about ten minutes shorter. Still, there’s a lot to love here and the cast is beyond stacked. Whatever Bradley Cooper is doing is hilarious. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are in full…

The Last Picture Show 1971
Wow. I’ll save my pessimism and give this the 5/5 it rightfully deserves, since I know that I’ll cave and mark it as a 5 on my inevitable future rewatches anyways. Astounding filmmaking. This thing was made for me. Possibly the hangout movie of all time. However, it’s an extremely slow, sad & melancholic hang, I must say. All we’re really doing here is observing a bunch of pals and lovers doing their best to get by and amuse themselves amidst…

GoodFellas 1990
Ray Liotta, man, you will be missed. This is a very important movie to my life and obviously it wouldn’t be the same without him cast as Henry Hill. I say it every time, but this film is simply miraculous in each and every department and continues to amaze me. Seemingly always wraps up in the blink of an eye, the runtime feels like it’s only 90 minutes for me lol

Boogie Nights 1997
Instantly 5 stars for the introduction alone, but what truly makes Boogie Nights so wonderful is that in reality, the porn industry is solely used as a backdrop to support the phenomenons in which Paul Thomas Anderson wanted to throw at us. The film, to me, is really about family and acceptance, as well as the idea of chasing perfection within an art-form, the big ol’ goal of filmmaking becoming something much more than just entertainment and finally the way in which…
