  River of Grass 1994

  ★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Right from the start you can tell she is a special filmmaker. This is my personal first for Reichardt, and while I didn’t fall in love with this, I do appreciate it. There’s a special touch that you can see with her filmmaking. She’s very reserved which is extremely impressive. This does feel like a debut film which does hurt it, but overall it’s a great start to her filmography.

  Bird 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I don’t do the best with coming of age, but this was solid. The mythical elements did make this unique, but it didn’t quite work with me.

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Aug 2024

  A good film that builds a decent world, I just never felt scared in the entirety of this film. I was expecting more tension and tense alien scenes, but left the theater only wanting more. Still a good film and spaeny really is a star, but this could have been something that rivaled the first film.

  The Apartment 1960

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  One of the best writers of all time making one of the best films of all time. It hits all the right beats, making you feel for the characters. Making your characters feel real is a difficult task. Billy Wilder makes it seem easy. It’s as funny as it is dramatic, making for a fantastic film.
