Whiplash 2014

★★★★★ Watched 26 Sep 2022 1

Magical. Just magical. This film was pure magic. Miles Teller and JK Simmons are two insane actors and they have proven this with Whiplash. The pure grind and sacrifice that Miles Teller showed us was absolutely insane. Literal blood, sweat, and tears were shed throughout this movie and it was absolutely moving. The acting skill of JK Simmons to be able to carry out his role and be the character he was meant to be was perfection. The pure chaos…
Hereditary 2018

★★★★½ Rewatched 11 Jan 2023

Gosh this movie gets me every time. The weirdness of it, the creep factor, and the horror are all done really well. This is definitely my number one horror film that I have watched. The moment shit started happening, it never stopped. The whole family breaking apart, Joan meddling into everything, and the crazy ending is insane. Some of the parts always get me and its crazy. The cinematography is absolutely crazy and everything makes it hard to find a flaw in this. The score is also really good and definitely keeps the tension going. Everything about this is so good.

I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was pretty good. The songs were definitely not as good as the first one but it was still pretty enjoyable.

Dune: Part Two 2024

★★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2024

Wow. This movie was so fucking good. Timothee and Zendaya did really good and I absolutely enjoyed seeing so many other actors as characters in this. The story was really good, the soundtrack fit perfectly, and the action was amazing. I don’t know what could be done differently with this because it is already such an amazing movie. I feel like it did not feel as long as it actually was and it went by pretty fast. I cannot wait…
Ponyo 2008

★★★★★ Watched 13 May 2024

This was such an adorable movie and a great watch. The only thing that confuses me throughout the movie is the fact that NO ONE questions why a fish turned into a human child. It’s a cute movie with a really great story and makes The Little Mermaid look like a rip-off. The animation in this movie was both beautiful and insane at the same time. The two kids together is cute as hell and the seniors are hilarious. I love Studio Ghibli movies so much and I can’t wait to watch all the ones I haven't seen. BANGER!
