  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Dec 2024

  Timothee plays a good Bob Dylan and I was extremely into the 1960s setting and loved hearing Bob Dylan songs for a couple hours while I sat in a big comfy recliner. It was fine and the plot was a little flat, but I’ll see it again and love it.

  I hope they make this into a cinematic universe and do all the versions of Bob throughout the years. But Timmy has to keep playing Bob as he gets older. So in like 2075 we get another installment in the Bob Dylan Cinematic Universe about the release of the song Murder Most Foul.

  8 Mile 2002

  ★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2023

  The intensity of this movie makes it seem like the stakes are way higher than a weekly rap battle.

  American Paradise 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Aug 2019

  Joe Talbot has this way of dropping the viewer right into the setting from the first shot of his films. He makes real life feel dreamlike. Or maybe makes a dream feel like real life. Both LBMiSF and this look beautiful. I love his style and story telling through a poetic lens.

  The Favourite 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Jan 2019

  Usually I'm the kinda guy who doesn't really like movies where everyone is in costumes, but this one was pretty good. Really liked the set and the cinematography. Yorgos is making interesting movies and I'll continue to see em!

  *sidenote* the theater next to this was playing AQUAMAN and it was really loud when THE FAVOURITE was really quiet. Not a great theater experience!
