  Minority Report 2002

  ★★★★ Rewatched 21 Mar 2025

  Steven Spielberg really is a great director. He really knows what to do with the camera; like his instincts are incredible.

  And yet, he doesn’t quite excite me. Maybe it’s just that he’s so technically, classically good in an undeniable way, and I do think he had a specific style but I think its because its “classic” that I can recognize it and appreciate it, but I never even think to put him in my list of favorite directors.

  Anyway, this is a very good thriller. They really don’t make ‘em like this anymore,

  Trap 2024

  ★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Since I watched The Virgin Suicides and The Sixth Sense yesterday, it made sense that I watch Trap today.

  I could go into why I found this movie to be pretty dumb (too much of a reliance on assuming we’ll suspend our disbelief, weird acting choices and just some straight up bad acting, for starters) but instead I want to say that the hardest I’ve laughed at a movie in sometime is when Kid Cudi flips his hair at Josh…

  The dialogue scenes drag, though there are a lot of funny moments that did make me laugh out loud. I think Dakota Johnson is right in…

  Being John Malkovich 1999

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 12 Mar 2025

  Can't stop thinking about this, especially the last moments. I'm very pleased that my second watch lived up to my first viewing. Just as intriguing, funny, strangely moving and of course delightfully bizarre as the first time I saw it. I would love to see Cameron Diaz in more roles like this. Kind of disappointing that her comeback is currently being comprised of Shrek 5 and some Netflix movie with Jamie Foxx when we see what she's capable of.
