  Green Book 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Good plot based on a true story. Performances were also good. Nothing extraordinary tho. I don’t feel my life has changed after watching it? I felt they could’ve clung to the dramatic climax for an extra beat. The monologue in the rain was a bit rushed in my opinion. Solid work tho

  The Apprentice 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2025

  Villain origin story about Trump in his real estate mogul era. Knockout performance by jeremy strong (better than kiernan culkin in a real pain dare i say). Great Trump performance by Sebastian stan -- didn't overdo it, didn't feel like a caricature. I liked the techno vibe/grain. color grading got a bit odd towards the last quarter of the movie. sad this didn't get enough award recognition. I get this film is about a despicable man, but it's excellent as a stand-alone film.

  When I first heard about a Barbie movie in the works last year, I was immediately cynical, but as soon as I saw Greta Gerwig’s name attached to it, I knew she would pull it off—and my god she did.

  Barbie is refreshingly self-aware. From the get-go the movie starts off at 100% “Barbie-ness” and only ramps up from there. The humor is dry in the best way possible, but that irony is what you want to convey when you…

  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Jan 2025 1

  Went into this film blind at Lincoln Square AMC. Did not know what to expect at all but was still blown away nevertheless. Very experimental film but for the most part they pulled it off. Wasn’t familiar with the history but I am now going to look more into it. Ending threw me for a loop. Color grading slapped. The camera angles slapped. Wish they expanded more on the ending tho. Love love loved their choice in filming from the characters pov. Excellent film
