Cure 1997
Both times I’ve watched this, I felt uncomfortably still in the first half of the movie. The first time, skin crawling due to the nothingness and bleakness, I wasn’t sure I liked it at all. Even though I can think back on this and remember, I felt the same damn way this time around. I interrogated myself halfway through, asking myself how and why I gave my initial review five stars and how I came to the decision of placing…

Big Night 1996
Big Night is an immediate favorite for me. A splash of meandering jazz in a mostly dormant restaurant. The smell of fresh cooking circulating. Interrupted by the light clatter of pans and cleaning as they prepare to dazzle. Honest and sweet attempts to bring each other back together once again. A rambunctious businessman taking the form of a faux mentor in hopes to steal away the family heirlooms and Primo himself. A slice of life depiction of just how tough…

Mrs. Doubtfire 1993
While the movie has certainly aged a tad in the joke department, it still has iconic moment after iconic moment. It’s truly a spectacle of a movie and if you look at it a little less literally, I think you’ll see that it has a lot of interesting grapplings when it comes to exploring how marriages and their failure or success impacts and effects families. It’s a little on the nose at times and simultaneously a little indirect at times,…

Mysterious Skin 2004
A movie in which I sat there having visceral reaction after visceral reaction. My entire body and mind felt like it was sinking down into my stomach as my entire body and breath rang with unease. Mysterious Skin didn’t ever hold back on the story it was telling and the themes of child abuse it navigated very carefully. Childhood trauma and abuse isn’t a topic that is easy to navigate and grapple with. It’s gut wrenching and dread inducing. It’s…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse speaks for itself along every new groove within the story and universe. This movie progressed Miles and Gwen and others along their respective journeys way way more thoroughly than the first one. I felt much more connected to the characters and their families.
This movie may very well be the best, most creative animation I’ve ever seen. I was just blown away. The visuals alone had me completely and utterly flabbergasted. Every. Single. Scene. Was beautiful…

Speed Racer 2008
It’s clumsy, overdone in every imaginable way, unabashedly bright, and outrageously written but by god if every second isn’t exactly what it means to be. Every flaw. Every moment that goes on too long. Every clumsy and corny joke. All meant to be exactly that. There is no other movie like Speed Racer and something in me knew that as a kid. As I rewatch it for the first time in many years after growing up watching it all the…
