    Cure

    ★★★★★

    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

    Big Night

    ★★★★★

    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…

    Thelma

    ★★★★½

    So much of the media surrounding aging and elderly folks is daunting and sad and filled with loss and grief and confusion. It visualizes these human people as people whom the characters love but ultimately become something to be dealt with and handled rather than considered and talked to. In Thelma, the parents try to “deal” with her and she ignores them. She embarks on an adventure filled with joy and love and friendship and independence and strength. Thelma doesn’t…

  • Mrs. Doubtfire

    Mrs. Doubtfire

    ★★★★

    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,…

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

    ★★★★½

    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…

  • Oppenheimer

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    Oppenheimer rumbled and roared, soared and scared, thought and tiptoed…Oppenheimer crept across the bounds of history with vigor and passion. Giving the story of the famous bomb life through utter fear and tension. The inescapable guilt and the inescapable flames of death rose up in the eyes of this movie and Christopher Nolan met it with flawless execution. Something as serious and controversial and life taking as the atom bomb is meant to be discussed with expertise to show the…
