The Birdcage 1996
God bless Gene Hackman and his talents. He didn't get enough credit for how good a comedic actor he was.
This movie is still amazing. Every time.

The Devil Wears Prada 2006
Watching this with my film class, one of my students pointed out that this is like Whiplash but with fashion.
I couldn't get it out of my head. To the point where next time this loops around my syllabus I'm going to match those two up and make a project out of it.
This movie still rocks!!

Barbie 2023
This is the most fun I've ever had being shown how I am the problem with the world!
Seriously though I've had so many people give me looks when I said I wanted to see this because they assumed it would be some cheesy silly movie. In a way, it is, but it also has a lot to say with a lot of cool ways to say it. I also love how it took the half of Hollywood that wasn't…

Inside Llewyn Davis 2013
Watched for tomorrow's Recotopia podcast release.
The Coen Brothers are a big gap in my movie watching so it's nice to knock this off the list. Oscar Isaac is so good in this. He is absolutely the worst kind of parasitic friend but you can't help but root for him a bit. Although I feel like we're not supposed to and we should pity how his life keeps spinning in circles. The music is great, the movie is gorgeously shot, and for a movie with no plot it sure leaves a lot of plot threads hanging. Yet I still enjoyed it.
