  2001: A Space Odyssey 1968

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Jul 2022

  70mm Cinerama Roadshow Print. 

  Transcendent experience.

  Both uplifting and deflating simultaneously, every single frame and audio cue has been pillaged by every filmmaker since Kubrick across all genres. The cinematic equivalent of a flayed corpse, a funeral, an arthouse-“Simpsons did it” experience. Bit by bit, I realized that so many contemporary directors have lifted their style from specific elements of this film (color and production design significantly) and made it their own, like taking every piece of a whale to consume. Nothing has outdone this movie since 1968. Its visual effects and photorealism are unbeatable.

  Astounding. I think in film school you gain the natural reticence to ‘curriculum material’, but this is so much beyond that. 

  This is fucking incredible, eternal cinema.

  1900 1976

  Watched 10 Mar 2025

  what the fuck.

  I have seen, and defended some real fucked up shit, but this movie is a cavalcade of consecutive ‘they-fucking-went-there’s’ for like 3 hours. WTF. It's the morning after and I'm still in shock/awe and struggling to find the words.

  317 minute (5hr 17 min) full Italian cut. 18 reels. stunning.

  Society of the Snow 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Dec 2023

  Absolutely incredible. One of the best movies I’ve seen this year hands down. MUST SEE

  Just one of those incredible films that puts you through the wringer and makes you feel every possible human emotion. J.A. Bayona takes a classic historical story and turns it into a thrilling epic with Biblical scope.

  An emotional rollercoaster that makes a BOLD narrative choice. 

  Truly astonishing visceral experience - I highly implore you to see this in a theater if that options available…

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Sep 2024

  Kubrick but make it cunt. 

  A jaw-dropping, awe inducing instant entry into the horror canon that exceeded my sky high expectations. I am so awestruck, I have no words left. Oh my fucking god. 

  Camp masterpiece. Puts all the neo-“camp” movies to shame and resurrects 1980s body horror with the gnarliest practical effects and gore showers I’ve seen since my childhood. I’m talking gallons, gallons and gallons. 

  Nothing can prepare you for The Substance. Nothing.

  If you grew up watching…
