    The Manchurian Candidate

    ★★★

    This was crazy.

    Really interesting story.

    This cast was stacked

    Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep are two of the best actors alive so it was cool to see them in a movie together.

    Liev Schrieber was fantastic.

    The movie felt like it split a little too much time between the two leads though. I feel like you should either follow Denzel’s character the whole time or liev’s. 

    Everything kind of wrapped up really fast.

    If you like large conspiracies this is a great movie to watch.

  • Good Morning, Vietnam

    Good Morning, Vietnam

    ★★★½

    Robin Williams is great in this.

    Fantastic soundtrack.

    Loved when he was talking to omaley and the soldiers 

    The relationship between him and the girl was kinda weird. 

    Definitely leaned into a lot of stereotypes about the Vietnamese especially in the beginning but I felt like it got better as it continued.

    The young boy was really good.

    If you like Robin Williams this is a must see.

    A near perfect movie.

    The story is incredible.

    The twists throughout are fantastic.

    The shot of the guy in the stairway at night is so fucking scary.

    The acting is phenomenal with each character.

    This was the first time I’ve rewatched it since it first came out and I still really loved it. 

    Some of the twists are hard to live up to the first time I watched it because I wasn’t expecting them but they were still really good.

    One of the best thrillers ever.

    If you don’t mind reading subtitles I cannot recommend this movie enough.

    I can’t believe I have never seen this movie before.

    One of the best musical movies I’ve ever seen.

    The way this movie uses the musical numbers is genius. 

    We both reached for the gun is one of the best musical numbers on film that I have ever seen.

    The cast is stacked and I think everyone does a great job in their respective roles.

    Everything about this experience was amazing and I wish more musical movies were like this one.

    If you like musical theatre I would DEFINITELY recommend this.
