  La La Land 2016

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 17 Jan 2022

  Wow, I did not remember this being this good when I saw it in theaters back in 2017. Nearly every aspect of this film is spot on. From the gorgeous visuals and technicolor aesthetic, to the music by Justin Hurwitz, the choreography, the screenplay, and the chemistry between the star duo—it all just works so well and is so seamlessly orchestrated.

  But damn, does that ending really hit you in the feels. Though at least it's bittersweet.

  One of my new favorites. I'm glad I rewatched it.

  Bad Genius 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2021

  It's like Ocean's Eleven but instead with a bunch of Thai high school kids trying to rig the SATs. Fun movie.
