    The Water Of Life

    ★★★★

    A wonderful documentary full of life and colorful stories. Great to have a deeper appreciation and knowledge about whiskey in so many different ways.

    ★★★★½

    Fantastic. I've loved animated films ever since I was a kid and like so many at the time were blown away by Studio Ghibli's, Spirited Away. Suzume is a playful, suspense driven, touching, and emotional story which I think everyone should watch. The last 15 minutes brought tears to my eyes and I can't imagine a world in which everyone isn't moved in some way by the wonderful characters and deeply personal/relatable emotions shared throughout the film. If animated film…

    Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

    ★★★★

    A wonderful movie that is heart warming, niche, and covers a fascinating history I knew nothing about. 

    The film is a historical narrative which I love, but the format they chose was really unique. Using the actual real life protagonist as the narrator, the film switches between flashbacks and interjections from a present day interview in a clever and thoughtful way.

    Great to watch on a date, with friends and family, or just by yourself. I didn't know anything about pinball prior to watching this movie, but I now have a deep found respect for the game and  am happy to have discovered this cinematic gem.

    ★★★★★

    A masterpiece. Plain and simple. One of the best historical narratives I've seen on the big screen, especially having read the book the film is based on, 'American Prometheus.' 

    I didn't stand up until 3 to 4 minutes into the credits, which for me is saying something. 3 hours flew by, and I think that I only blinked a few times throughout the entirety of the film. 

    Definitely going to watch this a couple more times to appreciate more aspects of the cinematography and production.
