Well there it is. Not only is this my 200th Letterboxd review, it is the first Quentin Tarantino movie I’ve seen. For a movie that’s 2 and a half hours long it feels like 1 hour and 45 minutes, tops. You can really get a feel for why people say Quentin is the dialogue master, not only memorable and impactful but it can really crank up the tension in a scene, notably the intro and pretty much the last 20…

Pacific Rim: Uprising 2018
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
My brothers were mind-blown when I told them I was gonna give this a low score and that I was bored throughout the whole movie, it appears I’ve failed them as a teacher.

School of Rock 2003
The band met up for our Main guitarist’s birthday so we watched this absolute banger to get us hyped. Still one of my favorite comedies, not because it’s one of the funniest movies to me (still really funny, the touching kids joke never gets old) but it’s inspirational on multiple levels and glorifies the best parts of rock and roll, pushing me to practice as a musician.
