    ★★★★½

    As the credits rolled, I could barely breathe. I walked out of the theater with a weight upon my chest heavier than my heart. It wasn't the slight chill in the air, or the discomfort of the chair I'd been sitting on for the past two hours.

    I stepped outside and faced the storm. With less than 10 steps taken from the building, I felt tears roll down my face—good thing it was snowing. The snow that's already been walked…

    ★★★★★

    I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.

    The DC Mini allows for a deep delve into one's dreams, where clues of the subconcious can be found. There are two types of dreams: one of day and…

    Illusions can't come to life

    Perfect Blue is one of the best horror films I've seen, because it makes what isn't real seem so real. The overall blurriness and ambiguity really added to the surreal mood, while it still had a satisfying ending. Definitely one that will be even better the second time I watch it.
