  The Hand of God 2021

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Jul 2023 4

  What a bittersweet film.
  I delayed watching this movie for a long time, and I shouldn't have done that.
  They say that the best movies are the movies that make you feel something profoundly; this movies touches something deep in the core of my being, maybe it's the grief, the intense need for telling a story, or the beauty you see everywhere.
  This is very different than anything else by Sorrentino, this is so personal and it contrasts heavily to his more (detached) style in his other movies.
  So much more needs to be said about this, but for now it suffices, I hope.

  Duck, You Sucker 1971

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Jun 2023 6

  The 'ugly' forgotten duck-ling of the "Once Upon a Time" trilogy.
  
  This is the most unique Western by Sergio Leone, tons of dynamite and blending two unlikely narratives of the the IRA and the Mexican Revolution. A story about friendship, sacrifice and betrayal, this is a heartfelt swan song of "fully-directed by Leone" Westerns.

  Thirst 2009

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 Jun 2023 2

  If this isn't a movie about love then I don't know what is; it's not just lust, horniness..etc., although that'd suffice to make this a great movie as well.

  Wild at Heart 1990

  ★ Watched 19 Jun 2023 13

  I wanted to like this, but a young Laura Dern is so insufferable.
  I heard it was a must watch on a YouTube video, but with the exception of Willem dafoe, this movie is just -for the lack of a better word- cringe.
