  Vertigo 1958

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025 1

  Really interesting classic film. I love the cinematography that Hitchcock gives us. The trippy visual effects, the use of color, and the tension building music were executed very well. I really enjoyed the characters and the roles that they played. Hitchcock did a great job at showing us that oftentimes we don’t want someone for who they are, but rather for who the made up version of that person is in our mind. I just thought the plot was a…

  Stand by Me 1986

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Really loved how wholesome and hard hitting this film was. It’s about the journey, not the destination.

Such a feel good film for anyone. Just…

  Requiem for a Dream 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  Never doing drugs thanks to this film. A+ cinematography with the camera work, split screens, visual effects, and soundtrack. The plot perfectly shows how drugs can tear your relationships apart. This is a complete horror movie due to the simple but terrible reality of what drugs can do to you. Absolutely insane film from beginning to end. Possibly too insane for me to ever watch again, but you have to watch this film at least once.
