  Amy 2015

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  I cried 5 times. There will never be a voice or a soul like her. She understands music so intimately and had full command of the craft. So stunning and charismatic and gone too fucking soon. This doc is a very visceral portrayal of her turmoil and some of the lowest moments in her life. I appreciated getting context of what she was experiencing when writing specific songs. I’ve found even more appreciation for her music through this. She was a musical genius and I stand by that <3

  West Side Story 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  Dance white boys dance!!!

  I was truly expecting this to be another sucky musical movie adaptation but it was honestly fantastic. The vocals were so stunning at times and the choreography was lively and theatrical as god intended. Several times I said out loud "this is so pretty" because of how the colors pop in a lot of scenes. Very thankful they hired REAL Puerto Rican people to play the Puerto Rican characters and they highlighted the racism and misogyny with more depth than I expected. I think this finally does what the racist brown-face original film sought to achieve. A definite rewatch.

  Turns out I am not immune to bisexual polyamory propaganda ;(

  Genuinely some of my favorite characters in all of fictional media. It’s brilliant and if you think it’s bad you’re not looking at it correctly because I said so.
