  The Count of Monte Cristo 2002

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Feb 2025

  Only major flaw is albert switching sides on fernand so quickly like bro what. Otherwise this is a fantastic movie but to be fair I haven’t read the book so not sure how it compares

  Bfs rating: 4

  Hacksaw Ridge 2016

  ★★★ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  None of these actors seemed like they should’ve been in the same movie. Vince Vaughn, Hugo weaving, the guy from avatar. Very random assembly of people that I can’t take seriously together. I think the second half was better than the first even though it got very violent very fast. I can appreciate this being a true story and an emotional watch but don’t think I’ll need to repeat it.

  It Ends with Us 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Aug 2024

  Here’s all the things I hate:
  - I hate Colleen Hoover
  - I hate how the book (and movie) was marketed as a romantic story when it very much is not
  - I hate that because of said marketing, many people with trauma will go into this movie not knowing it may trigger them
  - I hate Blake Lively’s constant lip bite 

  Most of all, I hate myself for giving this 4 stars. I hate that they played Ethel Cain and it WORKED. It was beautiful. And I hate that.

  We Live in Time 2024

  ★★★ Watched 25 Oct 2024

  I hate when a movie takes a woman who doesn’t want kids and turns her into a mother after she falls in love. I think the child was necessary to the emotional aspect of the story so I understand why they did it but it still irks me. This was good, but I think only the first time around. Not sure it would affect me that much on a rewatch just because of the pacing and how it kept everything a little bit mysterious. Also I can’t hear the name Tobias without thinking about arrested development.
