  It's Such a Beautiful Day 2012

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 31 Jul 2024

  Made this little essay a while back using my old review in part, so enjoy why I believe this movie is so important:

  Even upon a rewatch I don't fully understand the movie, but you know what that's alright. The beauty in it's simplicity of the everyday and the everyman, seeing simple things bring joy and pain to Bill as we see his life, or maybe not his life, unfold in it's final moments. Or maybe he's dead and we're…

  The Monkey 2025

  ★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  Considering the insane talent backing the movie and it being based off of a short Steven King novel, I thought this was going to be the next best final destination clone, but I was instead left incredibly disappointed.

It's in this depressing reality that they can accept their life and move on, living out their current one even if it's…

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Jul 2023 2

  Barbie is an absolute fever dream, it's insane and goofy but so energetic and fun, full of comedy and a shocking amount of heart. The movie definitely transforms throughout, changing just what I thought the movie was going to be about into something a lot more impactful and shockingly deep at times, dealing with existentialism and what it means to live, all while we're in this quote unquote perfect world of Barbieland that's extremely pink and plasticky with an uncanny…
