    The fire alarm went off at The Grove right after she met Atlas in adulthood. Was rooting for them, but we got emergency evacuated out before we could see what happened.

    I knew Baldoni was a snake from the rooftop scene.

  • Perfect Days

    Perfect Days

    ★★★★★

    PERFECT DAYS is a poignant story about a man's search for freedom, peace, and beauty, even at personal cost.

    This film stuck a personal chord and quickly became an all-time favorite alongside classics like Paris, Texas. I am excited to work my way through Wim Wenders' entire catalog now.

    Hirayama's estrangement from his father is a subtle yet significant element that colors the entire narrative. While some critics might label the film as "mundane" or "meditative," I find his defiance…

    A highlight of Sundance 2024 was attending a "Hit Man" screening followed by a Q&A with Richard Linklater and Glen Powell. One could describe it as a 21st-century screwball Bonnie & Clyde (but that doesn't do it justice). The film skillfully navigates deep themes of identity while also being wildly entertaining. The audience erupted into applause during a particular scene (y’all will know which one when you see it).

    As a huge fan of Bonnie & Clyde, screwball classics, and Texas Monthly, I think HIT MAN is going down as one of my favorite films of all time.
