  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Rewatched 17 Mar 2025 4

  So I rewatched this movie and my previous review was like “I’m gonna keep this short” but it’s time. I haven’t dropped an essay in a hot second so I’m going to.

  I recognize yet again I may be the odd person out. I recognize that due to my aversion to sexual content I may not be the target audience for this movie. However, I still DO enjoy it and I think it goes handle the themes of that subject…

  The Hudsucker Proxy 1994

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  Was in LA for one week and somehow miraculously my pick won the wheel. This movie consistently is just so funny and reminds me how much I love writing truth be told. Glad to enjoy it again amongst friends.

  Saturday Night 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Oct 2024 5

  It’s essay time - but who’s surprised? I’ve been waiting for this movie for a damn minute, and it did not disappoint.

  This movie was absolutely brilliant. The acting, pacing, camera work, and everything worked so seamlessly together to put the audience exactly where everyone involved in the production was in 1975. I love it when there’s real time within the media, and the constant reminder to both Lorne and the audience of how little time they had left served…

  Palm Springs 2020

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 May 2024 2

  What the fuck? This movie was so good. Yes, the “time loop” trope has been done a million times, but the benefit of the character’s attitudes towards it, the comedic elements, and the overarching storyline really resonated with me.

  I appreciated how this movie explored themes of existentialism and was comedic throughout, and had such a perfect balance of both. So so good.

  And of course, Andy samberg killed as usual. JK Simmons killed as usual. Great movie.
