    Casablanca

    ★★★★

    Justifiably has its reputation. Shocked by how moving and effective this is and frustratingly timely. Lazlo’s scene brining the bar together in song is phenomenal, one of the most moving scenes I have seen in a long time

  • A Star Is Born

    A Star Is Born

    ★★★½

    For this being called A Star is Born, far too little of this is spent actually focusing on that star. Lady Gaga is wonderful and nearly anytime she started singing I teared up, but Bradley Cooper is honestly so uninteresting. The questions it poses about how Ally makes and relates to her own music is legitimately interesting but never actually engaged with.

    Let me set the scene:

    To my left: A man who fell asleep and snored through the whole movie. 

    To my right: the most squeamish man in the whole world, so much so that the first burp was worthy of a “what the fuck” and a repulsive gasp. He proceeded to cover he ears and eyes for every sex scene. 

    Me in the middle: having a grand old time.

    Smart of Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan to film the same nuclear explosions so it didn’t go to waste!
