annoyingly pretentious and impossibly basic at the same time

10 Things I Hate About You 1999
okay, sure, the characters are a checklist of 90s movie stereotypes, the plot itself is pretty silly, and heath ledger’s accent takes you on a mysterious journey from seattle to sydney midway through every sentence…
that being said, i watched this movie with a big grin on my face the entire time. the script is what elevates this movie — the dialogue is hilarious and feels natural, which is oftentimes a huge gripe i have with movies set in high…

The Grand Budapest Hotel 2014
second wes anderson film i’ve ever watched, after fantastic mr. fox. and while i did really like fox, this is the movie where i really got just why people revere wes so much.

all around, very good movie that’s aged very well.
