  Heretic 2024

  Hugh Grant DESTROYS religion with facts and logic and CREEP by RADIOHEAD

  I liked a lot of the ideas more than the execution, especially in the first half. Then it sort of devolved into something a little less interesting.

  As a former missionary, the Mormon references definitely added to my enjoyment. Without them I would've found it less interesting.

  Seen at A24's special advance screening in SLC hosted by Whitney Rose and Whitney Leavitt!

  Probably my second favorite story where a guy named Joel and a reckless but ambitious girl travel across a war-torn, post-apocalyptic America

  Manchester by the Sea 2016

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  After a longer than usual break from watching movies consistently, this was a great return. So heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. It reminded me of Little Women and The Last of Us, which I both love. But anyway I really liked this. Casey Affleck and the rest of the cast were amazing. Life can be tragic and unpredictable and we just have to keep living.
