  The Royal Tenenbaums 2001

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  Def top three Anderson with Rushmore and Grand Budapest Hotel, not sure I could really pick a definitive favorite. The wardrobe in this movie is ridiculous and the scene where Royal tells Ethel he's dying is really funny. One of the modern era's great one-liner films. RIP Gene

  The Act of Killing 2012

  Rewatched 19 Mar 2025

  I’m not gonna like wax poetic about it or anything, not sure this is really the place for it, but I will say that I’ve never seen a movie like this one and it is deeply disturbing

  Godzilla Minus One 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025 2

  This was so good. Watched the black and white version. Beautiful. Reminds me that large scale action productions can tackle tough shit in stride. Liked the ending

  The Conversation 1974

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 03 Mar 2025 3

  For me, this is as good as it gets 

  This time around I especially enjoyed the slow panning around the room. In the hotel especially, when the camera starts right up on the TV with the flinstones on then ends up on Hackman’s face. Beautiful
