  Amadeus 1984

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  11/52

  A flat shot historical drama. Doesn’t sound to good on paper, does it? But, Amadeus rises above its contemporaries not just in its genre, but in the world of film as a whole.

  A film with massive themes, sweeping production design, and stunning score (courtesy of the subject of the film), yet absolutely without pretension. It’s like a Mozart work itself: there are many elements, but never any more or less than are necessary. Misplace one shot and it…

  Dead Poets Society 1989

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  10/52

  An excellent film that captures both the leaping ecstasy and desperate loneliness of taking the path less traveled. Glad I finally watched it.

  Less gay than I expected.

  -1/2 star because I kind of hated the soundtrack

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 26 May 2022

  The most emotive rocks I’ve ever seen.

  Nearly perfect movie that honestly left me speechless. The writing, the acting, the visuals and most importantly the heart of this film are truly beautiful. One of my new favorite movies ever, the biggest recommendation I could give. All I could do after was hug my mom and tell her I loved her.

  The Menu 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Jan 2023

  Immaculate performances, strong and thoughtful direction, & lovely comeuppance plots make this a fantastic watch!

  However, don’t think too hard about the plot after it’s done, it doesn’t really make all that much sense.
