  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2000

  ★★★★ Rewatched 22 Feb 2025

  I hadn’t seen this film since middle school, I remembered it being a huge deal when I was a little kid (there was a lot of news about China in 2000 Seattle; this is a WTO joke) but wasn’t sure what to expect. First 15 minutes or so I was like wth is this why is it considered such a masterpiece, then it gets rolling.

  This movie still rips 25 years later. If people thought 60 year old Michelle Yeoh…

  The Godfather Part II 1974

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Not sure what the point of the prequel scenes was. The final scene is heartbreaking tho. Duvall carries both films imho. I do appreciate there is zero exposition in these films, you gotta be paying attention.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2025 1

  Great performances from the two leads, maybe I would have been more into it if I saw it in the theater instead of at home with Hulu ad breaks, but it didn’t live up to my expectations.
