May December 2023
Well, here we are, at the time where I have something to say (I mentioned this when I first saw the movie as I unable to properly articulate my words). Watching this time around with subtext at the front of my mind was riveting. I won’t go over every detail, just the ones that stood out to me and provide little vignettes into these scenes.
Side note: May December is a movie directed by a gay man and upon this viewing…

Blue 1993
An infinite possibility becoming tangible.
Blue is my favorite color. It’s the color of my eyes, the color of the sky, and the color of the deep oceans and lakes nearby. Blue has forever been a part of my life. I share a birthday with my great-uncle, who I never met, as he passed away from AIDS, but his memory has been something which occupies.

As expected, Rob Pat was exceptional as Mickey, delivering a pitch perfect performance in each variation of…

Millennium Mambo 2001
Falling further in love with the Taiwanese New Wave movement, I’ve arrived at the point of watching Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s work, Millenum Mambo. As anyone will tell you, the opening shot is nothing short of fantastic. But as I will tell you, it’s an all timer, worthy of anyone’s attention that's able to give it. In those few minutes we are introduced to the neon cinematography, timely score, subtle script & the essence of this story. Told from a future that we don’t…
