  Tender Mercies 1983

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  “I don't know why I wandered out to this part of Texas drunk, and you took me in and pitied me and helped me to straighten out, marry me. Why? Why did that happen? Is there a reason that happened? And Sonny's daddy died in the war, my daughter killed in an automobile accident. Why? See, I don't trust happiness. I never did, I never will.”

  Man, I love country music. Robert Duvall is one hell of a singer. Great film about redemption, love and loss.

  Get Rich or Die Tryin' 2005

  ★★½ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  “Show no love. Love will get you killed.”

  (Watched a few years ago and just remembered so am logging now). 

  This along with ‘8 Mile’ and ‘Straight Outta Compton’ were big contributions to my love of hip hop music as a teenager.

  Shiva Baby 2020

  ½ Watched 27 Oct 2023

  77 minutes of absolutely fucking nothing with a soundtrack and a screeching baby that’ll burst ur eardrums and camera shots that will make you feel like you have CTE. Every character in this movie is a fucking insufferable asshole. This literally could be used as a method of torture. 

  
   Also, the lead actress isn’t even Jewish.
