  I like different music for different things. I like to listen to Rock. I like to dance to Jazz.
  

  What do you like to do with Prokofiev?

  Fuck.
  

  this miserable tale of man vs self chronicles a pitiful composer’s sad case of “male midlife crisis”, and damn is it funny. maybe one of the most subtly hilarious things i’ve watched in a while, the timing throughout is so brilliant and natural. some movies just have such a warm tone to…

  Rent 2005

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  watched at vidiots. perhaps one of my favorite cinema experiences ever. just straight theater kids and die hards singing and dancing and laughing and crying. goes to show that no amount of words on a screen could ever amount to the real life connections people have with art. that’ll always trump any critical essay or review.

  that being said, here’s my opinion lol. the musical numbers here are fucking incredible. the vocal performances… AHHHHHH. every song either made me move…

  Dìdi (弟弟) 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Aug 2024

  i’ve never been more destroyed by a movie’s runtime. i wanted this to continue forever. absolutely beautiful i don’t even know what to say. i need a thesaurus.

  i appreciate every tear that fell for this extremely touching story and these incredibly real characters. i loved the complexity of these relationships. my heart burned for every twist and turn within the mother-son and sister-brother dynamics. just so real. moved me so much. 

  this is such an authentic coming of age…

  Opus 2025

  Watched 13 Mar 2025

  maggot brain needle drop open? yesssss

  malkovich my man, my man. absolutely sinister duo him and ayo. this cult thriller avoids some cliches, and falls victim to a few others, but all in all is such a fun watch. the ending felt pretty anticlimactic but i don’t know what angle i would’ve rathered.

  feels like there was an attempt made to make a jordan peele level psychological thriller but the mark was missed. the story just wasn’t tight enough. it’s gonna be interesting seeing this happen for years to come though.
