  Jackie 2016

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Can’t say I’ve ever seen a DP knock it out of the park on this level that wasn’t working with Christopher Nolan. The blending of real footage and what they shot for this movie is nearly seamless. I’ve also never seen production design this good either

  The Gorge 2025

  ★★★ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  Low key just an Annihilation rip-off with rom-com aspects. More than a couple corny scenes but interesting plot overall

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Feb 2025

  Probably been 7 or 8 years since I last saw this. Love it more now than maybe ever. One of the most beautiful movies ever made

  There Will Be Blood 2007

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  Paul Thomas Anderson really gotta be one of the most underrated directors ever. The way the music builds tension through relatively mundane moments in this movie, sometimes to no avail, just keeps you on your toes the entire time. Certain shots in this movie literally look like watercolor paintings, Elswit crushes just about every single movie he’s in as a DP.

  Only gripe was that Paul Dano playing twin brothers was not very clearly laid out initially
