  Love & Other Drugs 2010

  ★★★★ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025

  The combined charm of Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal is almost too much to take. This film was in serious danger of exploding from having to hold it all in.

  That ending dream-like sequence was beautiful. Monty’s dad was a real one.

  This was a hell of a watch to end my weekend on and I am more than excited to see Brandon Cronenberg’s next film, Infinity Pool, when it comes out in 2023.

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2024

  A religious experience for film lovers everywhere.

  I’m not sure that I have ever had a viewing experience quite like Dune: Part Two. Denis took one of the single grandest achievements in sci-fi filmmaking in Dune and somehow blew it completely out of the water both visually and conceptually. The scale of this film was something that I couldn't have prepared for, and somehow, I have a feeling it will only escalate during the Holy War.

  Chalamet's character, Paul, has…
