  Eraserhead 1977

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  Ok… I mean, I heard this movie was weird, but I don’t think it’s possible for me or anyone else to go into it with expectations that match the result because this film is truly bizarre. Eraserhead is definitely the most abstract film I’ve seen and probably one of the most aimless in terms of story. I’ve been wanting to get into David Lynch films for a while but, unfortunately, never had the conviction to do so until his passing.…

  Babylon 2022

  Watched 31 Jul 2024 2

  I don’t know what to give this film. It seemed to often be tugging between a critique of film and a celebration of it. I don’t know if I loved it or if I hated it. I do know one thing, though: I love movies. This movie is a declaration of that, if nothing else.

  Jaws 1975

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Jaws really lived up to the hype I’ve heard from so many people. It’s definitely one of my top three films we’ve watched in class, after It’s a Wonderful Life and Double Indemnity, of course. The film's simplicity is one of its strongest aspects—I don’t think this film has a single unnecessary scene, piece of dialogue, or moment. It’s definitely one of the most focused films I’ve ever seen in terms of narrative streamlining. Don’t get me wrong, layered films…
