  It was stoppable. 

  5 Stars for keeping me engaged, 3 for everything else, especially the writing….

  Bella 2006

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Oct 2024

  One of the best, and by far the most powerful movie I have ever seen. Too many poignant moments to count in a film that embodies the idea of showing you something and not telling you.

  Finding Forrester 2000

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jul 2023

  I tried watching a man called Otto recently with Tom Hanks. It’s a story about a recluse who has no family and is living alone who is then drawn out by others and shown the joy of living again. This movie is that, except I actually finished this one. A beautiful story that says something about love, friendship, mentorship, basketball, and writing, and those are just the obvious ones. Definitely worth a watch and rewatch. Also Sean Connery is a 10/10 curmudgeon.

  The Boy and the Heron 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Sep 2024 1

  Far and away the most beautiful Miyazaki movie I have ever see. It feels like every other shot should be framed.
