    The Truman Show

    ★★★★½

    I’d like to hear some analysis on the creator of The Truman Show.
    The plot is horror in itself, but Christof’s attachment to Truman might scare me more. His love seems genuine at times, yet conditional. He shows a fatherly love but his attachment is rooted in power and artistic control——even endangering Truman’s life to maintain the illusion.

  • My Cousin Vinny

    My Cousin Vinny

    ★★★★★

    I’d consider this a classic in my book. A courtroom comedy that ropes you in, excites, and gives us an Italian Elle Woods. 

    Edit: Just found out Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for this role. Well deserved.

    How have I never seen this movie before. 10/10

  • Mufasa: The Lion King

    Mufasa: The Lion King

    ★★★½

    A photorealistic prequel/sequel of Mufasa’s origin story. Technology has come a long way and made for a decent watch. I honestly don’t remember the original movie, but Mufasa was painted as a strong, humble leader throughout the film. There’s alot of depth to the brother’s character and I would love to see the old film with this new context.
    PS: I went into this blindly and I knew automatically that the music was written by Lin Manuel Miranda.
