  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  This was really quite good. The best way that I’ve seen it described is “subtle but deep”. The acting from Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg is top class. I found the story to be very original and touching. I found the dynamics between the group members to be really interesting to follow, as well as each member’s different personality and complexities. One of the most interesting things about this movie is that there is not one single big or really…

  Inglourious Basterds 2009

  ★ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  I don’t understand the hype behind this movie. About a month ago, I watched 85% of it then went to bed because it was THAT uninterested. I finally got around to finishing the last 15% and my opinion hasn’t changed. I can understand that you either love or hate this movie. Personally, I hated it. This is for two main reasons.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  I’m going to separate my review based on the pre-intermission and post-intermission sections of the film because I felt completely different about each.

  The Bloody Hundredth 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Dec 2024

  Solid complement to Masters of the Air. Provides more insight into the actual airmen who were in Masters of the Air. Really interesting and fascinating interviews, first hand accounts and real footage of the hundredth bomb squad. You should definitely watch Masters of the Air before you watch this. There wasn’t really anything new introduced that wasn’t in the drama so it was a tad bit repetitive. Overall, I found it to be really interesting and I think anyone who enjoyed the drama would enjoy it too. Shout out to Rosie.
