    The 400 Blows

    ★★★★★

    I felt so much for this character and was just completely immersed into the film wondering what could happen. It seems like in society we have this sort of negative connotation with escapism but I think that’s exactly what a good film should achieve for an audience. This is a prime example and is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. The level of acting from Jean-Pierre Léaud for his age is truly incredible, something to be studied. The…

    Le Samouraï

    ★★★★½

    One of my fav film scores, and one of my fav final frames of all time. The camera placement and set design of that moment is perfect. A thousand words in a single moment. 

    The instrumentation choices made for the film’s main theme combined with Alain Delon’s performance is just so organic and genuinely cool through the whole runtime. Love the theme

    ★★★

    The James Bond x Jackie Chan x Burt Reynolds mashup goes crazy

    Also Bill Murray’s Golfing Umbrella Hat is just next level fashion 

    Time to rewatch The Last Dance now

    caught so many new visual and auditory details from this theater experience. the passion and attention to detail is so apparent from Raimi, Elfman, Maguire, the whole crew. that level of care in this trilogy makes it my personal favorite live action take on the character

    My friend described this movie as feeling like the Panera Bread art style and he is absolutely right 

    Just going to duplicate my Holdovers review: “cozy and phenomenal.” 


    also the way the natural or artificial light is sort of smeared across the screen through the film grain is such a specific aesthetic, Sideways is a really cool film to look at, and feel.
