  How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Feb 2025

  Way back in 2019 (which I thought was 2 years ago…it’s not), my Grandfather had to stay with us before his final days towards the end of that very same year. It was an odd chain of events as he was a relatively healthy man who was able to care for himself and drive about 600 miles up to Canada to see a long distance friend that he had. Until about that final year. It came sudden, and you just…

  The Tree of Life 2011

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Feb 2021 1

  So I guess I can’t really talk about this film without going very deep and personal so here we go. Going into this film I basically only knew that the reviews are all over the place, and it’s not for everyone. And I do agree. This film isn’t for everyone.

  All We Imagine as Light 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  I don’t even know how to describe this, but I’m upset yet also smiling through it all. It’s a lot of different things. Goes to unexpected places but ends in an immensely powerful way. Yeah this is going to stick.

  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2024 2

  As a whole, this is elevated tremendously by its direction, sound design, and truly dour tone that it made everything else that I didn’t like so much bearable by the end. 

  Perkins plays this whole thing almost like the Country is on life support. There’s no light here. Monotone, and everyone is grasping for something to cling to the whole way through. This may just be one of the more…depressing things I’ve seen this years but I respect it for…
