    It's a Wonderful Life

    ★★★★★

    You see George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?

    It's easy to lose focus on what matters most in life.

    We all have days where we're like George Bailey. We think about how crappy our current situation is, we worry what we're doing won't meet our overarching goals, and we become lost in the grueling grind of daily life.

    We lose focus on the present.

    King Kong

    ★★★★

    Kong must've seen Mulholland Drive and was like "I can fix her."

    Even though it's 3+ hours, it doesn't feel like it. It's incredibly well-paced and plenty of action to go around. The CGI is phenomenal for the time and only devolves in certain chase scenes.

    ★★★★½

    Mr. Lynch, I'm just a dumb stupid idiot who watches movies Letterboxed tells me are good. You give me too much credit that I'll ever understand what you're trying to say, but damn it do you look so good when you try.

    Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration

    ★★★

    I'm happy they gave up using that Beast costume halfway through. I don't remember Belle doing a guitar solo at the end of the original, but I'm all for it!

    Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout

    I just walked two miles through a cornfield. Let's play some football.

    I don't know why this three-minute video is on Letterboxd.

    It'd be better if I knew the politics behind why they made this....but it features some of the worst tackling I've ever seen as well as some pretty garbage audio. I shouldn't give this any more thought than they did...

    ...BUT WHY IS IT ON LETTERBOXD?!?
