    The Quiet Man

    ★★★

    There isn't a single man in this movie I'd describe as "quiet". Also, are Irish people ever offended by the fact that every movie set in Ireland seems to exist only to promote every possible Irish stereotype?

    Can confirm there was a hole it was definitely in the ground and that mf was HUGE 10 stars.

    Massive disappointment; samurai/yakuza zombies isn't a guaranteed great movie but you'd think it would be tough to make boring- wrong! Two hours (feels like three) of wandering through the woods repeating the same fight scene that was fun the first time but lost steam after like the 15th or 16th. There's a moment during the climax where the film goes completely silent, and was not at all surprised to hear snores throughout the theater. How I envied those who had escaped this viewing experience!

    Kinda weird for her to include a detailed sex scene in her college admission essay.

    Feast of the Seven Fishes

    ★★★

    I couldn't care less about the relationship drama and like half the characters are completely pointless, but all the Italian family Christmas stuff, with the cooking and the eating and the ball busting and the casual mob violence is fantastic, and I wish the movie focused a lot more on that. I do need someone to explain how Tony's parents, grandparents, and great grandparent are all roughly the same age.

    *Bonus points for being one of the only Pittsburgh/Pittsburgh adjacent movies I've seen that properly uses terms like "pop" and "yinz", even though the accents were way off.
