  • The Brutalist

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★★

    I heard nothing but amazing things about The Brutalist and was really looking forward to checking it out, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to due to the film's very limited screenings. However, I checked one day and it finally started playing somewhere closer than 100 miles to me, and I got to see it in Imax. And this film absolutely lives up to the hype. The Brutalist is a massive and towering film that feels almost…

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Update: The more I sit with this film, the more I like it. I think its negative reception is truly fascinating because, in a way, it ties into what the film is trying to say. I can't say I've ever seen that before and it's an incredibly bold choice. People are and will hate this, but on its own terms, it's one of the most fascinating comic book films ever made.

    Joker: Folie à Deux was one of my most…

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★

    While I had some doubts, I was looking forward to Captain America: Brave New World. All I wanted from it was a more grounded, political thriller MCU story that committed to that tone more than previous entries, and I definitely got that here. But there's a lot of weird stuff in this film as well. Namely, this film's plot heavily relies on The Incredible Hulk, a film I haven't watched in at least 6 years, so I was a bit…

    Fortnite V Apple

    I made this when I was 15 completely by myself and I was bored today and decided to put it on Letterboxd. Objectively not very good but I had a lot of fun making it, it kept me entertained during the pandemic, and I have lots of fond memories of it.

  • Barbarian

    Barbarian

    ★★★★½

    The trailer for Barbarian is one of the most intriguing I've ever seen. It revealed absolutely nothing about the plot, but it showed just enough that I just had to see what it was about. So I was really looking forward to the film, and now that I've seen it, I can confirm that this is pretty wild. I'm not going to reveal any plot details or spoilers and I think that you should go into this completely blind knowing…
