    The Great Gatsby

    ★★★½

    I never read The Great Gatsby in high school and will continue living in sweet bliss not knowing how Baz Luhrmann probably disrespected it. I had a good time, and the editing is SO tame compared to Moulin Rouge 👎 and Elvis 👎. Praying I still like Romeo + Juliet whenever I get to rewatching that.

    A Real Pain

    ★★★★★

    I love stories that follow the nuance of relationships and emotions. A slice of life, with the history of David and Benji coming through in their actions, their dialogue, the way they process the world. Very beautiful movie and incredible acting.

    Zoolander

    ★★★★

    "Without Derek Zoolander, modeling wouldn't be what it is today." Donald Trump has always believed fictional characters are real.

    Also me: "I wasn't like every other kid who dreams about being an astronaut. I was always more interested, in uh, what bark was made out of on a a tree" 

    Other memorable lines:

    -Will Ferrell: "Ahhhhhh"
    -"Are you worried about Hansel?" "Not as worried as I am about Gretel."
    -"I'm sorry Maury, I'm not a gymnist." So real Derek, don't…

    The Monkey

    ★★★★

    Debated on a 7, but this movie honestly was unexpectedly fun and a big step up from Longlegs in terms of a cohesive story and a funky gimmick. I'm selectively into horror, so a horror-comedy narrated Christmas Story style was a good time. Main complaint was that the pacing could use a bit more tweaking as parts definitely  dragged.
