  Apache Gold 1963

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  I had to watch this film for my Sophomore German class during our “German perspectives of the Wild West” unit, but I would have been happy to watch it of my own accord.

  The movie is wonderfully “Wild West,” with just enough zany characters (including Sam, ‘if I’m not mistaken’ lol) alongside several noble and sadly, oddly cold, figures.

  That being said, Apache Gold is still boring and lacking depth. To start off with, there’s only 2 musical movements that…

  Asteroid City 2023

  ★½ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  Too artsy even for my tastes. 

  Can anyone please tell me what the point of this movie is, and WTF “you can’t wake up if you don’t fall asleep” or whatever that creepy ah sequence means?

  Whiplash 2014

  ½ Rewatched 24 Mar 2023

  Terrible movie. I actually hate whiplash I ironically not only because it hurts to watch but also because it is completely unrealistic and should be banned by the United Nations in all countries.

  Inside Out 2 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Jul 2024

  MAJOR Disclaimer: I did watch this in German

  Ngl I fell asleep halfway through this one. However, I was only asleep for an estimated 5-10 minutes, so I still feel qualified to rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.

  As we all know, Pixar has not exactly been on top of things since the 2010s, when they basically stopped making originals, and this film kind of conforms to that, with meh character development and some new (possibly marketable?) characters

  TLDR: would prob watch again in English with friends, would most likely fall asleep again
