    10 Things I Hate About You

    ★★★★★

    “But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you, not even a little bit, not even at all.” 😭

    Stone-cold classic and one of my faves, forever and always.

    Heath’s smile can still light up the room ❤️

  • Brink!

    Brink!

    ★★★★★

    “Yeah, I wanna win. But no matter what, win or lose, at the end of the day, I’m not you… so it’s still a good day.”

    One of my favorite lines everrrrrr.

    I ❤️ von Detten (though Christina Vidal is arguably the best actor of the bunch).

    Considering going through every DCOM one day and officially ranking them, but this will always be my #1 😊🛹

    Black Mass

    ★★★½

    I often struggle fully connecting with Scott Cooper films, but they’re typically solidly crafted with a strong ensemble. 

    This is might be the best Depp performance from the past 15 years or so, though I’m left wanting a little more out of it.

    Also feel like much of the supporting cast is underutilized, particularly the great Jesse Plemons, who opens the film and then disappears for a majority of it.

    Still probably the best Cooper film I’ve seen.

  • Adolescence

    Adolescence

    ★★★★

    Tough watch as a dad, but really terrific performances, especially with each episode being a oner. Hadn’t realized it was from the Boiling Point director, so that makes sense.

    Episodes 1 and 3 are probably my favorite just because Owen Cooper is so good, but Stephen Graham got me tears flowing in the final episode.

    I do feel like we’re missing an episode, though…

    What can I say? I’m a sucker for Christmas films from my youth.

    Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story

    ★★★★

    “Billy had a wee hole in his heart.” 😭 

    I ❤️ me an otter, but that poor doggy looked so neglected ☹️

    Interesting choice having the somewhat resentful wife narrate much of the film. 

    Gorgeous cinematography. Probably helps to live somewhere naturally beautiful, but still a visual feast!
