  Mulholland Drive 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jul 2017

  How does one even begin to describe all that is this film? I decided to go into Mulholland Drive pretty blind. No trailers, no reviews. What an amazing decision that was. Mulholland Drive is one of those films that just washes over you and completely captivates you for two and a half hours. The film includes bits and pieces of every genre imaginable, and Lynch brings out the best of all worlds. The way he crawls around every corner and…

  Blue Velvet 1986

  It's a strange world

  Indeed it is, especially the world of a Lynch film. The world of Blue Velvet is certainly no exception. The depictions of suburbia, of a small town, of the girl next door, all shrouded in the classic Lynchian dream-like state and visceral cinematography.

  The Card Counter 2021

  ★★ Watched 05 Sep 2021

  Not for me. I feel like this movie has no idea what it truly wants to be. Meandering through the gambling scenes and the not-so-believable complexity of the characters (to be fair: Oscar Isaac does give it his all and bring a lot to this performance). 

  The whole thing to me was just boring, and lacked any depth. Some folks will really like this, just not I.
