  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2025

  thinking about the nostalgia of youth, the picturesqueness of presence, how you can be catipulted into homelessness or worse on a dime when systems are built against you. thinking about the way things are remembered and the way things are told. thinking about hugging people tight. thinking about evil individuals reaping what they sow. thinking about hope. hoping.

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jul 2023

  had a blast! hahahaha.

  i will never give up on christopher nolan and this is why — the dedication involved in his movies, the heart that comes through in each one of them, is just stunning.

  a technical marvel that deserved all 3 of its hours and my favorite biopic i’ve seen in ages. an excellent cast, too, although cillian murphy could’ve carried the whole thing on his own. such a harrowing journey that solidified its significance in its last moments. i’ll be thinking about this one for a while……

  Dog Day Afternoon 1975

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Nov 2022 2

  rly enjoyed this!! Al Pacino is theeeeee star of his time and i’m so glad his talent is memorialized across many great films. i was kept on my toes the whole time and couldn’t believe this was based on a true story. a 70s banger, progressive for its time, and a classic for a reason. watch!!
