  The Big Short 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  It feels like the 2008 financial crisis happened just so McKay could make this film. Vice and Don't Look Up haven't been able to live up to the precedent established here. Fantastic casting and I just love Carell in this role. Just a sharp movie all around.

  Heat 1995

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2024

  Still the best crime thriller ever made. I don't love the run time but it accomplishes a lot. Impeccable sound design.

  Trainspotting 1996

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Dec 2024

  How can a movie so perfectly portray, critique, and redeem the concept of disenfranchisement in 94 minutes? Absolute masterclass.

  Stillwater 2021

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Dec 2024

  I didn't expect to be so completely moved by this fucking Matt Damon movie, but I should've expected nothing less from Tom McCarthy. How you go from directing "2012" to this, I will never understand, but the young man cooked. Nearly gave this a 5/5.
