  American Beauty 1999

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  The living room with the couch that you aren't allowed to sit on is triggering for me. This is very much a time capsule movie that is hard to contextualize outside of that time. Being in High School when this came out there are some very relatable aspects, but there is some stuff that doesn't age well at all. Mid-life crisis in 1999: The Motion Picture.

  Gladiator II 2024

  ★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Gladiator 2: Son of Gladiator. Great spectacle with some interesting stuff but didn't hold me the way the original did. The Lucious/Pedro fight was probably my favorite part and it felt so much smaller but so personal and good.

  So much fun on the big screen with all ages of people in the audience wearing pajamas.
