  Moonstruck 1987

  ★★★½ Rewatched 21 Mar 2025

  after years and years of my first time watching this, I gave it another go. the first time around (clouded by my expectation for what a rom com SHOULD be) I strongly disliked this movie. 
  however, I’m glad I gave it a second try because I LOVED IT. Cher is fabulous, and her fast paced relationship with an erratic Nicholas cage was hilarious. Her family was so funny!!

  Marie Antoinette 2006

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Feb 2025

  on the journey of Oscar nominees, here is the Brutalist! I went in apprehensive, aware that it was long enough for an intermission. But, I’m happy to say that the length actually was not an issue for me, because the story was good enough to keep you there. If you’re gonna have a long movie, you gotta be sure to have a reason. And it did! 
  The story was interesting from the start, giving a great picture of immigration post…
