  Warrior 2011

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 12 Mar 2025

  Man I forgot how good this was. Like “one of the best sports movies of all time” good. Had been years since I’d first seen it, but gosh it captivated me from the first 5 minutes.
  9.5/10.

  Whiplash 2014

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Mar 2025

  I think I might start a Chazelle-athon after rewatching this one. Color grading, dialogue, and Hurwitz’s score are genius in so many ways. A tense watch at times but a masterclass in storytelling.
  9.6/10.

  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Nov 2022

  I’ll be the first to admit that my Marvel fatigue is real, but this one actually managed to surprise me, in a good way.
  Some of the most beautiful Marvel cinematography since Eternals.
  Ludwig’s score shines when it’s present, but the silent moments speak volumes.
  Not a perfect film, but the absolute best tribute to Chadwick Bozeman’s T’Challa that we could have asked for.
  Nice work.
  8.5/10.

  Marcel the Shell with Shoes On 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2023

  Such a bundle of positivity and genuineness. The stop motion starts off insane then only picks up steam from there, and it could easily win the Best Animated Oscar based on technical achievement alone.
  Story is a tight 85-minute adventure with the immediately-lovable Marcel, and I was sold the whole time.
  8.2/10.
