    There Will Be Blood

    ★★★★½

    There was, indeed, blood.

    There Will Be Blood tells a captivating story about dualities. Jumping through time at the turn of the 20th century, Daniel Plainview’s journey mirrors that of American enterprise, rotten to the core with the desire to assimilate everything and everyone into an ever-growing hoard, a concept that is repeatedly put at odds with Eli/Paul Sunday’s devout and righteous fervor that captivated humankind for centuries before the Industrial Revolution, when man became disillusioned with faith and Sunday sold…

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    ★★★★

    Having rewatched this movie to prepare for the sequel, it’s charm and energy remain excellent even several years later. I have always firmly believed that the superhero genre’s cartoony aesthetic is practically tailor-made for the medium of animation, and Spiderverse takes that idea and just runs away with it.

    Pulp Fiction

    ★★★★★

    An undisputed classic, Pulp Fiction is another example of Tarantino’s flawless execution of the craft of filmmaking. Its action is so incredibly minimalist, yet gripping due to the perfect pacing and editing. Its writing is not excessively clever, yet thought provoking and often very funny due to perfect thematic subtext and delivery. Every single line in every single shot in every single scene falls perfectly into place. In a word, it is the quintessence of Quentin Tarantino.
