  Roman Holiday 1953

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  My first Audrey Hepburn film. Had no idea she was so adorable. Peck was very good too. Roman Holiday is funny and charming and quite sincere in the end.

  Frailty 2001

  ★★★★ Rewatched 10 Mar 2025

  Don't think the last twist is needed but Frailty remains a thematically interesting "supernatural" thriller regarding religious fanaticism and its effect on a family. Young McConaughey was solid in his role and Bill Paxton impresses as actor/director.

  Her 2013

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2014 1

  I was hoping this highly anticipated film would meet my expectations and I'm happy to say that it surely did. Even a group of loud talking senior citizens sitting behind me couldn't distract me enough from loving this film. Well written, well acted. Phoenix and Adams were great and Scarlett blew me away with her voice acting. Funny and thought-provoking, it should stay my #1 movie of 2013.

  Insomnia 2002

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Aug 2014

  Got to do two things here. Watch the only Nolan film I haven't seen and also one of the many Robin Williams films I haven't seen. This was a little better than I expected. Pacino, Swank and Williams put on very good performances in this murder thriller.

  The story was different enough to be interesting but nothing super original or exciting. Still, it wasn't boring and it is worth a watch, especially if you want to see Williams in an unusual role.
