This is. . . my 1000th movie logged on Letterboxd!! *edit* AND THEN IT WON BEST PICTURE!
I thought about crossing off one of my highly anticipated films on my watchlist, making catching something new at the theater, but Anora was showing in my local cinema's Best Picture showcase. I thought, seeing if of the year's most highly acclaimed films, in a theater, with a pretty full audience, was a very fitting way for me to hit the 1000 movies…
That twist at the end being at a Masquerade Ball. . . amazing. Mission Impossible wishes.
Yeah yeah yeah Tarantino, Kill Bill reference. But really this oozes the most influence on his career. If you are a Tarantino fan, watch this. Watch this if you're not. I've also not seen any live action movies that screams, "make this an anime," as loud as this.
Action was really good. It was smothered in 70s filmmaking, but almost entirely in a good…
Definitely one of the best title card drops ever.
Aaaaaand this is where Tarantino got his other inspiration from? 🦶👣
Okay there are some wicked long take sequences in this film. These villains also seem more villainy in their current state than the first film. Less personal though, also much less blood. Still, this movie does not deserve the massive ratings drop off it has.
Some of this was shot better and done in a more exciting fashion I thought,…

Everything involving the male cop partner was annoying. I didn't mind the extra 20 minute ending, but not what had to happen for it to occur.
Suspension of disbelief only goes so far and they really push it.
Amber and Jack though. That works even though it became borderline toxic.
Jack Quaid wipes a mirror in this movie and he really looked like his dad the second time.
It's been taking me a while to review films these past couple weeks. This one, though, needed to sit with me.
Movies that make me cry always get a boost in score. I hadn't cried in a theater in a long, long time. It got me multiple times.
Guardians Vol. 3. was the perfect conclusion for these characters. It had the best balance of humor to emotional punch of any MCU film recently. Truly excellent I think.
Is this a…
Hey this movie is pretty damn great.
For years I'd said I loved Gladiator. I'd seen it on cable TV multiple times, I knew the ending, I recognize the famous lines and scenes in the Coliseum.
Wrong. Well, all of that was true. I'd had just never seen the first hour of the movie! What?!?!? So this started as a reach of a movie I really liked and quickly became a first time watch that I was thrilled to be…
