  Midnight in Paris 2011

  ★★ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  This was an order of magnitude more cringe inducing and heavy handed than I remember. And way too Woody Allen! It’s like the only purpose of every Parisian woman was to be an effusive, sycophantic audience for the main character’s musings. 

  I used to love this movie for its yearning, romantic ennui, but watching it now just feels like a blunt fan fiction that’s snobbish more than authentic. 

  I do love Owen Wilson tho. I hold him faultless still.

  In the Mood for Love 2000

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jun 2024 1

  I will never recover from this?? Agonizing. Real. What is real? How would you know? How would two people know if they feel something real? What do you owe to someone who’s betrayed you? Can solace turn into anything else? What’s worth risking? 

  This was my first Wong Kar-Wai and I’m hooked.

  Rear Window 1954

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 21 Oct 2024

  A perfect movie. It was just long enough since I saw this the first time that I couldn’t remember how it ended, so I was on the edge of my seat all over again!
