    Schindler's List

    ★★★★★

    The greatest movie Steven Spielberg has ever made. Career-best performances from Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, who was robbed come Oscar time. Ben Kingsley providing excellent support as Itzhak Stern. Everything Spielberg had done led him to this moment, and he did the material, and Schindler's achievement, more than enough justice. Shattering, unforgettable, and still as important today as it was over 30 years ago.

    It's nothing groundbreaking, but seeing rich assholes get theirs at the hands of two pissed-off unicorns is a delight. Will Poulter steals the movie every time he's on screen, and in case you're wondering if Ari Aster was involved: a head gets crushed onscreen. OF COURSE Ari Aster was involved (as a producer).

    ★★★★½

    If I had to use two words to describe Tom Green at his peak, they would be "human shitpost."

    Steven Spielberg owned the year 1993, and this film was the first reason why. The sequence where Drs. Grant and Sattler see the dinosaurs for the first time is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history, and when it's coupled with John Williams' unforgettable score... come on. A perfect mixture of thrills, humor, and horror that was king of the box office in the summer of that year... but Steven still had one more film in his belt. And it was the most important film he'd ever make.
