  The Killers 1964

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  Curious how this stacks up against the other interpretations and the original Ernest Hemingway story. Bet they don’t have a peculiar and scene stealing performance from Clu Gulager. 
  I’ve got to talk about how the camera moves in this as well. The angles & zoom put you on edge and in a good way. 
  Also, kind of weird seeing a president in a movie and not portraying a president.

  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

  The biggest movie event of the year. Completely blown away. 
  I was lucky enough to see it on broadway years ago and this take didn’t disappoint. Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande are outstanding as Elphaba and Galinda, or should I say Glinda, respectively. 
  The Finale had my heart wanting to fly out of my chest and defy gravity. A magical and exciting experience.

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Oct 2021

  Wow 99 years old! Great score and terrifying performance (with the help of makeup/effects) from Max Schreck. It’s simple how it changes from one color to the other to show light and dark, but it works well.

  Heat 1995

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Aug 2021

  One of my all-time favorite movies. I got to see it on film with a crowd that loves it as much as I do. I really feel like this is the best it has ever sounded to me. I noticed parts of the dialogue, background sounds, and the score/soundtrack that I don’t think I’ve heard before. I also saw (for what felt like the first time) the camera movement. The “mirroring the actors path and crossing at the end” is one…
