𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘳𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘸 is going to fly under the radar for the Oscars and other award shows even though it shouldn't. The story and legacy of the Von Erich family is so tough to fully capture, and there's definitely some other aspects that were not included. If you watch the film and then read more about the family, though, it's easy to understand why certain things were left out from a movie standpoint. Regardless, from the top all the way…

Ham on Rye 2019
It's hard to say right now if 𝘏𝘢𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘺𝘦 is the best coming-of-age film I've seen, but it's certainly in the conversation if nothing else.
The visual aesthetic blew me away almost immediately, blending evocative cinematography with a nostalgic color palette that feels dreamlike and, at the same time, rooted in reality. The musical score is carefully curated, with each note, each lyric, each melody enhancing the emotional nuances of the narrative and immersing the audience in the world…

High Fidelity 2000
My top 5 quotes from my first watch of 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ 𝐹𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦:
1. "Very nice, Rob. A sly declaration of new classic status slipped into a list of old safe ones. Very pussy! Couldn't you be any more obvious than that, Rob? How about, I don't know, the Beatles? How about fucking… fucking Beethoven? Track one, side one of the Fifth Symphony. How can someone who has no interest in music own a record store?"
2. "Did I listen to pop…

More than a Game 2008
I've been reading 𝐿𝑒𝐵𝑟𝑜𝑛 by Jeff Benedict, and this doc (which I had never heard of) was brought up, so I wanted to check it out for the first time. 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎 𝐺𝑎𝑚𝑒 works well as a nice companion piece to the first 13 chapters of the book. It doesn't dive super deep, but it still works. While you're reading, you learn a lot about the lifelong bonds LeBron, Dru III, Sian, Willie, and Romeo formed on and off…

No Hard Feelings 2023
Percy sending the Buick head-on into a tree and then almost hitting people on the beach with his new car were both great callbacks to when Matthew Broderick (Percy's dad in the film) drifted into the wrong lane and collided head-on with another car—killing the driver and the passenger instantly—and was only fined $175 for it.
Anyway, 𝘕𝘰 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 was a lot of fun. Ton of one-liners, exchanges, and other moments that had me cracking up, and there's actual growth out of the two main characters which you don't always see in a rom-com.

Oppenheimer 2023
It’s been said before but I’ll never get over how Josh Peck was the one to push the button. Best casting decision for the entire film.
