  Memento 2000

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Jun 2023

  The Not Movie Part Is Great:

  Had dinner at our friends, they suggested we watch Memento when I said I hadn't seen it.

  Food was great. Potatoes made in duck fat is the way to make them.

  Movie was fine. Story was engaging.

  Acting was good. Felt like a Matrix reunion.

  The performances sell the era right down to their mannerisms. Not…

  The Revenant 2015

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2021 1

  Worst Vacation Ever:

  lets get the gimmicky talk out of the way. the bear scene. honestly, not that bad. yes, super gnarly, but theres a bear scene in 2014's "backcountry", absolutely ruthless. nothing will top the besr scene in that movie.

  now, the movie itself, its really good!

  -story is nowhere near as bad as i was preparing myself for. yes, it's not your traditional story. but it has an inspiring message on human resilience, is effective at what it…
