  Hot Fuzz 2007

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025 1

  One of the perfect movies. When I got my first part time job at a call center at 16 and spent my first paycheck almost exclusively on DVDs, I bought this and watched it like every day for two weeks. Such a boy fantasy rendered perfectly.

  Hustle & Flow 2005

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Terrence Howard isn’t NOT doing Boomhauer, but he and everyone are incredible, and this fucking thing got me choked up to “Whoop That Trick.” If that’s not movie magic, I don’t know what is.

  The Menu 2022

  Had a reaction to this that most people I know had to Don’t Look Up. 

  Thinks it’s so punk rock, but there’s nothing punk rock about this!

  The Family Stone 2005

  Watched 24 Dec 2023

  Starts as a prank movie that runs the gamut from romcom to family drama then back to slapstick and sticks the landing hard. Such a sweet movie, and really knows how to use its ensemble. Was wondering if this would be a classic for ME — it is!
