  Memories of Murder 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Watched w TJ. Great cinematography and investigative style (my favorite genre). Very film noir vibes and certain scenes are very well shot and set up for suspense. The field shots with the wheat are still stuck with me. 
  The subtle 4th wall break at the end was great.

  Badlands 1973

  ★★ Watched 26 Jan 2025

  Good acting, good visuals kinda weird. Didn’t really like the romanticization of runaway bandit murderers.

  Loved the voiceover, the lightheartedness and placidity with all of the violence lends to great contrast and adds surreal conflict to how you feel.

  ★★★ Watched 06 Jan 2025

  Felt dragged on and honestly the two sons felt rushed and the conclusion was kinda out of nowhere.

  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  More of a period time piece montage of someone’s life in curated sections rather than a biopic but parts were still enjoyable and obviously the music and acting were great. Timmy and Elle Fanning were good.
