  The Lobster 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster is a bit confusing at times on a first watch, but I still enjoyed it. Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz are amazing, and the movie is pretty funny. I think I need to rewatch it to fully understand the story and its themes, but I feel like I could understand the “big picture.” 

  Rating: 4 stars, will watch again.

  Red Rocket 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  While the main character/film is problematic, I really enjoyed Red Rocket. It is not a “feel-good” movie, but an interesting character study. Simon Rex did a phenomenal job playing the narcissistic main character, Mikey. Red Rocket is also gorgeous to look at, and it made the small town feel real to me (like I had been there, etc.). 

  Red Rocket, while problematic, is still a well-made  and interesting film from Sean Baker that I will be coming back to at some point. 

  Rating: 5 stars.

  mid90s 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  mid90s is short, but very entertaining. Sunny Suljic is great as Stevie, and I really felt like I was transported back to 90s LA for 85 minutes.

  I really liked this one. Looking forward to coming back to it soon.

  A Beautiful Mind 2001

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Not too many notes here. Russell Crowe’s performance as John Nash is incredible. I will admit that this film is the definition of “Oscar-bait,” but it is still well-made in my opinion. 

  I would definitely recommend A Beautiful Mind to anyone. 

  Rating: 4 stars.
