Star Wars 1977
The story is so great, the world they built is so vivid and believable, it wears its references (primarily a lot of 2001-esque design) on its sleeve and does them justice.
It feels so organic. Watching this makes me realize how much other sci-fi movies get wrong. Every other sci-fi movie I've ever seen spends all of its opening establishing just how cool the world is. This film just feels like any other 1970s coming of age movie that just…

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 1986
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I am disturbed by how much I liked this.
One of my biggest criticisms of my own reviews is how often I use the phrase "I feel" or "it feels like". I'm not one of these people who believe that films are objectively any one way and in many cases, what we try to say in these reviews is just how these films make us feel. So when I say I *felt* this film, do not misconstrue that for me…

Zodiac 2007
The thing I've always liked the most about this movie is that it rides a fine line between too much and not enough information.

But the facts are given to us piecemeal, bit by bit so we can follow what's happening in the story currently. Then, if they need…

The Big Lebowski 1998
Funny story about this one: like all of us, I procrastinate a lot on watching movies. You keep adding more to your watchlist without clearing the ones that are already there. You watch other stuff, you go to the movies. Probably 2 or 3 months ago, I decided "fuck it, today's the day, i'm gonna sit down and watch this one". I WAS ON THE STREAMING SERVICE. I HAD TYPED IT IN. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PRESS PLAY.…

Life of Brian 1979
If the white guy calling himself several Jewish slurs doesn't turn you off to this movie, the blackface definitely should.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It really is that good.
The people who said the 2 hours "flew by" or whatever were lying. You *sit* in this movie, you feel like it's going to last forever, and you don't want it to end.
This falls into the Empire Strikes Back/Toy Story 2 zone of incredible sequels that expand upon the world in all the ways that you want. Star Wars is actually a pretty perfect comparison here because the first Spiderverse film works as its…
