  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019

  ½ Watched 23 Dec 2019

  Since a young child, film has been one of the most important facets, forms of escapism and inspirations and routes of creativity for my now adult life.

  The Wrong Man 1956

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Sure. When Hitchcock characters get white blindness for a criminal, it makes for masterful suspense.

  I decided to give this a watch in prep for Booksmart tonight. And if this movie is any indicator, I'm going to love Booksmart. Because this was very witty, had a great heart to it all and some solid performances. I also dug the editing as it got creative in spots and helped me appreciate it even more so.
