Akira 1988
“Amoebas don't build houses and bridges, they only eat.”
It wouldn't surprise me to find out Akira is the movie that has been on my radar for the longest amount of time without me actually watching it. It has lived in my head as something I should see for near seven or so years until I finally decided to bite the bullet tonight. I’m so glad I waited, because young me might have actually never slept again.
The 80’s into…

Winter Light 1963
“Nothing can save you. You’ll hate yourself to death.”
It’s interesting how I tend to find myself attracted to films about faith, considering how I have been vehemently anti-religion for as long as I can remember. My grandparents were Catholic, their children attended church, and I, as a very young child, followed suit. I have no memories of this. For as far back as I can remember, the majority of my experience with religion came almost exclusively from my grandfather.…

The Host 2006
“My words are words, too! Why don't you listen to my words?”
I love Bong Joon-ho so much. Who else is like “I’m going to make a movie about American exceptionalism through the lens of a big fucking fish.” And the damndest thing is that he always pulls it off! It works amazingly, and whether or not you fully connect with the thing you have to admit that each and every film he makes is a work of artistry. Nobody makes a movie like Bong Joon-ho does. That’s all I’m saying.

Parasite 2019
“If I had all this I would be kinder.”
I’ve mythologized Parasite so much in my head over the past year, letting it sit on my movie shelf while I rewatched Thief and The Long Goodbye over and over until I ended up growing scared of the damn thing. I mean, after a long enough time seeing everybody I’ve ever heard of give this thing a perfect score it started getting to me. Like, how can it possibly be that…

In Bruges 2008
“Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.”
It took me eight-ish months to finally get around to watching this, and fuck, that was stupid. In Bruges is super enjoyable all the way through, one of those movies that I immediately adored, so much of it speaks to me on an emotional and comical level and I can see it slotting into that comfort movie position so easily. Of course everything about it was…

I Saw the TV Glow 2024
It felt like I was looking into a mirror, watching my own life play out on screen, completely unreal and annihilated me immediately. I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the gut in the best way possible. This one is going to crack a lot of eggshells, and I wish them all the best.
