This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was the first film I logged in 2023. I would say it was what set things in motion for me to fall in love with film more and become an avid user of Letterboxd. Being the 2 year anniversary of watching it for the first time, it felt right to rewatch it.
The night I watched this with some friends of mine was a very memorable night for me. The movie experience was wonderful…
Action-packed, adrenaline fueled and explosive, Speed was a surprising experience. I enjoy Keanu Reeves as much as the next guy, and while he was solid here, I find Dennis Hopper to be the star of the show.
I haven't seen a vast amount of action flicks, but to find a character given as much depth as Hopper's character was wonderful. Well written, well shot, and score-wise they hit the nail right on the head. Conceptually this is really intriguing, and…

The story is decent enough, and the characters can be annoying at times, but it all comes together to give us probably some of, if not my very favorite fight scenes I've seen in movies from recent memory. During that final fight, the guitar filling the background was…
