  50 First Dates 2004

  ★★★½ Rewatched 18 Mar 2025

  Torn between the hopeless romantic in me, viewing this as one of the greatest rom-coms ever — while the other (sane) part of me would be PETRIFIED to wake up married to Adam Sandler. If you just ignore that, then it’s great. If you choose to indulge the terrors, then this is literally a horror film.

  My final conclusion is this was cute. Now morally is it, no. But for the sake of this review, it is.

  Drew Barrymore was really pretty in this. Like I genuinely spent the entire time just staring at her. 

  3.5/5 from me.

  3.5/5 from me.

  The Princess Bride 1987

  I had the utmost privilege to attend “An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes” tonight.  

  Something about watching a film, in a sold out venue, filled to the brim with fellow fans — quoting most of the movie? It’s unmatched. Literally the energy alone from the crowd moved me to tears. A film I quote with my own family so often, shared with these strangers. It felt so intimate but also so beautifully casual. 

  Another thing worth noting, my family drove…
