  Inglourious Basterds 2009

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  The various “chapters” of the film worked well for my short attention span, and the plot was entertaining enough to keep my attention. This was a really interesting take on an alternate ending to World War 2, and I always love a film with a lot of dramatic irony.

  The Battle of Algiers 1966

  ★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I feel as though this is not a good reason to dislike a movie, but I had a really hard time keeping up with the subtitles while also remembering who was who and what year it was. This movie provided what I believe to be a fairly authentic representation of the conflict, and it’s important this story is recorded in history.

  Alien 1979

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Overall I have no strong opinions about this movie. It didn’t keep my attention too well, but I enjoyed the action in the second half. I also appreciated the female representation, even if it is a common horror trope.

  Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978

  ★½ Watched 26 Feb 2025

  There was really nothing about this movie that I enjoyed. I’m sure it was revolutionary for its time and has had a large impact on the science fiction genre, but that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy watching it now.
