Magnolia 1999
It wasn't until I heard the first notes of "Wise Up" that I realized how much this film stuck with me after my first watch. I've thought about that song at least once a week for the last several months but I could never place where I had heard it. Hearing it again tonight, I realized that it wasn't the song itself that stuck with me but the story that it was attached to.
The first time I watched this…

Elevator to the Gallows 1958
A more passive viewer would be drawn to this film for its action, but this is a mere trifle; as Gerard teaches us, the content is paramount.

Reading the reviews, though, all of the criticisms were completely valid, and I realize that this movie really isn’t good at all. While they get the goofiness of these characters…

Fight Club 1999
My reaction to this film about a year after I first watched it is very different than my reaction today. I think if I were to watch this film tomorrow my reaction would be different than it is today. Having already seen this film, I was very focused on the themes rather than the story, but I don’t recommend approaching this movie that way. There are many ways this film can be interpreted, but I think convincing yourself that any…
