  The Tree of Life 2011

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 24 Aug 2024

  —/10

  Simply no one does it like Malick. Pure artistic expression and theological pondering fleshed out to their fullest capabilities. Universal yet impenetrable, abstract yet so clear. It’s all about love, that’s all it’s ever been.

  Magnolia 1999

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Feb 2023

  10/10

  A sprawling, chaotic, and complex epic about the sins of parents carrying down to their children and the lies we tell about ourselves to feel a bit more numb to the struggles of living.

  The greatest trick this film pulls is convincing the audience with the opening monologue that all of the problems and conflicts will be solved with some grand moment of divine interconnectivity, only to pull the rug out from under them with a brilliantly absurd climax…

  Opus 2025

  ★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  4.5/10

  Obnoxiously unoriginal. I really don’t have anything to add and I’m not gonna remember this movie much longer, so I’ll just say that there’s a scene in this with one of the worst audio cuts I’ve ever seen, and the film has consistently terrible ADR.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 29 Feb 2024

  I was going to write a big long review after rewatching this movie but I don’t think I’ve got anything to say. I genuinely and truly think that this is one of the best sci fi films I’ve ever seen and I’m not sure I’d ever forgive Warner Bros if they don’t green light Dune: Messiah next

  “I think I was born bored, 
  I think I was born blue,
  I think I was born wanting more,
  I think I was born already missing you”

  I can’t get this fucking movie out of my head
