  Gattaca 1997

  ★★★★½ Watched 31 Mar 2025

  this will certainly be one of my favorite science fiction films of all time. such a unique and amazing concept, which is so gratifying to see in a genre where I feel so many common tropes are repeated.
  the tension was so well crafted, I was genuinely so nervous for vincent to be caught.
  the overall cinematography was so captivating. there was something so comforting and intriguing about the color grading specifically.
  finally, everyone was so hot in this film... are we sure they weren't genetically modified?

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  I feel I prefer the musical over this film adaptation. I was actually surprised with how much is changed from the stage. nevertheless, I am obsessed with cabaret and the soundtrack.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec 2024

  it was no surprise to me that this film has become one of my favorites of all time. nosferatu was my most anticipated film of the year. 

  visually: absolutely stunning. the use of the darkness of night to convey the visual of a black and white film, paying homage to the classic… perfect. 

  I love the multiple directly recreated scenes from the original; thomas cutting himself, count orlok standing in the doorway, and especially the unforgettable count orlok outstretched hand stalking…

  Challengers 2024

  ★★½ Watched 11 May 2024

  soundtrack was amazing, but not surprised since it was composed by atticus ross and trent reznor. 

  not my favorite luca guadagnino film but it was definitely intriguing and has it’s funny moments. the tennis shots were so cool, especially the ones that would look to be under the court and when the camera was the ball itself.
