  The Dinner 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Sep 2023

  This movie poses a question, it makes you wonder what you’d do in this position. Every actor delivers a totally believable performance, but what I loved about this was the constant connection to the battle Gettysburg. 

  There are excellently edited montages with audio describing the battle, and they reference it throughout the film. It’s a perfect blend of informative history, family drama, and self reflection.

  Also, one of the wildest endings ever.

  Arbitrage 2012

  ★★★★½ Watched 03 Sep 2023

  Great complex characters, a rollercoaster of a story line. Richard Gere is super endearing even when he’s running from police and lying to his family. Love movies like this.

  Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. 2023

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 29 Apr 2023

  Is this movie a drunk doctor?! Cuz that’s a lot of needle drops! In the best way. This movie transported me to the 70s, and took me on a perfectly timed journey through the tumultuous thought process presented by picking a religion. 

  It reminded me of the fun I had as a child passing notes in class, and the harmless teasing of soon to be teenagers, while capturing the seriousness of the overwhelming questions brought up by finding your faith. 

  I see why this book was so popular.
