  Companion 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 07 Feb 2025

  I came into this one quite skeptical with no idea what it would be about. 15 minutes in and I was ready to critique. The middle 75% chunk proceeded to blow my expectations away. Filled with a generous amount of comedic relief, superb execution of the premise direction, and many surprises, I had a great time. The climax definitely fell flat for me, however, the rest of the movie was so conceptually engaging and all-around fun that I’ll let it slide for this first watch review 😎

  The Truman Show 1998

  Wow what a movie. What a concept. I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to this masterpiece. 

  My main takeaway is how impactful propaganda can be when used effectively. Are our beliefs really ours? Are our thoughts original? Or are they the outcome of an uncountable amount of stimulus that we have been exposed to?

  In the Mood for Love 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2020

  The city. The dinner. The rain. The smoke. The ruins. The concept. The clothing. The silence. The music. 

  All of it, absolutely intoxicating.
