Smooth Talk 1985
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I found the film to be an interesting watch. It was really fun to watch a young Laura Dern act, and if she wasn't playing Connie I wouldn't have empathized with her as much. I did find Connie to be frustrating at times, but I also felt the film didn't really have many, if any, likable characters. Arnold Friend was of course the worst of them.

Fahrenheit 9/11 2004
This documentary did not feel like a movie from 2004. Moore does an excellent job of engaging the viewer throughout the film.

Beyond the "Bush was behind 9/11" memes, I never really explored the details until this film. Moore presents a very distressing reality that solidly entertains you while you are watching, but leaves you remembering the flaws of our government and the horrors of war when you leave.

The “good mornin” melody took me back to early ringtones from my childhood. I loved the intro of Kathy Selden. She felt…

Titanic 1997
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Titanic is a romance film that, when I first saw, I did not appreciate to its fullest. Jack and Rose have a romance that is at times cheesy, but largely fulfilling. Both Jack and Rose have a charisma to them that just meshes well. I loved the upper and lower class party scenes, they really shined there. The film does an excellent job of portraying class differences, from costuming to characterization. The performance from Victor Garber really connected with me.…
