I would also volunteer if Lenny Kravitz was my stylist.

Brilliant. Easily Top 2 Star Wars for me personally. Exciting. Epic. Tragic. The storyline is fantastic, and it all culminates to a great ending. 

My Star Wars rewatch journey has been great. I now move on to Andor which I will complete and follow it up with Rogue One. After this, I will probably put a pause in my rewatch to catch up and watch some other things (I have a urge for a Hunger Games rewatch (as I usually do yearly) and since it is only 4 films I’ll knock it out quickly), but I will get to the sequels eventually.

Anyways, love this film and love Star Wars!

I also don’t like sand.

Film holds a special place in my heart. One of my first theater experiences I was seeing a 3D rerelease of this film, and while I don’t it fully, I the pod racing scene and the Darth Maul fight. Those scenes sticking in my brain. It’s similar to my relationship with Spider-Man 3 in the fact that I rewatched this one the most growing up so even though I don’t believe it is the best in the franchise, I still have lots of love for it. But I also don’t think this a bad film in the first place.

I will say that the pod racing mission in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga caused me a lot of rage and anger as a kid.

Fantastic conclusion to one of the greatest trilogies ever. I love all three of these films so much. They all hold such magic.

I like the Ewoks, they are very cute, but they have given me my fair share of heart attacks on Battlefront 2, so it’s kind of a love-hate relationship.

Yeah…this is one of the best films of all time. Greatest sequel ever???

Takes everything from the first film and elevates it. Every second of this had me so hyped up and so enthralled. I love it. And it has one of (if not) the greatest reveal of all time. Phenomenal. 

I forgot how much I love Star Wars!!!

The one that started it all.

It’s been a solid minute since I’ve seen the original trilogy so I will be rewatching it. Such a impactful film. Not only in the sense that it is the birth of one of the biggest and most know franchises ever, but also because it has influenced and inspired many great directors and films.

Also, I forgot how epic in which the franchise begins. Throwing you right into everything immediately. Immersing you from the start. This has me super excited to rewatch the rest of the films. 

Outstanding film!

If you come to my home and ask for a glass of milk, I instantly don’t trust you.

I’ve played Stranded Deep so I would definitely survive. (I would maybe last a month)

Wanted to experience peak again.

 I NEED Dune: Messiah like I need water.

Jeffery Combs…that’s it, that’s the review.

Performances were good but….

Is this good? Not really, but Russell Crowe rides around on a scooter and gives a wild performance so I had enough fun. Plus the end rocks.

Exactly what I was hoping for. A silly, bloody, fun time. Opening scene is great. Kills are great. I’m so glad this franchise is back, let’s keep it going. 

A wonderful farewell for Tony Todd. It had me tearing up. RIP to an absolute legend.

Gnarly opening. Crazy transitions. I still get very hyped when the score plays at the end.

Kinda got to respect someone who is so dedicated to their craft that they continue it after death.

A feature-length music video.

Jenna is good, and I really like the music, visuals, and the other technical aspects, but most everything else was dull in my opinion. I was quite excited for this, but I have been let down.

Decided to watch this to see something from Trey Edward Shults before seeing his new film, and I was pleasantly surprised by this. I didn’t know anything about this going in, and I found myself engaged from the beginning. I love the way the apocalypse is treated in this, it feels more realistic than other post-apocalyptic worlds. The tone is bleak, and I think that makes for a more interesting, compelling, and real depiction of what the apocalypse would be like.
I also love how much is unknown in the film, we don’t know the root of the illness, we don’t know why this is happening, and we are left to figure out what “it” is and I find that to be super effective and gripping. The performances are good, and it is well done technically. Overall, I was impressed by this, and I very much enjoyed it.

Nothing particularly special about this in comparison to other slashers, but it is still a fun, enjoyable time.

“Don’t tell mama”

The yell I let out at my TV.

Harrowing. Haunting. Cutting.

Truly a phenomenal piece of media. A story about misogyny, gender roles, power, trauma, and anger. A show that will stick in my mind. A masterclass in slow-burn storytelling. Features stellar writing and standout performances, I mean, this is truly one of the most quality and outstanding shows I’ve seen.  I understand why this isn’t for some, but I truly loved this.

Watched on Friday May 9, 2025.

Lesson learned…don’t go to Australia. You may have a rat shoved in your mouth.

Simply a good, funny time.

Now, sink into the floor.

One of the films that got me into film as a whole, so it has a place it my heart. There is imagery and scenes in this that will be ed for years and years. A masterpiece. Peele is just that guy.

A film that transform you into the main character, making you feel the same anxieties and distrust that the protagonist experiences. A journey filled with twist and turns. While not my favorite Fincher, it is without a doubt a good film and a fun, cool one as well.

Didn’t hate this, didn’t love it. I liked the themes it explores, and on a technical aspect I think this is well made. But I really only find myself engaged in the first half of the film, my interest slipping in the second half. I wish I enjoyed it a more. But I ultimately found this to be just fine.

There is no greater love than that which gives one's life for one's friends.

Emotionally riveting, haunting, heartbreaking and beautiful. All words that describe this gut-wrenching film. This wrecked me, leaving me in tears multiple times throughout its runtime. I feel this is a film that everyone should watch at least once. The human spirit is a powerful thing.

When two people love each other and they can't make that work, that's the real tragedy

A rewatch confirmed this is a top three Fincher for me personally.

Realized I’d hadn’t seen this even though I’ve seen the first.

At times it drags, but overall I enjoyed this.

J.K. Simmons speaks to you from a bathroom stall for 79 minutes.

Tarot more like tar-no….that was a bad joke, I apologize.

Anyway, I did not have a fun time with this.

People are frightened by what they don't understand.

David Lynch’s sophomore film is a tragically beautiful and human film. Hitting you in the deepest feels of your heart. Weighing in on topics of identity, exploitation, and how cruel people treat others who are different. I felt so many emotions during this. Multiple moments left me in absolute tears. 

From both a story and technical aspect, this film is outstanding. It really transports you to late 19th century London, thanks to the great costume and set design. As well as the stellar performances from our cast especially, John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. Just a truly powerful film.

Lynch may be the best to ever do it.

When discussing what characters have the most aura, Blade most definitely belongs in the conversation for top three.

The nightclub scene goes insanely hard.

Apart from some cool imagery and the physics, I wasn’t too interested or gripped by this. 

Would have rather rewatched The Descent.

Instructions unclear…I listened to the title, ed out and woke up to a blind guy with a turkey baster.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar was not who I expected to be in this.

Extreme, brutal, action-packed fun.

Man, I love this movie so much. It is such a comfort film. Out of the original trilogy, I watched this one the most growing up. I think it was all of the villains that I loved so much growing up, making it my favorite of the trilogy then. Now that I’m older, I love the first and second films more, but I still very much love this film and think it is unironically great. 

I want a fourth film so bad. Have it take place after the events of No Way Home, exploring how Peter operates life now. I would love it to happen.

 Spider-Man is forever my favorite hero, and I stand by my take that Tobey reigns supreme.

Rewatchability is off the charts. I found just as much excitement (if not more) on second watch. 

Micheal B. Jordan is killer. But the whole cast is as well. Miles Canton has got a future ahead of him. 

Beautifully done movie man. It may truly be my favorite movie of the decade. It’s well written, looks amazing, and features truly one of the best scenes in modern film history. Fully body chills at multiple sequences (one of which will be ed for decades and be studied) in this. 

Ryan Coogler, I cannot wait to see what else you do in your career. You are one hell of a filmmaker. 

Also, I don’t the last time I’ve seen an audience so into a movie, so engaged in the story being told. And that’s movie magic, that is so important for the medium, especially for an original movie. This is a special, special film.

 I wonder if it re me

A beautiful adventure about sadness, hope and family. Steve comes face to face with the shark, his struggles, and chooses to not let anger overcome but instead allows the shark to live resulting in him reconnecting with his crew and treating them as family, pushing towards a better future.

Anderson makes very special movies, and I adore them. I loved this. Going through his filmography has been very delightful.

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS OMG!!!

Coogler, you’re that guy pal. He has the JUICE. 

Sinners was easily my most anticipated fill up to this point in the year, and not only did it not let me down, it exceeded my expectations. Seriously, this is so masterfully crafted. It looks beautiful, the music absolutely shreds and multiple sequences left me with chills. The performances are great, and the narrative is great as well. Coogler takes a very explored mythical creature in vampires and turns it into a very original story, and it rocks. This already moves into my top films of the decade. I loved it so much.

There is no need for a sequel to this

I really wanted to like this, and why I really like parts of this, overall it just didn’t hit for me.

Already one of the most underrated films of the year. This is such a great time. It has a Pulp Fiction like structure. The four interconnected stories all are great. It gory, visually wild, and also just loads of fun. I mean, an NBA player and a group of punk teens fight a bunch of Nazi’s, what is better than that.

I never thought I would hear back to back needle drops that go from Metallica to E-40.

Tarantino is a freaky guy.

Tom Savini is a cool guy. 

George Clooney is a handsome guy.

I would have let Salma Hayek bite me🙏

This is my first time rewatching this after seeing the sequels, and it is even better on rewatch.

Ti West crafts such a magnificent slasher film here in my opinion. It’s funny, gory, brutal, and melancholic all at once. The characters are fleshed out, allowing us to actually know them as opposed to most other slashers. You see these young characters with their whole life ahead of them juxtaposed with an elderly couple whose days are numbered. It provides an idea and theme that is inherently terrifying. Plus, it has some gnarly kills. I just simply love this film. A top five horror of the decade for me.

Gripping. Tense. Gritty. Atmospheric. 

All these words describe Sicario. Focusing on the morally complex involvement of the US government and the Mexican Drug War. Exploring the unseen, the things that go on in the dark that never see the light. Picking apart the ethical dilemma of the situation, blurring the lines of good and bad. 

Denis’ direction is spectacular, the cinematography is incredible, and the score is impeccable. 

Sicario is great, and I would recommend everyone watches it.

Watched on Saturday April 12, 2025.

Trapped in a visceral, ferocious, terrifying nightmare. A fierce depiction of the hell that war is. Sound design is outstanding, and the cinematography is great. Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s Warfare is not a fun movie, but it is a good one.
