“Paranoia is just reality on a finer scale”

How is a movie from 1995 about the year 2000 still so relevant in SO MANY WAYS?! For one, the police still suck. I would also still fuck Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Lewis, and Angela Bassett. Not to mention paranoia is still running rampant on all fronts, my own included. Really great stuff from Bigelow - very confused about why this isn’t talked about more!!

Oh and Tom Sizemore hitting us with this wig and “to me, the action is the juice” in the same year should also be talked about a hell of a lot more!!!

Nicole Kidman!!

This was…insane!!! I genuinely think a better lead actress and writer (and better haircut for Kyle McLachlan plz) could have made this into something special considering it had a lot of good pieces. But as it stands it’s one of the most baffling, eyebrow-raising, cringey, questionable things ever put to screen and that’s not nothing!

*storms off whilst huffing and puffing*

Yet another moment for me to try and decide if Aaron Sorkin’s rose-colored look at American politics is irably hopeful or delusionally naive. Either way, this was very charming!

Every once in a while you fall in love with a movie. The way it moves and breathes. The way it gazes and feels. It’s beyond just an experience to watch, but a time to cherish. This movie was impossible for me to resist. Its charms were irresistible from in its actors and direction all the way down to the way the air in the room seemed to change when it was on. I am overwhelmed by how much I responded to this film. Each and every second had me breathless and attentive. I didn’t check my phone a single time and my pearls were clutched several times. The careful way in which the writing, acting, and directing handled these characters and their story was impossible to look away from.

Jane Austen, Emma Thompson, and Kate Winslet…the women that you are!!! And Alan Rickman? You are quite simply a god amongst men. They don’t make movies like this, but I am so happy this one exists!!

literally just me crying for nearly two hours. emotionally violent and deeply beautiful.

watched with my mom on Mother’s Day <3

This really didn’t work for me. Correction: the first forty five minutes absolutely enraptured me, but after that it fell off. 

By “this” I don’t mean the direction or the acting or the sets or the costumes - all that was mostly lovely - I mostly mean the story. After the initial tension was released, my investment in the story completely crumbled. I don’t want to blame anyone except maybe me for missing the point of what is otherwise a lovely film.

Just so bad, but also the scene of Miranda and Charlotte complaining about motherhood and the Liza Minelli appearance solidifies this as a two star success

The first time I saw this movie I rented it on Amazon in my annual effort to watch all the Best Picture nominees. It was my senior year of college and Timothee Chalamet’s name was not one that immediately recognizable to me. Yet by the end of my first viewing, I gained an iration and respect for him that has sustained ever since. I watched the movie twice within 48 hours allotted by Amazon. I let it consume me and ruin me.

Years later, watching this film is less of an experience of revisiting than it is an experience of being hurt all over again. Even when you know how it ends, the impact of what is done here ripples through every inch of you. I have a different relationship with Timmy now, yet in this movie he sinks into Elio. His performances are continually impressive, but not really stand close to what he does here. And for it to be shot by the lingering gaze of Luca’s camera is even more mesmerizing. 

I would also be remiss if I did not acknowledge the immense gravity of Michael Stuhlberg’s performance in this film. He does not dominate in screen time, yet he feels like the beating heart of the film. Observing like us, sympathizing like us. His monologue is one of my all time favorites in film, and his reaction to a simple telephone call caused me to audibly sob. The absolute DISRESPECT of the academy to not nominate is unbelievable to me. But I won’t get started on my thoughts on how the 90th Academy Awards were given out…

The point of all this rambling is that this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. I cherish it and fear it. It delights and haunts me. Thank you Luca and Timmy and Michael and, yes even you, Armie.

Sex and the City was about a decade or two late for the “tv episodes are now feature length” era, but maybe it was for the best

Jack Black does some of my favorite acting of all time when he pretends to the phone off to Ned. Few movies bring me as much joy as this does. Encore!!

Kristen Davis out here being the hottest woman on the planet and Jon Favreau has the GALL to even look at other women?! I can only suspend my belief so much

This is soooo campy, I am kind of…obsessed!!! I also have many thoughts that I must capture right now:
- Vampirism is just taking advantage of humanities proclivity for sex. The whole thing is a seduction ritual!
- Blood lust = my breasts must be exposed.
- If someone turned my tears into diamonds I would love them too
- The way Coppola uses color in this movie could have an entire film studies class dedicated to it.
- This movie, but it’s just a two-minute super cut of Sir Anthony Hopkins saying “Ja” - I would still watch it.
- I love that the three men that all love the same woman come together to stop the powers of satan.
- I wanted to be more afraid by this, but this isn’t that kind of an adaptation and by the time Gary Oldman turned into a heap of rats, I decided I was okay with it.
- On the topic of Gary Oldman, his forehead needs to be stopped.
- Keanu Reeves does nothing but look gorgeous in this movie and honestly…I am here for it! Could have used a little male nudity though.
- There was a moment - he may deny it now, but it did happen - where my dad thought Gary Oldman’s hair was really that long. He then pivoted to say that he “wanted that wig”

Heath Ledger is truly one of the finest performers to have ever graced the screen. His ability to disappear into the skin of a character is nearly unmatched and he paid such a toll for it. We are lucky to have had him for the time that we did.

And Jake Gyllenhaal? He tried his best and I love him for that!!!! But it’s hard to keep up with what Heath and Michelle are bringing to the table in this. That’s without even mentioning the cinematography and writing!! Even Anne Hathaway’s wigs were showing him up, but he tried his darndest and for that he will always be an ally <3

Willem Dafoe continues to have one of the sickest filmographies out there. And Lily Rose-Depp?!?! I take it all back, I was not familiar with your game.

Deranged shit, loved it!

I thought this was a magnificent work of art and film, but that’s about all I can muster up right now. I need time to chew on this and fully digest it. But I will say this: it was for the best Taylor Swift, Joe Alwyn was by far the weakest actor in the film.

The introduction of Garnik, Toros, and Igor goes down as one of my all time favorite scenes. The ability for a movie to shift tone and direction so naturally should be studied. Sean Baker, the director/writer/editor that you are!! 

Oh and my mom is in love with Igor

incredibly unique and moving. something extremely special here grounded by two mesmerizing performances and a daring, but ultimately successful decision by RaMell Ross. something that will surely stick with me…

I definitely didn’t hate this in the way I was expecting to, but I also didn’t see what others laud this to be. While I don’t consider myself a movie critic or expert, I know when a movie is something special and this just…isn’t. The potential was there, but the execution - and the decision to make it a musical - is mystifying. Not one worthy of being Best Picture nominated, which is a shame because in the hands of another it very much could have been.

I’ve lived many lives since I first saw this movie and even more since 2004 when it came out. Through this time this movie has crawled under my skin and worked its way into my regular cadence with ease. But amongst all the quips and laugh-out-loud moments is the part of this film that sticks with my the most: I want to grow up to be just like Veronica Corningstone, but with better taste in men. Bad bitch energy and great hair? We have no choice but to stan!!

Sometimes - even though it might not look like the way you always imagined it would - your luck turns around. So deeply Italian. I finally understand the magnetic pull of Cher and see Nicholas Cage in a whole new light that I don’t feel entirely comfortable with. Very charming, made me smile!

Agent Dale Cooper’s origin story

“You light up a room and then you shit on everything inside of it”

A good, nearly great, movie anchored by two truly exceptional performances from Culkin and Eisenberg. I’m thrilled that Kieran is getting the kudos and credit he deserves as a performer who buries himself under the skin of the viewer, but am left more shocked at the lack of Eisenberg acknowledgement. This man wrote, directed, and starred in an intelligent and heartfelt film about the baggage we carry around in the form of family. There were flaws, but Eisenberg shone bright and further cemented himself as an artist who I greatly ire.

Going to consider this a first watch since it is my first time watching it all the way through start to finish. Really upset to it that, but glad I finally got around to this one because it’s really ridiculous how good this is. How a film can have so much heart, such a strong sense of humor, and a genuinely good love story is impressive enough, but this also managed to do two things I never believed could be possible up to this point:

1. Make Andie McDowell tolerable - I actually really adored her in this. Saw so much of Margaret in her <3

2. Made Bill Murray a convincing romantic lead, even if just for a moment!

You really did change cinema with this one Harold, bravo!!! 👏🏻

Perfect feels like a strong word, but I am a Virgo and therefore believe that perfection is achievable. While that may be something I continuously struggle with in my personal life, it is something I see so clearly throughout each moment of this film. It is clean and precise even in it's nearly three hour run-time. The performances from Andrews and Plummer all the way down to the youngest of the Von Trapp children are all startlingly crisp. It's equal parts a large scale, bombastic musical being shouted throughout Saltzburg and an intimate story being whispered in your ear. Where musicals have gone in the sixty years since this film ed West Side Story and The Wizard of Oz in it's mythology, movie musicals have been chasing this very achievement. It's all unsuccessful compared to the emotional, visceral grip this film has. Well, the grip it has on me anyway.

I can't watch The Sound of Music without weeping. Not always out of any real emotion outside of awe. The sequence from "My Favorite Things" through "Do-Re-Mi" nearly always leaves me smiling with tears in my eyes. The hard exterior of our favorite Nazi-hating naval hero melting down in front of eyes makes me woozy with warmth every time. But more often than not it's the singing that brings me to tears. Moments like the choir reprising "Maria" as she walks down the aisle or Christopher Plummer's voice breaking as he sings his last rendition of "Edelweiss" move me no matter how many times I've seen it. The movie manages to be so much - a romance, a stirring family drama, a political film - but is above all a pitch perfect musical.

Plus there are NAZIS! This movie is incredible, I can't believe how sad you must be to dislike such an incredible piece of art.

Suffice to say that if perfection is achievable they captured it in this film and it's a wonder to behold every single time.

Ralph Fiennes, you will always be my favorite Real Cardinal of the Conclave <3

Nothing makes me feel the way this movie feels. I think I have been afraid of that feeling since it was one that so overwhelmed me when I first saw the film.

I was in college, home for winter break. My parents and I were in the throes of our yearly pilgrimage to and from the movie theater to try and see all the Best Picture nominees. We sat in the last row with little expectations of what we were going to watch. I don’t when I started crying, but I finding I hard to stop crying when my parents started to get up out of their seats with the rest of the patrons to exit the theater. I was silent as we walked out the doors into the night air and felt my mom’s hand on my shoulder. “You can cry in the car if you need to,” she told me. Just as soon as the doors shut, I stopped trying to hold it in. I cried nearly the whole drive home. My parents shared their praise of the movie over my tears and the only thing I contributing was that which made my heart ache then and makes it ache now: “he was finally able to be himself. I am so happy for him.”

This movie captures something so intense and powerful that was not at all diminished in a long-awaited second viewing. Maybe it’s because I’m older now and see things a bit differently. Or maybe it’s because the emotional poignance of this film is not something capable of aging. Either way I am once again left breathless and tear stained, finding myself heartened and heartbroken that Chiron is finally able to be himself.

I was very afraid about this movie and perhaps this initial rating is elevated due to my low expectations, but I LOVED this!! 

My fear came from two primary places: 1) Ariana Grande’s acting ability. As my friend said tonight following our viewing, Ari makes it so hard to be a fan of hers. Beyond all the drama in her personal life I was afraid that, while she surely would kick ass vocally, she wouldn’t be able to deliver a good enough acting performance to sell the movie. I feel so overjoyed to have been SO WRONG! I thought she was fantastic, she leaned into the hilarity of it all while still maintaining the heart of Glinda. She made a few choices that might not sit well with everyone, but every hair flip and smile worked on me. 2) I had been hearing that this film was not visually appealing and made a lot of weird lighting decisions. That part is true, though I think the effort of the over lighting and under saturation was to emphasize Elphaba and Glinda’s signature colors as well as the vibrant wonder of the Emerald City. Not enough of a flaw to bother me.

The thing that really keeps this as a four star movie for me is silly, but I cannot get past it. The choice to bring in Idina and Kristen was very fun, however the execution of it took me completely out of the movie. It made it seem like a self-aware TV special as opposed to a blockbuster. Thankfully at that point the movie entered into its thrilling final chapter and I was whisked back away, but it really did sour the entire experience for me.

Regardless of that, I still had chills about a dozen times and swooned over Jonathan Bailey in the way the good lord intended. Thank God for the vocal supremacy of Cynthia Erivo for literally bringing me to tears multiple times. This is great and I cannot wait to see how many Wicked (movie or musical) songs end up on my Spotify Wrapped this year.

need more great writers, directors, and actors to team up on genre movies like this. Danny Boyle had no business going this hard on a zombie movie. I am OBSESSED!

never not thinking about Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby running into that taxi after their double date

Dominic Sessa, you will always be famous

maybe I’m getting sentimental in my old age, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how I am acting like the best friend and not the main character in my own life. I am in serious need of some gumption.

thought of Brooklyn Nine-Nine the whole time (complementary)

I read this book for the first time in high school. It crushed me, moved me, changed me. Instantly it was my favorite book of all time.
I saw the movie when I was in college. Though Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess are wonderful, I felt thwarted and was disappointed when the credits rolled.
I’m nearly thirty now and when I saw Netflix was adapting this, I was heartened but nervous. The excitement that there was redemption for this story to be given a proper adaptation was thrilling, but again there was a chance for them to get it wrong.
Thankfully, everything sung the right note in this version. I am bewildered and heartbroken and joyous and moved all over again. The emotions are not the same as they were when I closed the book, but they are in parallel with the way they sit within my heart and mind. 
My cheeks are crusty with the tears that have dried in the minutes since I finished the final episode. My heart aches, but I can’t way to watch it again. This is truly so special and I am thrilled that it exists!

makes you want to hold those you love a little tighter and live a little brighter

I’ve seen this nearly every year of my life and it is only now that I am realizing the true meaning of this movie: it’s a love story of the beautiful, forbidden connection between Evenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley. The world was not ready for their love, but Charles Dickens told their story anyway. BEAUTIFUL! CHRISTMAS! I LIKE LIFE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

sending love to Max, that boy went THROUGH IT

“I’m not such a loser after all!!” - my hero, the Winter Warlock

my family’s annual argument about which of the miser brothers is gay - the correct answer is that everyone in this movie is gay

so sweet and so pure I will forgive it of all its shortcomings. Also Linda Cardellini is very important.

a strong, convincing argument against living in a major city

Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton are my mom and dad

and that, kids, is why you shouldn’t do drugs!

Meredith Blake being a 26 year old publicist with an assistant seducing a man with children nearly half her age is some bad bitch energy that younger me simply could not appreciate

tag yourself, I’m Donna Kelce

I am drunk with the spirit of Christmas!!!!!!

if you want us to believe that Deena has a boring voice, why ON EARTH would you put Beyoncé in that role?!?! SHE IS BEYONCÉ!! HER VOICE MOVES MOUNTAINS!!

“I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days... I'm really quite tired.”

It’s so stupid how good this movie is. It hits at absolutely every level. The script? Dynamite. The acting? *chefs kiss* The direction? Masterful. The story? I LAUGHED, I CRIED, I SWOONED, I CRINGED!! Why isn’t this talked about more and often? 

No one has ever been equal parts stunning, grisly, brilliant, annoying, heartbreaking, and foul-mouthed in the way Julia Roberts is in this film. Seeing her performance makes you understand why they had no choice but to name it after her character, she IS the movie.

Brb gonna recommend this to everyone I know.

movies rated 3.0 or less on LetterBoxd that I thoroughly enjoy

• Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

  I get that it is basically sacrilege to it you enjoy any of the second Star Wars Trilogy. I also get that this isn’t a big “G” good movie, it might not even be a little “g” good movie. All I know is that it is not the worst Star Wars movie (see: Attack of the Clones), it features a very young and very dashing Ewan McGregor, and Darth Maul pretty objectively kicks ass. This is a fun, at times cringe-worthy movie that as a young millennial will always be soaked in nostalgia for me.

• The Christmas Chronicles
• Fever Pitch

  Maybe it’s the Bostonian in me or the fact that I have seen this movie a bazillion times, but this movie is great. It’s fun and romantic and cute and funny and awkward where it needs to be. Jimmy Fallon does a really good job acting considering he could barely get himself through any SNL skit that wasn’t Barry Gibb Talk Show. Plus I am a SUCKER for Drew Barrymore. 

  I would be remiss not to acknowledge the craziness that the Sox broke the curse the year they filmed this. It’s wild and getting to relive it each time I watch it is an enchanting experience.

• Jurassic World
• The Day After Tomorrow
• Yes Man
• Blades of Glory
• Grown Ups
• Kicking & Screaming
• Thor: The Dark World

  The first time I saw this movie I thought, “oh no.” It was all at once disappointing and not up to par in the scope of the Marvel universe. Then I watched it again with my parents as they made their way chronologically through the MCU. I prepped them and myself to be disappointed and maybe it was our low expectations, but I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was so much fun and so silly at times. Once you dropped the expectations for it, it became a fun thrill ride of it’s own. Definitely low tier Marvel in of quality, but higher tier in of fun. Plus lots of Loki. And I like Loki.
