Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

1967

★★★½ Watched

Oh boy, how do I talk about a movie like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner without getting too controversial with it’s themes of interracial marriage & how parents are able to handle it? Well, I will say that I personally think it was handled very well in this film, considering how crazy the 1960’s entirely were with our culture & society as a whole.

Grave of the Fireflies

1988

★★★★★ Liked Watched

WOW. WTF, did I just even watch? I mean that in a good way. I would just give this 100 out of 10 stars if I could. Words cannot begin to even describe just how powerful, emotional, & heartbreaking of a movie that Grave of the Fireflies is. I mean, f**k man, this is a movie. Move over Spirited Away, there's a new best Ghibli film in town. This might just be the best animated film I've ever seen in my…
