Whisper of the Heart

1995

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Man. Whisper of the Heart hit me so much harder on my 2nd time watching it. I never realized while watching it again that Whisper of the Heart actually turns 30 years old in July. I probably should have saved to rewatch it later on in the year, but then it hit me that I really wanted to watch a film like this one again, as I recently started my very 1st job ever in my life. Going forward in…

The Red Balloon

1956

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Wow. I was totally wrong about The Red Balloon when I first saw it over 4 years ago. Everything about this short French film is just perfect. I don’t why I never mentioned this in my 1st review, but I actually vaguely seeing a poster of the very final scene of this short film in either my elementary school library or my local public library. I do that it was a boy holding onto a crap ton of…

The Prince of Egypt

1998

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Whelp, woke up this morning & found out that Val Kilmer is longer with us. When I was found this out, I immediately decided to rewatch The Prince of Egypt in honor of Kilmer’s storied film career. Everywhere in the news media regarding his death, I have heard nothing about his involvement in this movie, which is pretty sad honestly. I always forget that Kilmer voiced Moses, mainly due to the fact that I’m not very familiar with his voice all…

Liar Liar

1997

★★★½ Liked Rewatched

Well if it isn’t my good ol’ funny as hell lawyer friend Fletcher Reed (aka Jim Carrey), it has been quite a while. Been wanting to rewatch Liar Liar for a while now & I finally had the urge to watch it today for the 2nd time because I was in the mood for a good comedy. I still stand by my stance that this film is a super underrated comedy. Not a perfect one per say, but honestly might just…

Uncut Gems

2019

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

Imagine telling somebody who is not familiar with Adam Sandler for the 1st time that 85% of the movies he’s in are just him dicking around in stupid comedies & that the other 15% are films that show what Sandler could be actually doing instead. Well, if isn’t my old anxiety-inducing thriller film Uncut Gems. This is another film that I’ve been wanting to revisit for quite some time & yup, it’s still really good as hell. I still think that Punch-Drunk…

My Fellow Americans

1996

★★★ Liked Rewatched

You know if never occurred to me that after watching My Fellow Americans again that this film is pretty much just a political satire version of Grumpy Old Men. I honestly don’t know how to feel about that. Wonder if Jack Lemmon had anything to do with this. Even though President’s Day isn’t my all time favorite holiday, I still really wanted to watch something on this day associated with a ion of mine. I can just imagine the plot…

Lincoln

2012

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

I was originally planning on finally rewatching Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln in over 5 years now on President’s Day, but I then I found out that Honest Abe’s birthday was actually days prior on the 12th, so I’m watching it today instead. Back in January 2020, I had only seen 3 Spielberg films. Unfortunately, the first one I saw was the crappy live-action Disney version of The BFG when I was 11 years old. Then I saw E.T. on a 8th…

The Terminator

1984

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

I was never intending on rewatching The Terminator lately, but a good friend of mine wanted to watch this iconic 80’s sci-fi classic with me due to him never seeing it before in his life. Although many don’t consider the 1st Terminator movie to be as perfect as many others do, honestly I just really f**king love this film man. Obviously it doesn't top Judgment Day, but I feel that it’s a perfect introduction overall to the whole Terminator universe…

DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story

2004

★★★½ Liked Rewatched

Yup. Just as stupid-funny, but also quite enjoyable as I ed it being when I first watched it back during the COVID-19 lockdown. Dear god, has it really been 5 years now since COVID times? Dodgeball really is a “true underdog story.” Not the best comedy per say, but one that’s still memorable & quotable as hell, along with it’s fair share of laughs & a ton of celebrity cameos that I totally forgot about from this film. I mean, f**king Chuck…

Groundhog Day

1993

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Oh boy! Today’s February 2nd & you all know what that means. It’s the day we all trust a god-damn groundhog in a small rural town in Pennsylvania to determine whether or not we get more weeks of winter or an early spring because god knows that we pray to a rodent to determine the weather. This is now the 5th time I’ve been doing this yearly watch of Groundhog Day per a proclamation on myself that I made & I don’t…

Baby Driver

2017

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

One thing that I plan on doing for this year is that I have a ton of movies that I have been wanting to watch again for the 1st time in over a couple of years. For example, I’ve been in the mood lately in checking out Baby Driver again because I really loved this film when I first saw it back in 2021. I said it in my 1st review & I’ll say it once again, someone please tell me…

They Live

1988

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

So They Live is another really interesting glow-up when it comes to it overall as a film & for John Carpenter standards, but not nearly as legendary as The Thing’s changing perception over the years. Here we have yet another film that has become a modern-day cult classic that didn’t really impress the critics that much back in 1988, but at least it was somewhat a minor box office success against its $3 million budget. I guess maybe people finally woke…
