The Double

2013

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

I picked up a copy of this on DVD a few years ago on whim. I saw it starred Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska (two of some of my favorite actors) and decided it couldn’t be bad.

On first viewing it reminded me of other films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Truman Show or even Donnie Darko in just how quirky, ambiguous, and off putting it could be at times. I don’t think I fully grasped the themes and…

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

It’s that time of year 🎃

I can probably write a 3 page essay about this movie and how fantastic it is. I think one of my favorite things about this movie was that it helped bring the “final girl” cliche into horror movies. To look back in time, the 60s and 70s horror films liked making women weak (most of them at least). Especially with the somewhat popular exploitation films and even some Giallo films.

GoodFellas

1990

★★★★★ Liked Watched

It’s Goodfellas. What more can I say? Childhood movie right here. I being like 10 years old and seeing this for the first time and somehow making it through the entire 2.5 hours without getting distracted. It’s a 10/10 in every department. RIP Ray Liotta.

End of Watch

2012

★★★★ Watched

Goddamnit Jake, you’re making me feel bad for a cop. 

Solid crime/action movie. If this was made like 5 years later it would’ve been absolutely shit on. I really enjoyed the use of hand cams to show “POVs” of the cops/gang . And for the record, this was on my watchlist way before it got somewhat big on Tik Tok for that one trend.

Transformers One

★★★★½ Liked Watched

Wow.. I’m speechless..

I grew up watching the old animated shows and movies. Saw the first live action movie in theaters. Transformers was a huge part of my childhood. I’m so glad that this generation of kids get to experience an actual good adaptation of a fantastic franchise. The live action films were pretty bad after the first one tbh.

I really wasn’t expecting to love this one so much. Chris Hemsworth was.. amazing?! All of the voice cast were…

Not what I expected it to be. Brilliant movie. I can see why this is so highly regarded. This might be the final push I needed to start listening to jazz.
