  August in the Water 1995

  ★★★★½ Watched by IdlyBlue 07 Jun 2021 2

  Overall Rating: Excellent (A-)

  A humbling, unworldly, meditative piece on the mysterious relationship between life and the universe. Despite all our advancements, we still don't really know anything about the universe and the meaning of our existence within it, if any. We will forever be bounded and blinded by our ego. Watching August in the Water at this current moment in life, especially in light of all the recent mysterious, unknown phenomena and existential questions being asked, along with the…

  The Lighthouse 2019

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by IdlyBlue 16 Apr 2022 2

  Overall Rating: Masterpiece/Personal Favorite (A+)

  "Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul," said Ingmar Bergman, one of cinema's greatest visionaries, whom Robert Eggers is a disciple of. Compared to other art forms, film excels in it's ability to create a mood, an atmosphere, that can evoke an almost dreamlike state. What makes dreams so spellbinding are their atmosphere,…

  El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie 2019

  Rewatched by IdlyBlue 15 Aug 2022 2

  No Spoilers

I started this journey over 10 years ago as a kid, when a friend randomly told me to watch this show about a chemistry teacher cooking…

  Nope 2022

  ★★★ Watched by IdlyBlue 21 Jul 2022 9

  Overall Rating: Average (C-)

  No Spoilers

  Jordan Peele's Nope is a fog of eeriness that excels in its category of genre filmmaking and being an American blockbuster. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena is a term that has infiltrated the American public since 2017, with the release of the New York Times article about the Navy's USS Nimitz 2004 "Tic Tac" encounter by Commander David Fravor. It was further interwoven into the mainstream in 2020 with the releasing of three declassified videos by…

  BLACKPINK: The Movie 2021

  Watched by IdlyBlue 04 Aug 2021 2

  I've been supporting Blackpink since before Day 1, so I want to start by reflecting on the long journey from August 8, 2016. Blackpink was an immensely important part of my life and seeing everything they've sacrificed and accomplished since their debut is beyond overwhelming. I remember the slow reveal of each member one by one, the name Blackpink first being revealed, to counting down the seconds for their two debut music videos to drop. When I finally heard their…
