Babylon 2022
"Ain't life grand...?"
As much a love letter to cinema and Hollywood as a boot is a love letter to an ant.
An unfathomable rage is the beating heart of Babylon, a film that feels a total antithesis to Chazelle's previous work. Where La La Land understands the harsh reality of life in the City of Stars, yet still glamorizes and yearns for it, Babylon wants the whole place in cinders.

The Green Knight 2021
"Remember - it is only a game."
Dear Every Other Movie of 2021,
I write this to you to inform you that a new bar has set for quality in films released this year. This bar is unlikely to be exceeded.

"Don't you wanna be like your old man?"
"No, I heard you got fucked by a gazelle!"Full on tearing up I laughed so hard during all of this
EDIT: Since this is, for some reason, my most popular review, I'll use it to inform everyone that Middleditch is a total creep and you should not support him! That includes streaming this on Netflix.

Grounded: Making The Last of Us 2013
(The doc is pretty good, but I'm here to talk about The Last of Us Part II - Spoiler Free.)
Naughty Dog have made the most important pieces of media to myself ever. Uncharted features my favorite fictional character in Nathan Drake, and The Last of Us changed my life. It was one of the fundamental pieces in me wanting to tell stories for a living. I may prefer film to video games as a medium, but those two stories…
