The biggest surprise of 2023. I knew almost nothing about this movie going in, and this was not on my radar until a few days ago. Godzilla Minus One took my breath away and stands as the best entry in the 70-year-old franchise since the '54 classic. The first Godzilla entry since the orginal that has actually grabbed my attention when it comes to the human aspect of Godzilla; most Godzilla movies do a great job showing the visual destruction…

Watched this in bits and pieces for class but saw the majority of it. I hated almost every second of it just like the play so in a way this is a great adaptation! It's just so awful is every way except Anthony Hopkins was having fun. Only enjoyable part was the human meat pies. Idk it's just so worthless and definitely the worst Shakespeare play I've read and watched so far. Executive produced by Steve Bannon lmao.

Training Day 2001
A showcase of how fucking good Denzel Washington is at his job and not much more than that.

A barebones script is kinda a great way to show how fucking incredible Washington is and Hawke is great too in a more subed role as the only guy with a conscious. I also think this…

Over the Garden Wall 2014
No better way to spend Halloween than with my boyfriend and a couple of friends watching this cute and spooky cartoon. I hadn't seen this before but my boyfriend has seen it like 20 times. It's such a wonderfully spooky and charming cartoon that actually is a little unnerving and also makes me super happy. One of the quintessential pieces of fall media.
