  Glengarry Glen Ross 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2023

  Let’s casually gather some of the best actors to ever live and throw them into the cut-throat world of sales. 

  David Mamet’s classic translates perfectly to screen. An easy watch that has some iconic lines, and the acting…wow. This was so fun.

  The Whale 2022

  ★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2023

  The reason this movie fails is because it’s missing two key components: a writer and a director. 
  This one is tough. 
  Brendan Fraser is just as great as you’ve heard. His performance drives the film. With any other actor in the part this wouldn’t have worked, there’s a certain undefinable quality that Fraser has which makes the work feel grounded and authentic.

  I see a lot of blame tied to Darren Aronofsky for being insensitive, but I think it’s bigger…

  The Royal Tenenbaums 2001

  ★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2023

  My rating is purely personal. Respect the hell out of Wes Anderson for his movies. I do think he’s one of a kind and his movies are so satisfying to watch. 

  But, like the few others I’ve seen by him, I just couldn’t connect to this. Though I can agree that the iconic Ben Stiller line at the end was so heartfelt.

  Babylon 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2023

  Dazzling. Some sequences are stunning. Doesn’t stick the landing with its message and there feels like a lot of unnecessary plot, characters, scenes. Also thought Jean Smart’s accent was pretty weak.
  Absolutely epic though and that final sequence made me feel so much love for movies 🥲

  The Menu 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Nov 2022

  You’ve seen these themes before, but you haven’t seen them presented in this way. 
  Delightfully satisfying and wickedly funny.
