  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Jul 2023 2

  Around the 2-hour mark I became consumed…"Is Rami really just Anonymous Clipboard Holder?!"

  I can’t recall the last time I watched a film and made so many distinct observations—some good, some bad; some fleeting, some that I continue to mull over as I write this. Like many other viewers, I still need time to digest this cinematic feat. But I’m unquestionably floored by its ambition and craft.

  Jaws 1975

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 24 Sep 2023

  Has any character in the history of cinema laughed harder at their own joke than drunk Hooper does about his heartbreak? There’s also something about Quint’s shit-eating grin as they both expectantly look up at Brody that really hits.
