White Christmas 1954
I've learned that the appeal of the movie for others is largely "wow look at those outfits", but for me it's just interesting to see all the ways in which filmmaking has both changed and stayed the same.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2020
“A movie based on Sonic the Hedgehog” is a concept that feels destined to fail, but man... they did it! In a world of subpar licensed video game films, Sonic manages to stay true to his character and source material.
The real star here is Jim Carrey, playing the role of eccentric evil genius Robotnik. Just an absolute joy every time he’s on screen, and a reminder of the ways he’s influenced my comedy since childhood. Perfect casting. Sonic’s VA is…
