    i give it 5 stars though i did think it was a wee bit long. but GOTTAM WHAT A RIDE!!!! the first couple scenes alone deserve to be put into the smithsonian. And any time you start to go, do we really need this scene? the movie hits you with a scene that blows your mind! i’m just really impressed with keanu and the whole creative team on this one. lots of thoughts but the main takeaway is good job by everyone involved. the fact that this movie exists means cinema is alive and well.

    ★★★★★

    cried maybe 4 or 5 times, with an extended crying session after waymond says he’d love to do laundry and taxes in another life.

    i wanted a cry. it delivered tenfold. emilia jones is winning an oscar at some point.

  • A Quiet Place Part II

    A Quiet Place Part II

    ★★★★★

    I’m absolutely stunned. I was in a theater again, a real - honest to god - moviegoing experience. Being in a theater and hearing people yell, hold their breath, say “oh no” to their partners/friends (i don’t know the relationship status of everyone in the theater) was one of the greatest experiences of the past two years. I forgot how much it meant to me. the joy of not looking at my phone, respecting my synagogue, and sitting for 100…

    ★★★★★

    angelina jolie is too hot and thin to play this part that at one point they had the kid say “that’s why you’re so skinny” and she laughs and says “i’m lean, kid, i’m lean…”


    by far Taylor Sheridan's most accessible film to date.

    wish they didn’t show michael b jordan without a shirt on. now me and my girlfriend are leaving each other to shoot our shot. 

    i don’t know why michael b jordan has to be so serious all the tiiiiiime, u can tell he’s just oozing charisma. but every role he’s just so mad at everyone. 

    Michael B Jordan needs to do a rom com, Nancy Meyers’ Without A Horse i dunno leave me alone.

  • Love and Monsters

    Love and Monsters

    ★★★★★

    loved it. not a perfect film and way too much VO but for the amount of money they had - and you can tell it wasn’t enough - they made something really fun!

  • The Woman in the Window

    The Woman in the Window

    ★★★★★

    so much to enjoy in this trashy thriller. obviously a hardcore homage to rear window, but closer to an old school thriller-style twilight zone, also referenced. look, if you go in with the right mindset you’ll have a good time. just don’t ask for too much, k?

  • Greenland

    Greenland

    ★★★★★

    Like everyone else, shocked by how grounded this was. The performances are all there, the pacing is great, the dread is spot on. I cried like, three times?

    The kid is GREAT!

    imho, too much ghost alien not enough sex.

  • Becky

    ★★★★★

    I watched this after I saw someone on here call it Paul Blart: Mein Kampf, and I was immediately sold.

    It's okay, really gory and the plot is paper thin, but sometimes that's a good thing.

    Mainly just felt bad for the girl the whole time, I don't think she's mentally stable.
