The Last American Virgin 1982
I knew I was going to like this movie when a slow dancing scene to In the Flesh by Blondie played
at the beginning. HOWEVER, that ending had me truly gagged with my mouth quite literally hanging open. But overall I’m very happy to have come into this with not knowing too much context other than pretty 80s visuals and dumb horny boys. -
Barbie 2023
This is the perfect love letter to girlhood and then it getting cruelly stripped away in the "real world". The accuracy of social commentary in this film is superb. Greta Gerwig really outdid herself with "Barbie." There's tons of material to laugh at, to admire and to cry with. The set design deserves many awards just on it's own, the practicality of it all really makes you feel like you're inside Barbie Land. The small details just add to it…

Barbie 2023
No one yell at me. I loved the first act. I was so excited for the story they set up: about a woman having an existential crisis, considering her own death, and tearing open the world of a blissfully ignorant doll.

Starman 1984
Starman means a lot to me, so I’ll get this out of the way first. I love Starman so much—the story, the cast, the pacing, the score, and Carpenter’s direction... especially since (at least on paper) he’s the last person I would ever suspect or choose to make this kind of picture. I don’t revisit this often and there’s a reason for that, which I’ll go into because I think it’s time to change that...

Starman 1984
So I’m here with mom, helping her out after the loss of her partner, going through photos and documents and organizing the memorial, and she tells me a friend of hers has recommended a movie that might help her process her grief. Something called Starman.
I go apeshit with excitement. What magical friend told my seventy year old mother to watch Starman? I tell mom how much I loved that movie when I was a kid. How it played on…
