Dune 2021
probably the best movie i’ve seen in cinemas since like 2019 or something i can’t really recall a blockbuster that understands every aspect of scale and properly dissipates it so cleverly across its entire runtime. it’s really worth going into every detail and little things that made it so good i didn’t really expect this to be the One to get me to like movies again and even it isn’t, it feels so good to be so buzzed about something…

The French Dispatch 2021
watching movies after you’re like 21 is just realizing that everyone you liked when you were 17 was a hack and a loser with a cheap gimmick and oh my god how was i so gullible but wes anderson doesn’t fall under that category here. nothing much to say you get what i mean. this gimmick hasn’t grown old and i don’t think it will it’s like simple, easy therapeutic cinema. lea seydoux.

No Time to Die 2021
perfect sendoff it accurately captures everything it should from scale to action to little emotional beats. i spent years with daniel craig as bond in my head but only recently did i truly fall for him and i’m glad i did before this, the first movie i’ve been excited for in god knows how long. best praise i can give it right now is just how much it reminds of uncharted 4 in all the best ways, cant wait to watch this every single day when i’m fifty.
