The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar 2023

★★★★ Watched 07 Oct 2023

Nice story. Just pure. Give me more purity. I gotta find peace of mind.
80/100
Scarface 1983

★★★★ Watched 02 Oct 2023

I can't tell if Al Pacino knows how to play a cool, uncaring protagonist really well or if he just never gives a shit while acting. Always the most enjoyable characters to watch too.
82/100
Barbie 2023

★★ Watched 05 Aug 2023

Bro did not enjoy Barbie the movie. The subtlety of something made for a four year old. Girls vs Boys give me a break what age are we.
42/100
Oppenheimer 2023

★★★★★ Watched 22 Jul 2023

Fucking ridiculous. Probably the most critical period in human history. A race to develop an earth destroying weapon against the most ruthless and reckless force in modern history. The pacing in the first 30 minutes actually had me frustrated but the final acts both made up for it and made sense of it. As expected with a Nolan film the detailing is immense, as is Cillian Murphy's performance- a master in facial expressions. The moral scrutiny of the events are…
Fast Times at Ridgemont High 1982

★★★½ Watched 05 Jul 2023

Pretty groovy. Everyone was so horny back then.
72/100
Heat 1995

★★★★★ Watched 12 Jun 2023

Class. It does nothing to hide the ugliness of Hanna's job from the brutal violence to its impact on relationships. Yet for some reason big city detective work has never been more romanticised for me. I kinda get why it would make someone tick. It goes beyond just the excitement. You put yourself face to face with the horrors that go on in the world rather than try to distract yourself from them. Holding on to your morals is a…
Fast X 2023

★½ Watched 27 May 2023

They made this with AI. Vin Diesel dialogue soundboard.
29/100
All Quiet on the Western Front 2022

★★★★ Watched 22 May 2023

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Propaganda had these guys thinking they were going for some croissants in Paris. There's no bad side on the soldiers level.
Mad awkward on the battlefield once it hit 11.
77/100
Shallow Hal 2001

★★★½ Watched 22 May 2023

Never thought of using the Tony Robbins de-hypnotized me excuse.
72/100
The Platform 2019

★★★½ Watched 14 May 2023

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Nice little concept. Nice little allegory into the destructiveness of human nature in politics.
No shame in what me and homeboy did to survive.
72/100
Green Street Hooligans 2005

★★½ Watched 01 May 2023

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Takes itself way too seriously for a movie about football fans wanting to scrap other football fans. The Matt character arc is literally just him learning how to scrap.
Pete the Tyler Durden wannebe
47/100
First Reformed 2017

★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2023

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Bro confused which religion he was. A grandiose perspective of his own values with a completely neglectful treatment of himself. There's a happy medium.
63/100
