Elvis 2022

★★★★½ Watched by isaac 25 Jun 2022 1

For the first hour or so of Elvis. I kept wondering if Austin Butler is good at acting or if he’s just hot. At times it felt like he was caught in a whirlwind of cinema zooming around him, capturing so much of his movie star visage. It was only in the second half when I figured out just exactly how good of an actor he is. You could see his soul through all of the makeup and prosthesis. And I…
Hustle 2022

★★★★ Watched by isaac 10 Jun 2022

And I’m gonna say one last inspirational thing to you: They can’t kill you if you’re already dead.

Lady Sarah: “Love has limits.”
Queen Anne: “It…

In the Heights 2021

★★★★★ Watched by isaac 10 Jun 2021 2

I really can’t deal with anyone giving any negative opinions about this movie. Like I’m gonna get mad if you talk about how this movie isn’t the new high bar for movie musicals. There are like seven things in here that I’ve never seen in a musical before. The reflection in the window shot, pool scene, Abuela’s song, the long take in the apartment, dancing on the building; Jon Chu really did all of that! I wept for a solid…
