Magnolia 1999
What Most People Don't See Is Just How Hard It Is To Do The Right Thing
You watch a film to immerse yourself into whatever existence the film presents. To see a film like this that truly transports you into it’s universe. It’s characters. It’s god damn characters. A past his prime child trivia prodigy. A women who married an elderly man for his money but grew to love him. A nice on the outside evil on the inside tv…

Transformers: The Last Knight 2017
Maybe the worst aspect ratio changes I’ve ever seen in a film. It’s in incompetently done that it’s annoying. But a film that says Harriet Tubman worked with transformers, a transformer killed Hitler, and the worst line of dialogue maybe ever (sting like a bee) I’m kind of astonished. Sad that Michael Bay’s transformers series has come to an end with this and would have loved to see the “cinematic universe” that would have followed this.

Boogie Nights 1997
Few instances this happens but it’s happened 3 times to me. that before the film is even halfway finished I knew I loved it and was one of my new favourites. That it would be a film that truly captures my imagination and is a pinnacle of visual storytelling. The first time was when I first saw The Matrix. The second was when I watched Speed Racer. And now Boogie Nights has joined this rank.

Avengers: Infinity War 2018
Has the normal marvel pitfalls in certain parts but overall is one of the best mcu films. How it seamlessly juggles all these characters without a single one feeling under utilized. Has emotion which is something rarely seen in any of these films. Also maybe the best special effects in this entire franchise.
