Licorice Pizza 2021
It’s really impossible for me to discuss this film (even though my thoughts on the film itself will be minimal) without discussing how I came to see it, so I’ll start from the beginning.
On the day the first trailer for Licorice Pizza came out, I watched it a good 4-5 times within the first couple hours. I was beyond excited, but also tremendously sad knowing I’d have to wait to see it. A number of watches later, however, and…

Magic Mike XXL is obsessed with how rewarding it can be when you spend your time making other people happy and is, unsurprisingly, one of the most joyous films ever made because of it.

Cosmopolis 2012
Maddeningly simplistic and obvious, despite its insistence that the thuddingly dull and repeated attempts at philosophical inquiry include any actual substance.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
I wish I had something meaningful or insightful to explain why everyone is wrong and that this movie is a pile of shit, but I don’t.

Watching it was simply a miserable experience and I can’t think of a single aspect of it that felt like it worked in a fully formed way. Worst of all, the…

Suspiria 2018
This was everything I wanted it to be. It was horrific, beautiful, pretentious, and just bloody perfect (figuratively and literally). It’s BY FAR my favorite movie of the year, and the only movie I’ve ever seen that could even come close to topping The Social Network as my favorite movie of all time.
I’m going to hold off till a rewatch to put this on my favorites list (edit: lmfao that didn’t happen) but seriously, I don’t think one watch…
