  A real treat. At times beautifully heartbreaking... but lovingly crafted. Very good Spielberg

  Aftersun 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2023

  I spent the afternoon processing everything I watched and gained from this... honestly sat in silence for a bit and let it all sink in.

  Everything I wanted to say about the film is already out there. That said...

  I lost my Mom to cancer at nine years old. I remember knowing and accepting that time was and is finite then. Moments are captured in memory, and memory can only do so much as time goes on. But we remember…

  Joker 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 05 Oct 2019 2

  Good things....
  Joaquin Pheonix.
  Insanely gritty and darker than I had anticipated.
  Awesome cinematography.
  Great unreliable narrator/editing choices.

  Yet.....utterly pretentious. And portrayal of mental health?? AND we still can't get past an origin story for Batman...Dang.
  
  It's a solid film, though. Probably a one time watcher.

  Edit: Admit it...you're only giving the movie 5 stars because of Joaquin Phoenix...

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 May 2022

  Firstly, I am forever thankful and appreciative for the craft of filmmaking, and it's explosive power to share, break down, and enhance humanity. It's a medium of endless exploration.

  I can't say much about this one. I almost don't want to give it five stars simply because. The only thing I've got is... original movies exist. They're out there, and we have nothing to fear. I'm glad we can explore more every day.
