The Myth of the American Sleepover 2010

★★★★½ Watched by Chicano Cinema 24 Nov 2020 2

Now this is my kind of coming of age. There isn't any like it I've ever seen. A refreshment of nostalgia. An adolescent, pubescent slice of white suburban insecurity. It's difficult to put into words the insurmountable strangeness of the film.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022

★★★★★ Rewatched by Chicano Cinema 25 Jun 2022

The Thing 1982

★★★★★ Rewatched by Chicano Cinema 24 Jun 2022 2

I'm currently obsessing over The Thing. I think it's cracked my top 10 all timers. Had to get the Fathom event out of my mouth. Do yourself a favor, either catch it on 35 millimeter if ever the option presents itself, or watch the Blu-ray. Some films do not benefit from a 4k scan.

The World's End 2013

★★★★ Rewatched by Chicano Cinema 07 Nov 2020

There is nothing in this world quite like Edgar Wright's signature editing, movement, blocking, entertainment value, heart, action, and laughs. Absolutely nothing.
Pieces of a Woman 2020

★★★★ Watched by Chicano Cinema 07 Jan 2021 2

Pieces of a Woman is a tender portrait of a woman slowly fading into depression, with the best performance I've seen this year in Vanessa Kirby.
