Barbie 2023

★★★★½ Watched 20 Jul 2023

Under the surface of its beautiful set pieces, Barbie delivers a surprisingly deep commentary on the human search for value and purpose when growing up in a world that does not recognize it. Greta Gerwig once again has given us another profound film that demonstrates her range and creativity. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were excellent in this movie. Ryan Gosling in particular was a Ken out of Ken!
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

★★★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2023

An absolute masterpiece and by far the best animation ever put to film. The characters, writing, and plot were outstanding. As its own movie, this is wonderful; however, due to the cliffhanger, the sequel will slightly affect how I look back on this film for future viewings. This movie has me excited and anxiously waiting for Beyond the Spider-Verse!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High 1982

★★★½ Watched 23 Sep 2023

This movie feels like it should be in the historical archives to show future generations what high school in the 80's was like.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986

★★★★ Rewatched 23 Sep 2023

Barbarian 2022

★★★★★ Watched 09 Sep 2022

I walked out of the theater and drove home in a speechless state of utter shock. This movie is by far one of the best movies this year. Do not look anything up about it. This needs to be seen in a full theater with absolutely no context whatsoever.
Vengeance 2022

★★★★ Watched 02 Aug 2022 1

As someone born and raised in Texas, I was pleasantly surprised about how Vengeance is such an intelligent movie that rather accurately portrays Texas and all the nuance that the Lone Star State holds. There are a lot of subplots and directions within this movie; however, what ultimately ties the bow to this beautiful gift of cinema is the common theme of how we often assume that we know people before we dig deeper and find out who they truly…
