The Last Waltz 1978
My God. Scorsese has done it yet again. The Last Waltz just put my expectations for every concert film I watch in the future at an unreasonably high level. I don’t know much about the genre or even how popular it is, but what I do know is that Taylor Swift girl is putting out one very soon and the hype surrounding it is scary high. Big L on her part for not getting Marty to direct it because that’s…

Hannah Montana: The Movie 2009
You may have noticed I marked this as a rewatch. No, that wasn't a mistake. I've legit seen Hannah Montana: The Movie multiple times.

The next closest screening was in New York City—so I looked my girlfriend dead in the eye and said “pack your bags sweetheart, we’re going to the Big Apple.” I hadn’t been to America’s greatest city in a couple…

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar 2023
One of those rare Netflix W's, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is a delightful short from the auter's auteur, Wes Anderson. Among a collection of shorts adapting four Roald Dahl stories, this one is the longest clocking in at 40 minutes. I was never exposed to any Dahl growing up and still have yet to read any of his work, but I did absolutely adore Fantastic Mr. Fox. I enjoyed The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar quite a bit,…
