  • Tenet

    Tenet

    ★★★½

    finally took the time to watch this. could barely hear them talking and then the music would give me a heart attack. sound design and music was spectacular as always and creates the atmosphere of warped time.

    the plot heavily relies on the audience to be able to play catch up and understand exposition when being delivered to you at warp speed which you definitely cannot do on your first watch. in saying that, it was cleverly written and put me on the edge of my seat.

    i don't how this movie was both boring and engaging at the same time but that's what it was.

  • Shithouse

    ★★★★

    this honestly had so many similarities to my first year of university. i'm fortunate enough that i could live at home whilst studying and that made the transition way easier. but feeling super lonely whilst being at uni was SUPER relatable.

    so gripping and so heartbreaking, this movie made my night.

    ★½

    the fact that owen wilson is supposed to be one of the "hot guys" slaying the game is way too funny. and tits flashed on my screen in the first 10 mins and i was so shooketh!!! also i didn't finish it.

  • Spotlight

    Spotlight

    ★★★★★

    one of the best movies i've watched this year. didn't use heavy visuals, but rather focused on the story. it is sooooo fucked how much power the catholic church has and how all of these cases were handled so strategically and discreetly. seriously has left a heavy weight on me.

  • Hillbilly Elegy

    Hillbilly Elegy

    ★★

    this movie definitely had a lot more to show, but failed to actually say anything.

    domestic violence, poverty and drug addiction are just some of the issues they touch upon without actually going into deeper detail. amy adams and glen close gave their best performances with a lacklustre script and story. i don't know why they decided to make a half assed movie about this (which was 2 hOURS long) without actually diving deeper into the issues at hand.

  • Freaky

    Freaky

    ★★★½

    vince vaughn running around like a teenage girl was pretty funny i'm not going to lie.
