Punch-Drunk Love

2002

★★★★★ 1

maybe the most sincere portrayal of the pursuit of love and why it can so often feel like life or death. an honest and intimate depiction of why everyone, even those that are flawed or suffering, are so deserving of this incredible feeling, this gift!

The Phoenician Scheme

2025

★★★½ Watched

regardless, it’s a wes anderson movie, and his “worst” is better than most people’s best

Final Destination 5

2011

★★★ Watched

absolutely goated ending

★★★★½ 1

i can probably count on one hand the amount of times my jaw has literally dropped in a theater, and the musical scene in this movie is one of them.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★ 2

just a normal day where i paid $26 to watch an outspoken 62 year old scientologist run in his underwear and perform some of the greatest stunts in action filmmaking history
