My best "cinephile" friend said that Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is a legitimately GREAT film. I might have to give it a watch

My most liked review on Letterboxd is for SLC Punk, if I'm not mistaken.

Lillard was awesome in that movie, and I think his portrayal of Stevo spoke some uncomfortable truths about what it truly means to be a "part" of a counter-culture movement.

I don't know what movie hot take is my least favorite.

1. Salo is a good date movie
2. Idiocracy/Don't Look Up is a documentary
3. They couldn't make Blazing Saddles today

We are force fed content that fits our exact tastes that when something that doesn't fit our personal tastes, lots of folks take it as a personal attack.

People should let things just exist and move on about their days if it isn't for them.

I don't understand the hate "Wuthering Heights" is getting

I mean, I am not planning on watching this movie. From what I have read about this movie, it isn't for me

But I think the response to this movie speaks to a deeper truth

I think short-form video content has warped our brains.

@letterboxd.social asked what the best underseen romantic movie is. To me, there is only one answer

Smiles of a Summer Night. It is pure perfection

A review of Fresh Kill (1994) Pre-Viewing Thoughts If there is one thing that I appreciate about Criterion, it is the fact that they regularly turn me onto great films that I have never even heard of. They just announced their May...

If there is one thing I love about #LetterboxdFriday, outside of sharing my most recent films, it is sharing my thoughts about movies.

I am SUPER excited to give Fresh Kill a watch.

Talk about such a gut wrenching movie. Ellen Burstyn was SOOOO good in that movie.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Marty Supreme (2025) Pre-Viewing Thoughts I live in rural Oklahoma. The only way for me to see movies during a theatrical release is to hope my town's three screen cinema get it, or drive like 3 hours to either OKC or Wic...

I watched Marty Supreme last night really wanting to like it.

It was pretty good, but I just can't help but feel like I was missing something.

I did, it was pretty interesting. I would agree that Possessor is better. Brandon Cronenberg is just a pretty good director

I like We Bury the Dead. It wasnt a Home run, but it still was an enjoyable time

It is crazy that Tarantino might be the most important director when it comes to "creating cinephiles."

But if you actually do start diving into film, you will find that he just stole most of his most iconic moments.

I watched the film again semi-recently and it really hit home for me. The premise feels so timely with how people are acting, especially considering how people's addictions to social media warp their ability to critically think. I highly recommend watching it.
