Watched this again with the family. My dad hated this thing. While I will it some scenes are too cringe to enjoy, this movie is so undeniably fun.

Split

2016

★★★ Watched

This was almost really good. There were some really stunning shots here and there and I’ll it I was spooked when “the beast” happened, but like this movie did not know how to end.

Call Me by Your Name

★★★★ Liked 2

I have no idea how to feel about this. It was a great movie but I could not get over how uncomfortable the age difference made me and how that was never really addressed. Maybe I missed something. Aside from that this film addressed romance SOO well and boy oh boy that monologue in the end. Definitely check it out.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

It was great. beautifully shot, good pacing, little confusing at times but that’s just because I got a stomach ache halfway through and it distracted me. Good stuff tho. 👍🏼

The Sound of Music

1965

★★ 15

Hey, I know a lot of people love this movie but like....not my thing. I don't know, man. It's long, it's a little boring imo, not my thing. SORRRYYY!!

The Shape of Water

2017

★★★½ Liked 2

Boy oh boy, this is an odd one. The way it told the story was very hypnotic and the pace was pretty much flawless. On top of that, this film is beautiful in both it's visuals and it's writing. Also one of the better endings I've seen this year.

My issue is that the tone seemed to be a little all over the place. Couldn't really tell what exactly I was supposed to be watching or feeling in a couple of the scenes. I also wish the rest of the film took itself as serious as the ending did.

Shaun of the Dead

2004

Just rewatched it with my pops. He fell asleep but I loved it just as much the second time. Such a goofy ride, not sure how you can’t smile while watching this.

Captain Fantastic

2016

★★★★ Liked 3

Wowwwww, was not expecting that much of an emotional ride. Beautifully shot, really sad, kind of confused on where to stand on the whole thing.  I cannot recommend it enough. Half star off for the song they sang near the end, sorry. It was a little awkward and threw me off a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Star Wars

1977

Figured I'd give this a review. This film is awesome, man. It's hard to review it as a film on it's own without knowing the influence and monster it turned into, but it's good. Great story, blah blah, it deserves everything it's received.

MAN was this great. Every scene was unpredictable, it was funny, some nice social commentary, great performances, overall really great. Definitely see it if you get the chance.
