25 APR 22 Moonstruck 1987 4 out of 5 stars Just felt like a hangout with an Italian family I didn’t know I needed

10 MAR 22 Punch-Drunk Love 2002 2.5 out of 5 stars This one didn’t do it for me. The silhouette lighting was nice.
09 MAR 22 Phantom Thread 2017 4.5 out of 5 stars Paul Thomas Anderson has his finger on the pulse of crafting veiled characters.
06 MAR 22 All About Eve 1950 4.5 out of 5 stars Really really enjoyed this. Such a well written script and we’ll acted by Bette Davis.
06 MAR 22 There Will Be Blood 2007 5 out of 5 stars Incredibly made movie. A modern western for sure and Daniel day Lewis stole the show.

27 JAN 22 Stand by Me 1986 4 out of 5 stars Simple story but boy what a screenplay and acting.
