    If I was ever approached by Starlight herself, I would pull a Bodevan and namedrop all the movie facts I know within that moment.

    How could you not tear up after listening to that version of "Sweet Child O' Mine"?

    Yeah, I have a ton of mixed feelings about being "here" specifically.

    I needed more dinosaurs!

    "After all, a man has to look his best when it's time to get married...or buried."

    I'm still having a hard time believing that a movie with this much high quality exists. For those that don't know, the John Wick films are some of my favorite action movies of all time and it's the rare franchise that I think gets better with each installment. This entry is no exception. This has overtaken Chapter 3 as my favorite of the franchise…

  • A Real Pain

    A Real Pain

    ★★★★

    A real pain reliever on this afternoon.

    It's always welcoming to see social awkwardness, anxiety, and second-hand embarrassment, things I tend to deal with, being presented onscreen in a delicate manner. It's also crazy how much I relate to David. The statue photo and restaurant scenes hit hard for me. Unlike everyone else, I'm still amazed by Jesse Eisenberg's talent and he has great potential as a filmmaker. Also, if it isn't obvious, Kieran Culkin is gunning for that Oscar. So much charm and vulnerability all at once.

    We deserve more movies about cousins.
