Some of my movie & show reviews of what I've watched recently and in the past

2020

DEAD POETS SOCIETY

to me, this is art.

I went into this movie knowing nothing about it and wow. It’s a movie that feels so genuine throughout. It touches on important aspects of life and art. “It's symbolic of your being repressed and being made to do what others tell you and not making waves.”

La La Land

I remember watching this movie when it first came out and hating the ending—why didn’t they end up together? But after rewatching it later in life, I realized the ending is perfect. Mia and Sebastian are both dreamers, and while some of their dreams come true, others don’t. They make sacrifices to achieve their goals, and not every story has a happily ever after. That’s what makes the ending so powerful. It’s a bittersweet tale of two dreamers who couldn’t have everything, and that’s exactly why I love it.

It's pretty strange that we keep running into each other.
Maybe it means something.

twin peaks

during april 2023 my girlfriend asked me if i wanted to either watch twin peaks or the haunting of bly manor.

i'm gonna get a tiny bit cheesy for a sec but then my girlfriend proceeded to explain to me the general plot of twin peaks and his face kinda lit up because it's one of his favorite TV shows so i went with twin peaks

i find this show kind of insane tbh. there are some things that haven't aged all that well, but at least i get my giggle or two.

the main mystery of the show of who killed laura palmer was very interesting and i honestly did not see coming the finale of it. there's a lot more to this show than just the murder mystery with its supernatural? themes and that made it very fun to watch.

my favorite character is probably cooper... yes.... he's just so much fun and funny and silly... he's also my bf's favorite character as well. but another contender is probably josephine for being the most BEAUTIFUL woman i've ever seen in my entire life. jesus.

we're currently like halfway through the 2nd season where (for some reason?) we have already established the killer of laura so now it just feels like we're following the main cast shenanigans with some filler stuff on the side and it just feels a little bit messy... but i'm still enjoying it nonetheless.


that ending??? alright then... i hope to watch season 3 at some point but i'm not sure where to watch it that wouldn't cost me money LMAO

Severance (s.2) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

1/17-3/8

If you're looking for a new show to watch, check out Severance. The premise is mind-bending. Essentially, Lumon employees undergo a procedure that severs their memories. Their work selves ("innies") have no idea who they are outside of work. Their outside selevs ("outies") have no clue what they do all day at the office
It's a quirky and unsettling show. I remember watching it a few years ago and I genuinely thought it would get canceled. The wait for the next season felt endlessss. But here we are! If you're just starting it now, enjoy every episode equally.

It's like, when you don't know someone, they're more interesting. They can be anything you want them to be.
Yeah?
But when you know them, there's limits to them.
