An amazing film all around, Guadagnino is easily one of my favorite working directors. 


The characters and their performances are the foundation of the movie and they’re all so good. The chemistry/dynamic between all three of them keeps you invested the whole time. Josh O’Connor is the standout for me. 

A very, very sensual movie but it plays into that and is woven into the core of the movie. It’s just so good. 

Maybe a little too much slow-mo towards…

Kung Fu Panda 4

★★★ Watched

A cute film, but definitely the weakest of the franchise. The story doesn't seem necessary at all in the context of the other films, but still a relatively fun adventure.

As long as Jack Black continues to return as Po, I'll happily watch all these movies as they come out.

★★★★ Rewatched

Still a great action flick but it definitely has more of a goofy/silly vibe to it. I prefer the tone of Fallout but this was still a lot of fun.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Slightly more goofy, or unbelievable, than I , but still a lot of fun.

This movie was great. The performances were all amazing and Tye Sheridan especially stood out. The look and feel of the South was really brought out by the cinematography and looked gorgeous.

The script was also very strong and everything that was included in the story came back around towards the end and had a purpose - this made the movie very satisfying to watch. This was just a great movie and very well-done, not much about it to dislike at all.
