I watched this movie literally right after I saw the Truman show. Sort of like a double feature situation, so I guess if you've seen my review hi again! Okay so I honestly liked this one a lot better, but they are both amazing. I like a good romance when it's done right, but it HAS to be done right. This is no "to all the boys" and it's not like tatb is bad, it's just not for me. I guess this is sci fi but it also has a very realistic tone. When you have a love so strong it can't be broken. Memories can go away no matter how hard you try, but the love is real and will always be real. It could be perceived as unnecessarily confusing but I think that's the point. The story itself is messy and chaotic and confusing but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be told. Life is chaotic and messy and confusing, this is merely zooming in on one portion of someone's life. It's a work of art, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the more challenging works I think, please watch it. It will give you a lot to think about.

No spoilers btw! I was honestly a bit ify going into this one, but when all is said and done I loved this flick. It's very aware of what it is and it's not trying to be anything more. And on that note, it is a very self aware movie. I don't really like the tired trope in gay (specifically male) teen rom-coms (sounds very specific but it's a thing haha) of "boy is in denial, boy comes to terms, boy comes out or gets outed, boy ends up with perfect romantic interest then big kiss. Roll credits." I see this in Alex Strangelove, Love Simon, Love Victor (though it's a t.v series) and many more. Instead, this movie focuses on the trend/trope of gay best friend. (Think Will & Grace). It doesn't end with the expected couple and instead takes a more natural route, giving it a very real and genuine feel. The only reason I gave this movie 4 instead of 5 stars is it's because it's not really life changing. It's no Brokeback Mountain, but then again, I think that's the point. It's supposed to be a chill movie for teens going through similar things. But I do 100% recomend GBF. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Say what you want but Clueless is a freaking classic. Maybe one of the most memed movies (aside from mean girls) and definitely deserves the lime light. There's never a dull moment in this teen flick. I wouldn't say it accurately represents the life of a teen, but it does have Paul Rudd sooooo... I'd say it all evens out. It's funny, clever, and very self aware. Like I'd give this movie a bad review, as if! Rest in peace Brittany Murphy.

No spoiler review. I honestly thought this was a comedy. For multiple reasons, one it literally says "Really Funny" on the cover of the movie, and two the list of a-list comedy actors and actresses in this movie. But what I got did not disappoint me. This is the story of Milo and Maggie, two troubled and suicidal twins who find safety in the warmth and love of each other. Though they don't have the best relationship, their love shines through and you can tell they are the most important thing to each other in the world. I will say this, I watched this with some friends and they all think it's boring. You have to understand that this movie is about this situation and how they cope, NOT the story. It's just about two twins having a hard time. It doesn't have a huge plot, and for this kind of a movie it doesn't need one. I, much like half the internet LOVE Bill Hader, and he portrays Milo in a way no one else can. I really love the casting in this, the acting is realistic and beautiful. They felt real, not like actors hamming it up. I think Kristen Wiig is amazing in everything she does but this performance was phenominal!

I'm not sure if Stanley Kubrik was a real cricket fellow, but he did make killer movies. This movie scared me as a child but watching it through new lenses now makes me wonder. I mean like about anything. Obviously you probably know this if you are looking into this movie but the camera work and movie in general is absolutely breath taking. For some that's not enough to qualify this movie as good but I swear this has something for everyone. It sorta has some comedy at the begining and it definetly has cool science fictiony tech. It has a terrifying villan: HAL. And it has adventure. And if you're the type of person that just likes total obsurdity (like I do) the ending is def for you. I won't spoil it but I promise you will have yourself speachless, and if not you will be in a contant state of "...okay what?!" or both. P.S if you're the type of person who hates bad spelling I'm sorry. I don't have enough time to spellcheck this.

Okay imma be honest, I DID NOT like it at first. It thought it was okay, then I realized that I had replayed the ending about 5 times and didn’t wanna see anything else. And when a 3 hour movie makes you want to sit down and watch it again you know it must be some unbelievable level of good. I had already fallen in love with Al Pacino since I had seen Dog Day Afternoon. And I needed to see more, his performance in this movie is SO AMAZING like y’all don’t even get me started. (Also side note doesn’t he kinda look like Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain and Lin Manuel Miranda in general in this movie???). My only complaint (but not really even) about this movie is that the plot is a bit predictable, a lot of the time I knew what was gonna happen before it happened. But maybe I’ve just seen too many movies. One thing I did notice though, is just how incredibly influential this movie is. I bet each seen has been referenced at least 10 times in media by now! Okay yeah that’s it, what is the second best movie of all time and why is it The Godfather. (Citizen Kane bring number one, gotsta give my boy Orson respect)
