Hustlers

I'm gonna have to keep an eye on Lorene Scafaria. This was INCREDIBLE. Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez robbing the hell out of Wall Street people. Love it love it love it. That said, boy that movie takes a turn that punches you in the heart. Hell of a flick.

The Dark Crystal

Watched it with my girlfriend, so I loved it.

Child's Play

I HATE CHUCKY A LOT.

12 Angry Men

That movie HOLDS THE FUCK UP, goddamn what a ride.

Six Degrees of Separation

Rich people getting conned deserves its own genre. Will Smith robs all these people and they basically thank him for it. That's how charming Will Smith is. Believe it. It didn't even occur to me this was based on a play and while there are scenes that clearly work better on stage, the camerawork to sell this is mind-blowing.

Hereditary

i'm so uncomfortable

Scream

Liked it way more than I thought I would! Every deconstruction rip-off kinda missed the point of its deeper message on how women are treated in horror flicks.

Clash By Night

Ah, 50s. Its a story of a woman cheating on her husband just because with a guy who does racist impressions. When the husband and the lover fight, I swear the husband actually said "Why don't you do another Chinese impression?! Like we used to?!" So not great!
