The Graduate (1967) #17 on the AFI List!

This film was such a fascinating and quirky experience-I absolutely LOVED it. The way it was shot, the creative editing, the quick cut shots, and those dramatic zooms blew me away. It felt so innovative and ahead of its time. I nev...

Glory (1989)

I often feel it hard to comment on a movie that is already so rich in its commentary, but I love that all reactions are not made equal!

First off... I couldn't remember his name the WHOLE time! Andre Braugher. It was so amazing to see him as a young actor! POWERFUL STUFF! I love him in Brooklynn 99! RIP ❤️

The Apartment (1960) watch along

Sometimes it's easier to spill my feelings after I've sat with a movie for a couple of days. I am still, however, blown away by this piece of film.

This film was everything I adore about cinema—a perfect blend of heart, humour, and depth. It felt daring and unique, balancing sharp wit wi...

Sanjuro (1960) watch along

I’m so sorry for the technical issues on this one, guys! My poor Criterion Collection Blu-ray has some flaws, unfortunately. 😅 I ended up screen recording from the free version on Internet Archive, but honestly, I don’t recommend watching it there—the quality isn’t great.

I tried not to let the tech issues ge...

Don't Look Now (1973) Watch along

This film was nothing like I expected! It’s such a fascinating watch that I’m still processing it. One thing that truly stood out was the editing—it was so well done, I can easily see how it might have influenced other filmmakers. I shared more of my thoughts in the outro!

Thanks for watching with me...

Open Range (2003) watch along

What an incredible movie! Huge props to Kevin Costner. I loved the patience—it gave the story so much depth. The cinematography had me gushing the entire time; the compositions were breathtaking, and the way the shots were framed. Every single character delivered such subtle, nuanced performances.

In my outro, I ...

SCI-FI Nom's

To make this even more fun, I won’t look at the entries myself. Instead, I’ll have som...

Next Genre Poll

I am having a bit of fun with this one!

Note: typical Ames fashion messing up a poll. Not 2025 YET still time to fix that in the new year. I meant to do Foreign Films for second Animation slot…So do what you feel. I don’t think those will win but none-the-less, I have to represent.
