I got my #WesAnderson DVDs yesterday. I bought them via Barnes & Noble during the Criterion Collection 50% sale. I also snagged a copy of The French Dispatch along with The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, and Moonrise Kingdom. Not bad for a DVD haul. Glad to have these now.

A ★★★★★ review of Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) A film where all you need is coffee and cigarettes to get through each conversation or moment in time. Is the discourse profound per vignette? Some, but not all. Is it awkward sometimes? Yes. I enjoye...

So, I remember seeing a still of this film, particularly Bill Murray, years ago. I throughly enjoy each vignette with the central theme of conversations over coffee and cigarettes. I love how uniquely awkward it is. Put it on and watch it unfold. ☕️🚬

My #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched - I've been on a documentary kick lately.

Yes, I'm #weird. 😜

A ★★★★★ review of Bullet Train (2022) Coincidentally, it all started and ended with a water bottle. Otherwise, it's a high octane hilarious action picture. I definitely want to see a Tangerine & Lemon prequel spin-off film now. 🍊🍋

Funny how the unsung hero is in the thumbnail and it's probably the best bit. 😅

Here's my #LastFourWatch for #Letterboxd Friday this week! 🟠🟢🔵

A ★★★★★ review of Undercover Brother (2002) Solid. ✊️

Still solid ✊️ boxd.it/9gFLq9 #Letterboxd

A ★★★★★ review of BRATS (2024) So candid and raw. Watching this on the Breakfast Club detention date brings in the perspective on their stories from the inside rather what we as the audience see on the outside. It's fascinating. I ...

What a fascinating documentary. It dives into the Brat Pack and everything that circle it from the inside with the actors/casting/producers to the people who watched and wrote it about in the realm of Pop Culture. It's a neat look inside of it all.

A ★★★½ review of Morning Glory (2010) A cute and fluffy piece of cinematic comedy that will make you laugh and smile. Harrison Ford is a grumpy delight throughout the whole feature film.

A cute film, severely underrated

A ★★★★★ review of The Archies (2023) The essence of The Archies is showcased wonderfully in this cute and sweet film. The time period & how they wrap the history around the Archies was fantastic. That world building makes it feel like yo...

If you are an #ArchieComics fan, then I highly recommend this film. It's charming, cute, and sweet. The essence is there with the music and especially the casting of the characters. The city of Riverdale and world building makes it feel you are there with everyone. It's fun. boxd.it/9094xX

A ★★★★★ review of The French Dispatch (2021) A charming, delightful, fast-paced, and funny set of vignettes in this visionary work with a stunning stacked cast. This film has put a smile on my face while watching it. :)

This is my favorite Wes Anderson film now. It's charming & quirky in all the right places. The vignettes are nicely crafted. What a visional treat. I enjoyed every bit. Every frame is breathtaking. The dialogue is very quick & snappy. This is what cinema could be and more. #Letterboxd

Coming soon to your listening ears: a #Castle rewatch #podcast called Booked For Murder. Yes, as the host, I'm the newbie. It should be fun. Stay tuned! 🔍🔎

So, I finished Season 2 of #QuantumLeap, and the storytelling has been grand. That season finale with AL being M.I.A. was a tear-jerker. Now, I'm halfway through the show as I start Season 3. When it comes to writing and performances, this show pulls if off. Spectacular on every level. 👏 ✨️

A ★★★★ review of North by Northwest (1959) Cary Grant is charming & charismatic as he makes through his adventure mission. I like how it unfolds as it progresses. It makes you wonder what's going to happen next. As you watch, you start to noti...

I can see why #Hitchcock North by Northwest is a classic. Wow. Cary Grant can't go wrong. 👏🍸 #Letterboxd

A ★★ review of Romeo & Juliet (2013) Bite your thumb at thee cinematic CliffsNotes adaptation of Shakespeare's sweet sorrow story. Tis but soulless in its acting and feels rushed in its storytelling. Don't waste your time on something, w...

Next, I saw a soured & soiled story of Romeo and Juliet from 2013. It felt rushed as the CliffsNotes film that it is without much of the dialogue we all know & love. Stay away unless you want to see Paul Giamatti give a grand performance like no other. Otherwise, bland. boxd.it/8RE9O1 #Letterboxd

A ★★★★ review of Romeo + Juliet (1996) A stylish, sleek, and streamlined of the Shakespeare story. The dialogue dealt with such grandiose performances from the cast. The connections between characters are raw and emotional. The accompanied...

In case you were wondering thy results of my Shakespeare Sunday of Romeo & Juliet adaptations. Thy first rewatch was of Romeo + Juliet. What a tale brought to contemporary times. A satisfying sweet sorrow of Shakespeare. 🙏 boxd.it/8RDBKp #Letterboxd

I decided that today is Shakespeare Sunday as I watch as many Romeo & Juliet films available to watch. It kind of works after Valentine's Day, and it's the month of love for the ultimate love story in history. #Filmsky

Can we bring back Roman Numerals for movie sequels? It's so aesthetically pleasing. #Flimsky

A ★★★★★ review of Rapid Fire (1992) A pretty solid action flick with Lee and Boothe. The fights and gun battles were great. And I love the score. Lots of sax. 🎷

This is my ✨️type✨️ of movie. So delicious in its action bits. Brandon Lee and Powers Boothe are top-notch. And the score is delightfully full of sax. 🎷

A ★★★★★ review of Gladiator (2000) I can't deny the true cinematic nature of this film. The acting, the action, the cinematography, the score, and even the writing is top tier glorious gladiatorial greatness. ⚔️🐯 I was indeed entertain...

This is such a grand historic ingenious piece of cinema. 🗡

Watching #QuantumLeap 35 years after its premiere just feels like I missed out on this wonderful show. I'm connected to how well the writing in each episode stands out, especially being a time travel slice of life series. Seeing Sam solve these situational scenarios is very comforting to me. 😊
