How to Train Your Dragon

2025

★★★★½ Watched

Visually stunning, a read homage to the original.

Mountainhead

2025

★★★ Watched

I like the implications behind it, but it’s not my type of movie. A lot of interesting concepts, but execution just seemed to fall flat

Ryan coogler assiduously crafts a story. He curates lore and legend into his movies like a weaver on a loom. He’s meticulous and adroit with what he puts on the screen and everything is intentional.

Michael B Jordan’s performance as twins smoke & stack is artfully crafted. From their body language to their different cadences, MBJ gives his most impressive performance. 

The cinematography and music composition were top notch. Pay close attention to the music because it tells a story within the story.

Miles Caton is a breakout star. His voice is so soulful; please give him a record deal I need his music on Spotify

Cruella

2021

★★★★ Watched

Can’t believe no one told me about the amazing costumes. The story is cute and fun, Emma Thompson is obnoxious, tight lipped and surly. She embodies Anna wintour!: high fashion snottiness. Emma stone is quirky, annoying and sometimes too self assured, but that makes us root for Estella/cruella.
