The Colo(u)r of Money(1986) Watch along!

Yo!!!

****Spoilers Below****

I absolutely loved THIS MOVIE!! I think it's a brilliant continuation of Fast Eddie Felson’s story!! Paul Newman’s performance is nothing short of iconic, showcasing his incredible range as an actor. I definitely rambled on and made no sense in my outro, so here is my attempt to write something in honour of how much I appreciate Paul Newman's Artistry!!

I loved his growth in the film from the first. His tra...

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

#36 on the AFI List and recent Poll Winner! The Bridge on the River Kwai

*****Slight SPOILERS Below*****

David Lean’s direction in The Bridge on the River Kwai is pure genius, and I'm blown away (pun intended) by his artistry and his vision, alongside Jack Hildyard's cinematography, was quite the chef's kiss! The locations are stunning and really popped in technicolour! I especially LOVED the wide shots capturing the raw beauty of the jungle ...

The Gold Rush (1925 Version)

#58 on the AFI list - 100 year old movie SLAY!

******SPOILERS BELOW********

Man, I’m absolutely blown away by The Gold Rush! After watching, I kept imagining myself in a 1925 theatre, watching this silent film flicker on the screen with no sound, but the laughter and perhaps gasps from the crowd! It must have been so wonderful! The sequences and filming techniques must’ve been mind-blowing back then! The way Chaplin pulls off those stunts an...

Stargate (1994)

The 2nd Lottery Winner Stargate (1994)!

Not what I was expecting! (I don't know what I was expecting), But I had so much fun! Love the '90s cheese, one-liners and the concept. This film coulda have been much, much more, but love it for what it is (and Kurt's bleach blonde haircut).

Enjoy! Drop your comments below!

Nashville (1975)

#59 on the AFI List, Nashville (1975) is a really ambitious film! This one needs to be watched multiple times because there is so much going on, especially with all the overlapping dialogue and music, you miss so much. Even though this is a satirical comedy, I found it to be quite sad. It felt like an open wound watching it, and so I can see how this movie might be more powerful to people of this era, or maybe even Americans (Happy 4th, BTW!)

Let me know your thoughts below! I ...

Star Trek TNG S2 E3 "Elementary, Dear Data"

I frigggggen loved this Episode!!! I am too analytical, like Data himself! Overthinking the episode! But, it was ballin'! Such amazing sets, a captivating story, and fun acting! Who doesn't love a Sherlock Holmes Mystery? I can't get enough of the questions this episode poses with A.I.! I loved thinking about it all and became sooo perplexed by it! I hope to see more of you, know who, in future episodes!
