Before Sunrise (1995) watch along

OOOOOFFFFFF!!

I synced off the YT screen record, if you have the criterion blu-ray it’s an easy sync after main CC logo intro.


🚨🚨🚨SPOILERS BELOW 🚨🚨🚨



This is probably not just one of my favorite movies on the channel this year, but one of my favorite movies I’ve ever seen. It’s so delicate, so simple—yet in that simplicity, it holds a kind of quiet, undeniable power. The acting is some of the most natural Iâ€...

🚨Spoilers Below🚨

So I selfishly put this on the poll cause I wanted to watch it thinking I may have seen parts of it as a kid but I HAD NOT! I am soooooooo excited I followed my gut! I have seen a few Zemeckis films but this one is prob one of my faves next to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This is the subject matter I love! Poses sooo many questions I think about daily.

I got philosophical and forgot to talk about how...

Poll Winners, 007, and Romance!

This month, I'll be reacting to the top runner-ups from the recent Feel’s Poll. We’re pausing AFI Friday for some Valentine's Day romance and beginning to sprinkle in some 007 action!

As for TV- I want to dive into Star Trek: TNG (selected episodes) asap. I’ve also promised Firefly and would love to watch Shogun and X-Men '94 this year! So we all need a chat!

Rocky 2 (1979) watch along

After watching this movie I realize why I relate to Rocky so much. All my life I always had coaches and teachers that told me I was dumb and I was never gunna make it. F*** all those who tell you no and keep knocking you down. If you work hard, believe in yourself and are a good person, you can do anything.

I love this story of self-determination and self-belief. Inspirational stuff.

One of my fave movies ever. Sometimes the simplest of human stories hits the hardest punch.

WOW took me forever to get this edit out!!!

I wish I could pronounce Harvey Keitel right one day LMAOOO

Def glad I finally sat down to re-watch this and edit it.. I think It was better for me 2nd time around, picked up more and understood Travis a bit more, but also still so much to think on about this film as a whole and the character!

In The Heat of the Night (1967)

Happy AFI FRIDAY PEOPLE!


Pleasantly surprised by this one—wasn’t sure I could even put it into words by the end! Luckily, I got a second chance since I forgot to record my outro… is Mercury in retrograde?

***spoilers below***

This one hit in a lot of ways, and without spoiling too much, it definitely stirred up some feelings. I was completely drawn in by the film’s style—every shot, performance, soundtrack choice, and lighting decision j...
