This movie was alright but in hindsight, a lot of these movies feel very Western-centric and don’t really explore deeper themes other than that war is horrible.

I get what this movie was going for but I don’t think the writing and direction of the story was as good as it could have been.

This was a feel-good movie, the typical sort of movie where a teacher inspires a class of rowdy kids. I’d heard about this movie long ago because the music was popular with my school’s choir. Simple feel-good story with nice music.

This was kind of a romantic comedy movie but I can’t figure out what to make of it. It was okay and I enjoyed some parts of it, but at the base of it, I also found the story a bit uncomfortable because of pieces here and there.

This was a pretty interesting movie. I enjoyed it. It had an interesting story, but also Alfred Hitchcock is the goat for a reason.

A simple but thrilling story. Worth a watch for those who like mystery thrillers.

So…just the usual Jackie Chan hero fantasy movie. I appreciate the interesting action but the story is too cringe for me to watch without having one eye closed tbh.

I’d been hearing about this documentary but to be honest it didn’t present any arguments to me that I hadn’t already heard of, even in the year 2020 when it was released. It’s fine for someone who is young and perhaps grew up with social media, but as a millennial who saw the growth of social media as well as the various conversations and discussions around it, it didn’t surprise me. The documentary perhaps presented more facts and interviews, but it didn’t really interest me or shock me. Which is ironic to say because one of the big arguments of the documentary was how social media was designed to grab our attention, and I’m rating this documentary as just ok because it didn’t grab my attention.

So this movie was definitely uncomfortable but I’m not sure if my discomfort was the kind that the movie was aiming for. Both characters are so erratic and uncomfortable to be around and I know part of it is their deteriorating mental state but I also feel like they’re just not good guys. Which is not a bad thing, it just made me empathize a lite less with them. Nonetheless, I understand why this movie appeals to people; it reflects a very unsettling state of mind, state of relationship, and that can be interesting.

My mom mentioned she’d never seen this movie before but she enjoyed the Ten Commandments so we put this on for short Friday movie night. I watched this when I was younger and it was super epic. As an adult, it’s still very epic in style but the story is simple. Which is not bad, it was still a good movie. Also, I am not religious though I did go to Catholic school as a child. I view this movie as a movie.
