Challenging themes and well-written prose but disappointing in lack of depth to plot and characters. Left feeling like this passed me by.

"Cracks my heart wide open every time I read it, which I've done multiple times. The way he writes about music is straight up beautiful. Do you know who can move you to tears over fucking Fall Out Boy??? Hanif."

The Godfather (1972)
1972 | Crime, Drama

"It’s just quality at its best. Fantastic writing, an amazing caliber of acting; just beautiful, everything about it. The details of the clothes, the sets — just a masterpiece. Again, I can watch any of the trilogy time and time again. "

"A true story, which I love. Edmund de Waal writes the story of his family and the destruction of it through WWII. It’s told through the history of a collection of Japanese netsuke miniature sculptures. A beautiful and moving story."

"Ah, what downtrodden magic there is in here—you can smell the docks of New York, and you believe in falling in love in the most misguided way possible. Love is all wrong and is all we’ve got. Beautiful film!"

"An amazing shot-by-shot remake of City of Angels. Juuust kidding. Berlin looks as ominous and beautiful as ever. Lots of emotive long shots, perfectly composed. Any movie that stars both Columbo and Nick Cave is bound to be groundbreaking."

"If you’re only going to direct one film, make it a masterpiece. (It was also rejected in its own time.) Charles Laughton’s horror movie is so scary that it’s funny. And beautiful and mysterious and utterly unlike any movie ever mad"

Heart warming, hilarious, and will undoubtedly be one of my favorite movies this year. Bryan Cranston never disappoints, but this was the best role and acting from Kevin Hart to date in my opinion. Just an all around beautiful movie.
