Saw 4 (2007)

dir. Darren Lynn Bousman

23 August 2025

✰✰✰✰

Contains spoilers the average rating on this one being 2.7 on letterboxd...... haters fr.

this one is a banger i'm sorry. riggs deserved better honestly + strahm is so dumb like hes right in your face!!!! also eric being stuck in a saw trap for 6 months is so incomprehensibly funny like what was the POINT. this was such a good leadup to the 5th movie i have nothing bad to say other than the motel scene does NOT get any easier to watch + jill's miscarriage makes me cry without fail. this oneis no nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Dirty Dancing (1987)

dir. Emile Ardolino

20 August 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

reading this was filmed mostly in virginia made me love it all the more. i will never not love a dance movie and there's a fall out boy song named after the best line in this movie so c'mon!.

Saw 2 (2005)

dir. Darren Lynn Bousman

17 August 2025

✰✰

nowhere near as good as the first, but the traps go stupid in this one. also xavier is the most caveman monkey brain ass dude and is more irritating every time i watch this movie.

Saw (2004)

dir. James Wan

11 August 2025

✰✰✰✰

bitch i love this movie. adam is funnier with every watch and his "don't leave me" still shatters me.

Lost Highway (1997)

1 August 2025

✰✰✰✰

peace and love but if i was edward i would've crashed out much sooner.
the body horror and takes on identity and the self in this were so good.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

dir. Joel Zwick

28 July 2025

✰✰✰

feel good film.

The Boogeyman (2023)

dir. Rob Savage

25 July 2025

✰✰✰

Spent the entire movie saying "I think I'm gonna throw up". The monster made me feel physically sick.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

dir. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson

21 July 2025

✰✰✰

The dialogue was immensely corny at times and the killer was predictable, but I genuinely enjoyed this sequel. Bringing back the original actors was fun. Every man in this movie was insufferable and as always cops are useless.

The Birdcage (1996)

dir. Mike Nichols

17 July 2025

✰✰✰✰

Spent basically the entire movie thinking they should've just kicked the son's teeth in. The cast was wonderful in every possible way, but my god was it hard to get through this without being in pain. Down with the straights!

*The Pest (1997)

dir. Paul Miller

10 July 2025

✰✰✰

Watched this with someone who'd never even heard of it and had a good laugh. Stupid and over the top. John Leguizamo, my beloved.

I Like Movies (2022)

dir. Chandler Levack

8 July 2025

✰✰

A very hard watch idk. Was I crying like a baby by the end, though? Yeah.

*She's the Man (2006)

dir. Andy Fickman

30 June 2025

I am a simple guy - I see Amanda Bynes in boy drag and I enjoy every second of it.

Abigail (2024)

dir. Tyler Gillett, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin

27 June 2025

✰✰

Campy and weird.

That shit hurted.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

dir. Frank Oz

12 June 2025

✰✰

*Mamma Mia! (2008)

dir. Phyllida Lloyd

9 June 2025

✰✰✰✰

Realized while showing this movie to my roommate who'd never seen it before that one of my favorite movie genres of all time is "girl with wild mother goes in search of her long lost father" and conveniently also stars Colin Firth. (What A Girl Wants starring Amanda Bynes, I am staring directly at you.)

Memento (2000)

dir. Christopher Nolan

8 June 2025

✰✰✰

What the fuck, what the fuck. This was so good, but what the fuck.

The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

dir. Joel Schumacher

7 June 2025

✰✰✰

I get the hype now.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

I love women. This was just such a feel-good, hopeful musical.

✰✰

I hate it thanks.

Babygirl (2024)

3 June 2025

Fifty Shades of Grey but like if Christian Grey was Jeff Bezos.

Cabaret (1993)

dir. Sam Mendes

1 June 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

Alan Cumming, my beloved. The ending number and his final costume reveal made my heart sink.

The Accountant (2016)

dir. Gavin O'Connor

1 June 2025

✰✰✰

As someone who doesn't really like action movies like that, this one was surprisingly enjoyable. The autism in me recognizes the autism in him.

Barbarian (2022)

dir. Zach Cregger

30 May 2025

✰✰

Consider me fucking frightened. What the fuck!

Cabaret (1972)

dir. Bob Fosse

30 May 2025

✰✰✰✰

Woke up this morning with Wilkommen playing in my head. I am a sucker for anything Cabaret.

Ex Machina (2015)

dir. Alex Garland

29 May 2025

✰✰✰

I might hate AI but I hate loser techbros 10000x more!

*The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

dir. Wes Anderson

26 May 2025

✰✰✰

Fully understanding Richie lately.

*Burlesque (2010)

dir. Steve Antin

24 May 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

I would give this six stars if I could. One of my favorite comfort films of all time. Perfect cast. Perfect soundtrack. Perfect movie.

*It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)

dir. Ryan Fleck, Anna Boden

21 May 2025

✰✰✰

Parts of this one didn't really hold up like I remembered, but oh, how I cried. The "Under Pressure" scene had me sobbing and the little monologue at the end, too.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

dir. McG

20 May 2025

✰✰✰

I love women in STEM.

Fantastic Planet (1973)

Strange but artsy.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

✰✰

Heretic (2024)

dir. Scott Beck, Bryan Woods

19 May 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

The worst person you know makes a good point. This is what happens when you let a white man get too into anything. Having him reference AND sing Radiohead's "Creep" though.... hated it.

Aside from that, it did a great job at keeping me invested and truly freaked out the entire time about what would happen next.

Mermaids (1990)

dir. Richard Benjamin

18 May 2025

✰✰

Contains spoilers

I spent more than half the movie crying. Expected it would be like Aquamarine (2006) - not a movie about my relationship with my mother.

Not a fan of everyone just not having an issue with Charlotte and a 26 year old man getting together, and Cher was in the mermaid costume for less than 5 minutes.

I do quite like a movie with a Winona Ryder inner monologue, though.

*Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)

dir. Sara Sugarman

16 May 2025

✰✰✰✰

This one still holds up. The costume designer deserves an award for every outfit Lindsay Lohan wore in this movie. I screamed at the Che Guevara t-shirt.

Cecil B. Demented (2000)

dir. John Waters

16 May 2025

✰✰

Found Cecil to be insufferable (like if J.D. from Heathers (1989) was somehow more annoying) and am not a huge fan of satire, but the concept for this one was sick. We need more weird art and weird cinema. Execution - so so.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

dir. Beeban Kidron

15 May 2025

✰✰✰✰

Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo in drag. Need I say more?

Hot Summer Nights (2017)

dir. Elijah Bynum

15 May 2025

✰✰

The narration reminded me of The Virgin Suicides (1999) which was kind of cool, but I wouldn't have finished this one if it wasn't for Timothee.

Another Simple Favor (2025)

dir. Paul Feig

15 May 2025

✰✰✰

A lot of this would've been solved if they just married each other. I know Blake Lively is public enemy #1 right now but I'm sorry! She is very fun to watch in these.

A bit upset by how almost unrecognizable Allison Janney was and how they set it up to reveal that an obvious third movie was in the works.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013)

dir. Jeff Tremaine

15 May 2025

✰✰

I love Johnny Knoxville but this was a miss for me.

It did get more enjoyable as it went on at least? And the pageant scene got some laughs out of me.

*Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

dir. Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton

5 May 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

I Used To Be Funny (2023)

dir. Ally Pankiw

2 May 2025

✰✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

First off, ACAB.

Second off, this was the saddest fucking movie I've seen in a hot minute. I'm sure I spent at least an hour and a half straight crying and the runtime was only 1 hour 46 mins. Went into this expecting a silly Rachel Sennott movie, but my god. She killed this role. Filing this under "Movies I can only watch once in my lifetime because they're so sad".

The NeverEnding Story III (1994)

dir. Peter MacDonald

20 April 2025

Contains spoilers

DNF. Really nowhere near as good as the first two. I had higher hopes on the basis that I read the Jim Henson Company had done the character designs until I saw Falkor! On top of the fact that the entire cast had been changed up. I guess seeing a young Jack Black was kind of cool.

The NeverEnding Story II (1990)

dir. George T. Miller

14 April 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

My only complaint was that they changed the actors for Mr. Bux and Atreyu!!!

The NeverEnding Story (1984)

dir. Wolfgang Petersen

13 April 2025

✰✰✰

Another movie I can't believe I hadn't seen before. Full of so much hope and whimsy.

Mondo Trasho (1969)

dir. John Waters

13 April 2025

✰✰

Contains spoilers

Can't even begin to understand what was going on in this one. The score was entertaining, though.
Somehow survived the first minute of another unfortunate chicken scenario in a John Waters' movie and managed to finish this one. It certainly paved the way to what his later films would become.

Multiple Maniacs (1970)

dir. John Waters

13 April 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

The church scene was so crazy??? And the lobster??? This one was so fun and ridiculous and I had no idea what would happen next at any point. Definitely will re-watch at some point.

Desperate Living (1977)

dir. John Waters

12 April 2025

✰✰

Contains spoilers

Yeah, this one was not it for me idk!!! I really missed Divine. As always, Edith Massey was stellar. This one felt more like it was simply shock value than even Pink Flamingos but nowhere near as campy or enjoyable.

A Complete Unknown (2024)

dir. James Mangold

11 April 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

"Troubling time, go find someone to love."

Unfortunately I have zero critical thinking skills when it comes to Timothee. I'm a simple guy, I see that twink on screen and enjoy every second. This was an especially wonderful performance by him, though. Got lost in it and forgot it was him acting the role of Bob Dylan.

That being said, the scene of Sylvie coming home after Joan spends the night made me cry really bad!!!! + when him and Joan are on tour and he makes the mumbled comment about his drinking!!!!! What a SHIFT in the tone of the movie!!!!! AND the cigarette through the fence!!!! Jesus Christ.

Cold Skin (2017)

dir. Xavier Gens

9 April 2025

Contains spoilers

DNF at about 55mins in. Started watching per the bestie's recommendation, but could not get over how it was basically like if A24's The Lighthouse (2019) and del Toro's The Shape of Water (2017) were one. Not a fan of movies with people having sex with amphibian monsters! Sorry!

Female Trouble (1974)

dir. John Waters

8 April 2025

✰✰✰

"Who wants to die for art?"

This one was over-the-top and ridiculous (in a good way). Making my way through John Waters' filmography slowly but surely.

Pink Flamingos (1972)

dir. John Waters

6 April 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

Don't know where to start with this one. Had a harder time watching it than I thought I would. The chicken scene was especially off-putting. Divine's performance honestly carried the movie. There is something so all-encompassing about her acting. I didn't hate it, but definitely a hard watch overall. John Waters, the man you are.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

dir. Sidney Lumet

6 April 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

Robbing a bank to pay for his wife's sex change surgery? No one is doing it like him anymore. This movie was wonderful. The dialogue was so funny. Sweaty bisexual Al Pacino was delightful to watch. Everything about this was genius. Will be rewatching over and over again.

Dead Poet's Society (1989)

dir. Peter Weir

1 April 2025

✰✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

Unsure of how I'd gone my entire life without having watched this all the way through. Hate that I had, as a bad tendency, predicted Neil's suicide. Especially after having spent the major part of the movie in awe of how hopeful and optimistic the whole thing felt! Carpe diem. Carpe fuckin' diem.

Caravaggio (1986)

dir. Derek Jarman

30 March 2025

✰✰✰✰

A work of art. Every scene in this movie was beautiful to look at. The actors' performances made me genuinely laugh and feel immersed.

The Substance (2024)

dir. Coralie Fargeat

8 February 2025

✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

Body horror done right. The last 15 minutes were so campy and felt reminiscent of 80's horror flicks. That alone made the entire movie worth watching.

I did, however, have to split watching this into two because the tooth pulling scene made me sick. Demi Moore killed this role and I am a sucker for Margaret Qualley.

Hackers (1995)

dir. Iain Softley

25 January 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

There was nothing I didn't love about this movie. The dialogue was hilarious. The cast was perfect. I love weird tech folk.

Nosferatu (2024)

dir. Robert Eggers

12 January 2025

✰✰✰✰✰

This felt like a classic horror movie and was done SO well. My literal only complaint was Nosferatu straight up looking like Jim Carrey as Eggman.

My Old Ass (2024)

dir. Megan Park

12 January 2025

Contains spoilers

I wish I had nicer things to say about this one, but it was just NOT it. The whole "girl is gay until she finds the perfect Man" thing was so lame. I fully went into this thinking it'd have a lot more Aubrey Plaza screentime and it did not. The real saving grace of this movie was Aubrey Plaza and the Justin Bieber "One Less Lonely Girl" scene during the shroom trip. Other than that, this one kind of sucked and fell extremely short for me.

Life After Beth (2014)

dir. Jeff Baena

12 January 2025

✰✰

Might have to rewatch again, but all I can say is that Aubrey Plaza carried this one.

Queer (2024)

dir. Luca Guadagino

15 December 2025

✰✰✰✰

Ouch. Daniel Craig played such a sopping wet, pathetic yearning gay man and every second of it fucking hurt. I've been wanting to re-watch this one, but I'm not sure my heart could take it. Having another Trent Reznor score in a Luca movie.... incredible.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

dir. Jane Schoenbrun

7 October 2024

✰✰✰✰

"There is still time."
I think watching this with a bunch of cis men was my first mistake, but that didn't stop me from sobbing like a little bitch when I saw the chalked "There is still time". The planetarium scene still haunts me. I really, really wanted Owen to go with Maddie, especially that final time.

Babes (2024)

dir. Pamela Adlon

2 October 2024

✰✰✰✰

Contains spoilers

Ilana's character is better than I ever will be. If I had a meet-cute experience that led to pregnancy and the dude died the day after, I would simply kill myself!

Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

Alex Wolff was insufferable in this and I don't like Nicholas Cage so idk. Incredibly hard to watch.

*Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

dir. Rose Glass

6 June 2024

✰✰✰✰✰

I've rewatched this an unholy number of times.

Challengers (2024)

Sorry to Zendaya, but I would've simply had two loser boyfriends if I were her.

Wonka (2023)

Again, Timothee can do no wrong. I actually liked this one a lot.

All of Us Strangers (2023)

dir. Andrew Haigh

3 February 2024

✰✰✰✰✰

I have never known pain like watching this for the first time, being confused for about 85% of the film, only to be emotionally fucked when I realized what was happening. This one is a hard watch only in the sense that it is just so fucking painful.

Saltburn (2023)

dir. Emerald Fennell

20 January 2024

✰✰✰✰

I knew he was going to fuck the grave before it happened so honestly! He wasn't as much of a freak as everyone made him out to be.

*Bottoms (2023)

dir. Emma Seligman

8 October 2023

✰✰✰✰✰

Perfect movie. This is to me what Booksmart was to me when it'd come out. I've probably re-watched this like ten times since the first watch. I love loser lesbians.

Beau is Afraid (2023)

dir. Ari Aster

29 Septembeer 2023

✰✰✰

I love a Joaquin Phoenix movie. Albeit, this one did not need to have a 3-hour runtime, but it accurately portrayed what living with anxiety feels like. The vignettes within this one were incredible.
