13 Going On 30 (2004)

 

Second hand embarrassment movies HURT me, But i really liked this movie. Ive read a book similar to this with like the amnesia tropes. I really enjoy that trope where people get amnesia and turn their whole life around. 

i love how 2000s core this movie is. i mean i know that it was shot in the 2000s but i love it. the colors and everything. I also like how Jenna was dressing like how she would when she was younger, mixed with current fashion trends. 

the message of this film was really important. like how we really cant turn back time so we should just be ourselves so we end up how were supposed to end up. i think that so many teenagers need to hear that. the one gripe i have about it is that jenna does just turn back time. like the whole message is that you cant turn back time, but she does which feels a little counter productive but i wanted her to get with matt so im glad she did. 

i think this movies kind of a classic that people need to see at some point in their life. its not a movie that someone needs to see in order for me to respect them, but i think it cant hurt to watch. I liked this movie but this vibe of movie just isnt super my thing.

What Jennifer Did (2024)

Ive heard of this case before. i really like true crime and theres so many youtubers that i watch religiously that have talked about this case but this presented way more information than those videos did. This documentary did an amazing job at breaking down every little detail of the case. I also really enjoyed the insight that i gained into the police investigation system and how they go about investigating a homicide case and all the pieces that go into it.  Cinematically this was pretty good. some of the other True crime documentaries ive seen struggle to make it a movie instead of just an organized combination of evidence but that was not the case with this one. obviously the main driving force of this was the interrogation recordings and the eventual confession but they mixed in some cinematic elements which really helped this feel less like a documentary and more like an actual movie  one thing that this gave that other videos on this case didn't was the specific investigato

Amadeus (1984)

Mr.H told me that this film is like if The Prestige didn't fumble the ending (i liked the ending of the Prestige but whatever.) I can for sure see elements of the Prestige in this film but i think the ending was even more confusing than it. There was no real explanation. I mean i understand the concept that Salieri killed Mozart, but its not really clear to me how he does. Does he work him to death? did he drive him insane with the whole masked guy asking for a funeral song thing? i really dont know. I also dont think this can really be compared to the Prestige. its a movie about revenge for sure, there are elements reflected in both films but the one sidedness of the revenge in this film is a major disconnect for me. I think the one sided revenge adds a lot to this story. it shows how consuming jealousy is  and i think it depicts Salieri getting absorbed by the jealousy and letting it drive him insane, even after Mozart is dead. however, it is not the same one upping, escalating h

Wendell & Wild (2022)

 I feel like i haven't watched an animation in a minute and im a sucker for Claymation and Stop motion so this was a perfect watch. legally i have to talk about visuals. They were SO COOL. I loved the diversity in the characters and i also liked how the nuns looked like literal like rat people? idk. nuns are already kinda creepy and that just added to the vibe. I am a little biased to this type of animation style. i don't know why it just kinda scratches my brain.  The plot was really interesting. I really liked how quickly the plot progressed. It just really helped to keep me invested the whole time. usually im a little hesitant to watch horror/comedy movies because sometimes they lean too much into the comedy side or too much into the horror side and i feel like i was lied to. But this movie portrayed it really well.  The storyline of Kat was more serious while Wendell and Wilds storyline was much more comedical. It was nice to jump back and forth between the two. I think the
