This was so cute. It follows the story of two neighboring school kids in the late 60s. At first Julie Really likes Bryce but he doesnt feel the same. As they age their feelings start to flip and Julie thinks less of Bryce while he starts to realize hes been a jerk toward her. The movie begins with a sycamore tree, which is traditianally seen as a symbolism of love, very fitting for a movie that tugs at your heart strings. The ending was very moving ♥

A surfer and a firefighter meet and fall in love. This movie was so inspiring. It had some devistating and cringe moments but it just added to the beauty of it. Movies that send you through the entire range of emotions are really powerful stories in my opinion.

A writer encounters an aging concierge of a high-class hotel who shares his life story of how he learned everything he knew during his years as a lobby-boy from the previous concierge. The artwork and story telling was really beautiful and engaging. This movie kept me on the egde of my seat curious about where it would twist and turn next. Very couragous characters. The story telling felt as if it was some kind of fever dream.

The premise of this movie is a bit quirky ~ a vampire hunters son falls in love with a vampire, and to avoid spoiling any of this eccentric romcom, thats all I will divulge. Vamps was such a touching movie in my opinion. I loved the aestethic and the blend of oldies and modern. It was thought provoking because we get to explore the rapid transition from slow quiet life of the 1800s to the fast paced ever evolving tech world of the 2000s. This movie really highlights that challenging gap in understanding between the "boomer" generation and gen-z and above. We just grew up in different times and evolved differently. If you are interested in non-traditional vampire lore then I recommend you check it out and make your own opinions about it!

The style of this movie blew me away. Its moody and chic - I couldnt take my eyes off the screen. A writer and her soon to be husband go to a burlesque show and the husband-to-be falls head over heals in love with the actresses beauty. The writer becomes distraught after having her lover stolen once again by her actress-friend and she lets go of herself and becomes bitter and resentful and seeks revenge. Years later - The actess is faced with a dilemma as she ages and her body is not what it once was. She seeks a surgeon to make her look young again and instead is given a card to a mysterious location to claim what she is after. She scoffs but after she finds her young lover with a younger hotter woman she runs away crying in the rain. She catches a glimpse of herself in the rearview mirror and screams at her own reflection and in her desperation she goes to the address on the card. There she is given the gift of youth but at a cost.
