    Night and Fog in Japan

    ★★★★★

    It's a masterful depiction of groundbreaking Japanese New Wave from start to finish.

    In a Lonely Place

    ★★★★½

    It's insanely unique for Humphrey Bogart much like The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre at displaying such dark characterization. Nicolas Ray was on a similar level to Billy Wilder at depicting raw darkness in such a subtle manner it remains timeless. It seems like a significant influence on Martin Scorsese & David Lynch.

    Jurassic Park

    ★★★★

    It reminds me of Terminator 2 in how the special effects are shockingly timeless. It's completely suspenseful & entertaining from start to finish which manages to hone into an adventurous perspective on nightmares as they unfold in reality much like War Of The Worlds.

    One night, back when I was a sophomore in high school, I stumbled upon this notorious final film by Stanley Kubrick, who was and still is my all time favorite director. I went in knowing nothing except that it's supposedly highly erotic and involves Tom Cruise sneaking into a masked orgy club. I watched it and didn't think much of it outside of its neat atmosphere. I dismissed it as one of Kubrick's weaker films.
