Boogie Nights, 1997 - ★★½ (contains spoilers)

This review may contain spoilers. 

why…

IDK there were just too many questions I was left with.  Weird movie, I do not get why. Why was this made? What was the point? fun movie, just not what i expected based on the movie & PTA’s reps. Very weird movie.

I just feel like even a tiny little moment of introspection from Amber Waves where she ponders how she can call a boy her son while having sex and doing coke with him could have been beneficial. Throughout the movie, there were multiple moments where if characters just questioned themselves for a tiny second, there would be a better impact. Instead, the movie seems vapid. It was fun, sure, but to not address all the mess that happened in it is so weird to me. And some things, Idk their relevance at all. Betty Barnett, useless character. Why do we care about her husband, Raymond?

I did like how Amber Waves was becoming a director, I feel like that could have also been addressed. Basically, I hate how the movie glosses over a lot of things that would be important, but gives a lot of time to the sex and violence. And I’d say it’s a meta reference to pornography itself but that’s giving PTA too much credit lol. - Letterboxd

I love the 80s

The title is self explanatory. I love the music, the style, and the culture. I even love that crack was really hot in the 80s. My other favorite decades are the 2000s and 1990s. Everything was just so freaking cool. Part of the 2000s appreciation is simply that I was born in 2005 so a lot of formative memories of mine happened in the 2000s. We did a decades project in AP US History so I chose the 80s. I’m really proud of my slideshow . My favorite thing about the 80s is mainly the music. I love New Edition and Madonna. Michael Jackson is awesome too but I grew up with him so he’s kind of like old news. I don’t really know how to say it nice. Meanwhile I started to listen to Madonna by myself and the same for New Edition. I only knew Candy Girl, Cool it Now, and If It Isn’t Love before I watched the BET biopic last December and became obsessed. I really like the general sound of music in the 80s. The production was different, and ever since taking Keyboarding in the last quarter of my s...

Movies, Movies, Movies!

This weekend, I watched 7 movies. 8 if you count completing Django Unchained on Friday. It was awesome! Not Django Unchained lol. That was meh but I think Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance was great. Anyways, I mean it was awesome to watch so many movies!!! Usually it’s hard for me to watch even one movie, but this weekend I knocked out 7. 😁 I am very happy about it. While I enjoyed the movies I watched this weekend, I found myself more into the story than production aspects for the most part, so I decided to find some movies with cool cinematography, so I could observe it. I’m gonna start with this list . My favorite movie cinematographically speaking is The Suicide Squad. It is also my favorite movie in general. I want to watch something that makes me feel how I felt about The Suicide Squad’s cinematography. I searched it up and found out the cinematographer’s name is Henry Braham. His filmography  seems interesting. Speaking of James Gunn, one of the movies I watched was Super, s...
