Close Encounters and Contact (also Project Hail Mary shoutout!!!!!) do something to me…. they show a reflection of things we define as making us human in an extraterrestrial species, which doesn’t take away from the human-ness of it, but provides a link across lightyears that can connect us to an entirely different species. Close encounters shows the simple curiosity between our species - a first contact made for no reason other than to have contact!! Something we humans have been attempting for decades!!! It’s glorious to see that natural desire for exploration and discovery in another species! And Contact (oh my beloved) has in my opinion everything I’d want from first contact. “The only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other”????? NOT ONLY ARE WE NOT ALONE, WE ARE NOT ALONE IN OUR LONELINESS. THE DESIRE FOR COMMUNICATION AND A FRIEND TO COMBAT THE LONELINESS IS UNIVERSAL!!!! Im having many emotions

DUNE (2021)
Grade: B
I was a little slow coming around to it, but the 2nd half is great after they develop the char's a little. The last 20 minutes or so leaves wanting more. Don't waste your time watching the OG version ever. The score is low-key pushes this film.

Keanu Reeves,THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS (2021)
Grade: D
This was not worth the hype or anything really. I was shocked how bad it was. Terrible. Little surprised no one gave them a bigger budget cause this looked like a student film. Only for the die hard fans of the previous films.

Usually, whenever I have "movie night", I tend to watch 70s-80s action/exploitation/grindhouse movies. However, this month, I've been doing something a little different, what I call "Jeanuary". Basically, I've been watching the movies of the late Jean-Luc Godard, and the most recent one I watched was Alphaville, starring Eddie Constantine as secret agent Lemmy Caution. I thought it was a very good movie because not only did it have elements of film noir, but it even used a couple of tropes from the 70s-80s movies I like so much. I would DEFINITELY watch again!
