• the outsiders rw
• the breakfast club rw
• the karate kid, 1984
  • "A lot of posts focus on the 'coming of age' aspect of this movie, but the very overlooked part is the role it played in helping to alleviate many of the stereotypes a very Asian phobic America was after WWII, Korea and Vietnam."
• the perks of being a wallflower rw
• get out
• moonlight
  • "Moonlight wasn't supposed to give us some grandiose finale or even answers, but simply present a narrative that we often don't see. And that's what makes it so simple, painful, yet outstandingly beautiful."
• clueless rw
• annabelle: creation
• carrie, 2013
• easy a rw
• gattaca
• american experience - the perfect crime
• beauty and the beast, 2017
• compulsion, 1959
• swoon, 1992
  • "Realizing there hasn't been a film about 'the disturbing, romantic, unconscious elements' provided the extra persuasion that they needed to fully commit to the indie project."
  • "The film blends real and mockumentary footage with eerily inventive images."
  • "What concerns Kalin is the killers' 'otherness'–being 'geniuses,' 'Jews' and 'queers'–and the way society framed their crime as a direct outcome of their deviance. For Kalin, the couple are as much victims as they are victimizers."
• rope, 1948
• murder by numbers, 2002
• the matrix, 1999
• catch me if you can, 2002

• adolescence medley rw
• stranger things S1
• hannibal S1, S2, S3 full show
  • "The series would still feel like an absolutely singular achievement. It is a magnificently macabre drama that looks and feels like absolutely nothing else on TV."
  • "The show's living, breathing monsters are no less fond of symbolism. Here, serial killers aren't just murderers but sculptors, painters, performance artists — and, of course, cooks — with the human body as a canvas of choice."
• a series of unfortunate events S1
• riverdale S1
