  "A writer and wall street trader, Nick Carraway, finds himself drawn to the past and lifestyle of his mysterious millionaire neighbor, Jay Gatsby, amid the riotous parties of the Jazz Age." -  IMDB   I've seen the movie a couple times and had to read the book and write essays for college. I decided to revisit the movie after several years and I was reminded what a true masterpiece it was. Not only is it a classic tale by F. Scott Fitzgerald, a beautiful love letter to the Jazz Age - this Leonardo DiCaprio adaption is absolutely stunning. It's a solid adaption of the book and translated the pages with such style and splendor. It was a celebration of the roaring 20s with the spectacular costumes and set designs. The use of new music was honestly welcoming, oddly enough, and somehow fit with the energy of the film.  I've already written essays on this movie, but feel free to do your own research and analysis. So much symbolism, like so much lol. God being a figure ...

"When a psychopath commits murders based on novelist Castle's books, Detective Beckett seeks his help to solve the case. He decides to work with her and uses his experiences as research for his novels." - IMDB   Castle was one of my favorite shows of all time during high school. Nathan Fillion has been such a constant face in my life. Returning to the best seasons of Castle was quite nostalgic and a fun blast from the past. Season 1 was a such a solid start. We were introduced to Castle & Beckett, portrayed by the amazing Nathan Fillion & Stana Katic. When I was younger, obviously I shipped them, but I did not realize just how deep their on screen chemistry actually was. Caskett is so flirting with each other on day 0. I don’t know, I just don’t remember these 2 being this ON with each other so soon, and I watched these seasons at least 5 times in high school. Maybe because it’s been so long since I’ve watched, but yeah.... they are definitely the highlight of the...

"During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts." - IMDB I have mentioned Spirited Away before, but now it's time to deep dive and talk about everything that makes it one of my favorite films of all time. The Music The music. Nothing more can be said about the music other than it is perfection. This soundtrack is what made me want to play piano (haven't really gotten too far but it’s still a goal of mine). Nothing is as emotional as the orchestral version of Always With Me. There’s no song more haunting and melancholier as the 6th Stop theme. And there’s nothing that hits me more than One Summer's Day. All masterpieces. This is literally the best soundtrack Ghibli has every released.  Chihiro I love Chihiro and resonate with her very much. This girl was able to find such bravery and strength within her in such an unfamiliar world and I admire ...
