My ★★★★ review of "Stand By Me" on Letterboxd

#Letterboxd #MovieReview #FilmSky #LetterboxdReview #StandByMe #RobReiner #StephenKing #ComingOfAge #ChildhoodFriendship
A ★★★★ review of Stand by Me (1986)
The most honest, earnest, truthful portrayal of middle school boys in American fiction and it ain't even close. Rob Reiner directs the hell out of this thing. The blocking is perfect, the tone is perf...

A ★★★★ review of The Running Man (2025)
Guys... it's The Running Man. I don't know what more you're looking for. It's a Stephen King dystopian novel from the Reagan era. This gave me exactly what I expected to see, just with a contemporary,...

A ★★★★½ review of The Great Race (1965)
Every outfit Edith Head designed for Natalie Wood belongs in the Smithsonian. The hats, the textures, the layers, the scarves, the accessories. Peak character development via period accurate craftsman...

A ★★★ review of Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025)
You see, the problem is the movie is not very good as it recycles so much from the first two movies and banks on audiences have nostalgia for nine years ago. However, it also has this cast being sassy...

Something that does not add up to the sum of its parts. Richard Dawson is obviously fantastic, but everyone else just doesn't quite work here. With the other big Arnie-starring sci-fi/action movies of...

A ★★★★½ review of Big Night (1996)
God, I love food so much. One of the sexiest movies I've ever seen — and not just because the cast includes Minnie Driver, Allison Janney and Isabella Rossellini, though that certainly helps. We used ...

A ★★★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025)
Mary Shelley invented science fiction in 1816 at age 19 and I don't think we talk about that or appreciate it nearly enough. It's got all the hallmarks of a del Toro joint and everything is at the sam...

I was so sure that, even if I had a fun time, I wasn't going to actually think this was a great movie. And then the finale happened and it genuinely got me. The emotional journey, the power of music, ...

The underwater and water-adjacent photography is beautiful, and the use of score and sound design to tell the story without dialogue in so many scenes is very cool. Unfortunately, pretty dated and sti...
