Letterboxd – ObsessiveViewer- Godzilla vs. Kong, 2021 - ★★★ April 7, 2021The visual effects and destruction/battle sequences were really fantastic and looked incredible.

Surprisingly, in a movie with so much darkness, it doesn't feel like it's using dim lighting to skimp on visual effects. Instead, it uses it to conceal and put some cool lighting ef […]
- Se7en, 1995 - ★★★★★ April 4, 2021It's been a while since I watched this and man does it hold up. Such a great movie.
- Godzilla vs. Kong, 2021 - ★★★ April 7, 2021
