Movie

A (mostly) up-to-date film, movies, shows that I have consumed, or on the watchlist.

Intro background

I’ve always been big into movies. I guess they would call me a cinephile (yes I do have a letterboxd which i’ve started in 2021). Partially or perhaps because of my father. He would let me watch grown up movies from a really young age with him just like Quentin Tarantino described in his newest novel that I am currently reading called Cinema Speculation. I intend to document to the best of my abilities, my thoughts on movies and tv shows that I watch. UPDATE: probably not.

From a very young age, my dad exposed me to a variety of Chinese oriented film and tv. I remember vaguely watching some adultly stuff with him. He was also pretty big into classics, mostly American films. Thanks to him, I am now a movie junkie.
