review shelf
13 loggedmostly films from an older movie reviews site I used to run, but I will be adding more cafes, restaurants, bars, and other favorites here.
review note
just a personal shelf for things I watched, ate, drank, or visited and wanted to remember. a small archive of places, meals, films, and other passing things that felt good enough, strange enough, or meaningful enough to to be worth a line or two.
somewhere between recommendation list, field notes, and diary entry.
Cha-Tea has been my go-to forever, but I had to come back for a fresh picture for this review. I have been going here for like three years now, and the Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée still never disappoints. At this point it i...

read full noteADEN is a cute little spot that is very good for sitting down with coffee and getting something done. It is usually calm, but never dead; just enough background life to make it feel nice to be there. I go here four or fi...

read full noteDefinitely an underrated film regardless of it's popularity. Watching this might change your understanding of love and relationships. It kinda questions the idea of marriage - which is saying something. I didn't think it...
read full noteAnother great rom com. Rom Coms are great. This one was fun for the most part, sad for bits, and wholesome for a great part as well. A man hits his lowest, finds a stranger friend, and they have fun. Eventually they both...
read full noteA very feel-good, fun, silly, unrealistic movie to watch. Don't get me wrong, sometimes (all the time for me) you don't care about the story being realistic. I really loved watching this. It's about a divorced middle-age...
read full noteThis was new. This movie romanticised life, love, and death. The way the story is portrayed is amazing and different from what we might be used to. It's a classic with a great message (if that matters). Pacing is fine. I...
read full noteIf you like murder mysteries - this should be your next watch. I am biased but this is for sure on of the greatest murder mysteries out there. The story, the pacing, and the casting - everything is perfect. The "murderer...

read full noteDefinitely one of my favorite films ever. The music is on point, if you care. La La Land is a breath of fresh air amidst all these movies that are too silly sometimes. As some one who loves silly films (you'll find a lot...
read full noteIt starts off so well and the concept is interesting. The story, overall, is predicatable - regardless it's a very fun watch with a great message. Definitely a chill, feel-good movie to watch with friends and family.
