Pretty perplexed by the this movie's getting. Worse in every way than the original, and by far one of the worst of these remakes. Unfunny, soulless, bafflingly boardroom curated, ugly as HELL! The CGI on Stitch is fine, but the CGI on the aliens is disgusting but also, the idea to make Jumba and Pleakly in human form the whole movie is top 1 worst movie decisions in history. Its almost line for line the original minus all that pesky charm and heart. The movies shifts are extremely minimal and often for the worst, like how they butchered the Bubbles character. Stitch is cute I guess. The girl who played Lilo was just a cute little kid. About the extent to which I'm willing to compliment this monstrosity.

Other than the fact that Gal Gadot's not in this, this is way worse than Snow White. That movie isn't good, but it TRIED new stuff. The changes in Snow White feel like it was a new vision and not retreading the original script. I'm not saying it landed, but it was an interesting idea. This isn't that at all. Best way I can put it, the beautifully impactful "Ohana means family" scene in the original, yeah here, its just slapstick. Maybe I'm more mad at this than I was with Snow White because the original Lilo & Stitch actually means something to me. But also, this is a terrible movie. The fact that this is about to make a billion dollars is breaking me in two.

Final Destination Bloodlines 1q4s64 2025 - ★★★★

Sat, 17 May 2025 15:09:27 +1200

Whenever I don't like a populist movie (more specifically, Disney and Marvel slop), I often hear the really lame excuse "you just hate fun." Well fuck those idiots, because this movie is just pure silliness in a way that I really loved. It doesn't hold back at all and stays so pure to what Final Destination is: Just a mean-spirited and gory cartoon with really funny setups to grisly deaths. Doesn't compromise the absurdity for a second, but the filmmakers still care. One of the reasons I hate the Fast & Furious movies is because the filmmakers use the fact that there cartoons to not give a shit. This movie, the absurdity and mayhem is precise and so much fun BECAUSE the people who made it care. I also loved the way the movie used the rules of the Final Destination movies to a story advantage, but never in that obnoxious self-aware kind of way that a lot of genre films fall back on when they can't dare to actually write something funny.

Total blast, I loved it. So much fun and squirm-inducing, might seriously be my favourite Final Destination movie. I don’t even swear by this franchise like others do but this is the good stuff.

Hurry Up Tomorrow 1v3s5t 2025

I had no real opinion of Weeknd before this movie, I thought he was atrocious in Idol but musically, I thought he was solid and clearly talented. I now sincerely believe he is a truly psychotic, narcissistic human. He can’t act and judging by this, he barely knows what a movie is. He has no talent outside of music and he refuses to accept that for some reason other than ego. There is a 10 minute sequence of this movie where it’s just Jenna Ortega dancing to Weeknd songs and explaining to him that they're deep.

Jenna Ortega is solid but not to a movie saving degree. Her character is a 1 dimensional maniac meant to get the movie to its next unexplained escalation. It feels like The Weeknd kinda seeing some movies and trying to do that while also promoting his album. He tries to hide his narcissism by pretending to be self-aware of whatever the hell this movie is suggesting he did to an ex, but then flipping the script by going “guys this new album is my honest one, I swear. But more importantly, available to stream right now.”

Trey Edward Shults isn’t off the hook either, however in the past, his genre-bending maximalism had purpose, and it feels at odds here with The Weeknd going “am I doing an A24?” He co-wrote the movie, so he crafted this version of himself to act in a way that he is incapable of. There’s so much dizzying nothing in this movie and in between, it’s The Weeknd channelling his inner Gal Gadot by making the scene worse by “acting”

So yeah, no stars. I’m not fucking around here.

Don’t think it’s very healthy to act like this is a miracle just because it isn’t a total shit stain. First half is pretty unbearable but the second half does dive into something much much more interesting and emotionally character driven

I think it’s patient nature both benefits and also drowns out the concept and themes. Like I can very much see David Cronenbergs sincerity on the grief his character and him feel, but it also stopped the film from having an extra punch I was waiting for and never got. Still really into it though
