Barbenheimer Part 1:
Oppenheimer kicks things off tonight with the most engaging three hour boardroom conversations I've ever seen. It's another strong entry from Nolan that loses its way somewhere in the middle before picking things back up.
For me the standout of the movie is the score. It does so much heavy lifting to ensure the three hour runtime doesn't drag. Personally I think the IMAX hype wasn't warranted with this one. There's not much that really screams "must…
Barbenheimer Part 2:
Ken/10
The main event of tonight lived up to every expectation I had and then some. Constantly funny, smart and relevant, this movie has set the standard for what filmmakers can do with IP and there's no excuses for popcorn shlock that's "just for fun" when this movie has all of the fun but with all of the quality.
Ryan Gosling delivered the best performance of his career and was born for this role. Margot Robbie brings…
Haven't seen this in a while and thought it'd be good to rewatch it before the remake. Disney's early 2000s animated movies are unrivalled, so many strong ideas executed largely to a really strong standard and Lilo & Stitch is no different. It's pure fun, adorable, with multiple charming dynamics. Obviously the titular characters but Lilo and Nani have such a realistic and relatable sibling dynamic that really carries the heart of the film.

Undeniably cute but not much more to it than that. Even at a short 85 minute runtime it still overstays its welcome with repetitive segments and a lack of reason to care about what happens, relying too much on the characters being cute without much else to go off. That said it is quite pretty at times and once again it is very, very cute.
Oh boy there goes all my hope for this trilogy. This movie immediately started on the wrong foot when instead of giving him an epic introduction, Batman Beyond casually appears as part of the background and doesn't even speak. Then in every other scene he's present he pretty much doesn't speak. What is this?
The majority of the runtime is spent on characters I had no care for in scenes terribly paced, with main heroes sidelined for no reason at…
