Don’t really have a lot to write about this, I’m happy studio comedies are still being made and that this one was successful but a lot of the jokes didn’t land for me. 

However the scene in the bar with the pool balls jumpscaring the poor boy made me laugh pretty hard.

I do the Iron Claw to my dog every time I get home

This is pretty much everything you could want in a holiday movie. It’s a perfect pick me up when you’re feeling down, it’s a great comedy when you need a little chuckle and most importantly it has a stinky protagonist who just needs some love. 

The soundtrack was lovely, the movie looked gorgeous and the 3 lead performances were some of the best of the year. This easily lived up to all the hype.

Possibly a more traumatic crash than Cars 3.

Turn down the self importance and turn up the fun and this could be a 5 star movie. 

All the wacky stuff is so much fun he’s just a little freak goblin and I love him for it. The visuals were also super fun to look at, even if they lack substance at times. 

Basically if this movie took itself just a little less seriously I could have gotten fully on board, but I still had fun watching it. So much better than Promising Young Woman.

Also that final scene is actually a really good piece of filmmaking and acting.

I really really wish I read the book first. I think the narration straight from Snow’s head is so essential to understanding his character and the movie just didn’t quite pull off the character study well enough. Also to adapt this to the screen it either needed 2 parts or a series, pacing was wack. Even with all these complaints I liked the main characters, especially Lucy and I always get a rush from the games itself.

Wonked up right now

For the first few minutes of this I was underwhelmed by the lack of formal style or proper exposition to the case. It felt like a tv movie to me and not really in a good way. 

By the end of the movie I couldn’t look away, an absolutely riveting court case with a bombshell ending to finish it off. Wonderful Teleplay from Friedkin and wonderful performances all around. A really thrilling and tense movie that should be getting much more attention.

Best non animated action movie of the year ( had to add the qualifier because of Spiderverse). What an absolutely awesome movie, it’s crazy how much more effective and terrifying Godzilla can be when the world around him is fully developed. 

The atomic breath in this movie made me transcend.

Wasn’t sold by the whole movie, but this was a way cuter rom com than I was expecting. Not really a lot to break down here, some people seem to have pretty polarized thoughts about this but I thought it was fun and cute.

This is my “literally me” movie. What an absolutely pathetic short king. 

There’s a good chance I’ll be back here later to write more. If not someone remind me.

Edit: I actually didn’t really feel like writing more

For the sequel I hope the kids in the front of our theater are seated at that dinner table. Absolutely tomfoolery going on with those children.
