Promising Young Woman, 2020 - β β β β
Everyone woman should watch it once.Β
Every man should watch it two or three times.Β
I dinged it a star because thereβs a part thatβs hard to watch because I wanted something different to happen but make no mistake: this movie deserves your time and your attention and your full comprehension.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 2019 - β β β β
It simultaneously puts every cynical fight you ever may have had about Mr. Rogers to bed an also manages to humanize him by showing that he was not above pain.Β
The journalist is a stand-in for every kid that grew up in Mr. Rogers and still became kind of cynical and jaded.Β
Hanks is arresting as Rogers, and Rhys does a lot of work nor a lot of actual lines.
Togo, 2019 - β β β β
This was surprisingly true to the facts I could find. Itβs hard to maintain a couple hours of mostly one man yelling βGOOD DOGβ at running dogs, but Dafoe does it with aplomb. I liked it a lot, especially as an adventure movie with some scary bits thatβs also meant for kids.
Wild Mountain Thyme, 2020 - β β β
I guess, based on what the critics say, Iβm not supposed to admit I liked this movie, but fuck it. Iβve spent a hundredish minutes on far, far worse films that didnβt delight me one millionth as much as this one did.
Ad Astra, 2019 - β β β
Brad Pitt was very good in a role I donβt think anyone would expect him to excel in. Beyond that itβs not a great movie and bafflingly underused Ruth Negga and Natasha Lyonne.
Hubie Halloween, 2020 - β β Β½
It was exactly what I thought it would be. Donβt review this thing like itβs suppose to change cinema forever. Watch it like your favorite musician is doing another tour after a long weird solo career and theyβre just playing the hits you loved in high school. Itβs harmless fun and should be easy to sequelize if they choose to. Iβd watch one every Halloween or two.
Midnight Special, 2016 - β β β
Great bones but a criminal underuse of Kirsten Dunst, overuse of Adam Driver, who is great but whose plot is muddled and doesnβt really justify his kind of gravitas.
One Cut of the Dead, 2017 - β β β β
Despite how it looks at first, itβs not a horror movie but itβs absolutely worth a watch, especially if you like indie movies. I wonβt ruin it by saying more.
The Peanut Butter Falcon, 2019 - β β β β
Great performances from the main dudes and the main lady, but the end was too abrupt
Project Power, 2020 - β β β
The actor that plays Robin is really good. Her hoodie being Robin colors is an nice touch. Itβs worth watching once.
