    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

    ★★★★

    The kind of movie that is the definition of fun. It far exceeded my expectations in my first viewing. Genuinely feels like a D&D campaign where every single plan you make inevitably fails.

    Holga is the best character.

  • The Monkey

    The Monkey

    ★½

    My enjoyment steadily declined the further the movie went on. The last 20 minutes or so left me on the brink of hating it.

    "Based on a short story by Stephen King" explains the lack of coherent rules or tone, although artistic liberties could have magnified those issues. Maybe that's barely a factor, considering that The Shining, The Mist, Gerald's Game, etc. exist. I dunno.

    The handful of scenes that cut to news footage made me think this took place in the 90's. What was with the camera quality and aspect ratio?

    Anyway, here's a list of positives:
    • One scene that was visually kinda neat
    • Good performances
    • The dynamic between Emilia and Rita is engaging, mostly due to their performances
    • The very basic premise is potentially interesting

    Here's the bad:
    • Mostly visually bleh
    • The story feels like a series…

  • John Wick: Chapter 4

    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★★★

    The isometric camera perspective in that one action scene was awesome. Had me itching to re-play Hotline Miami or Ape Out.

    Also, the scene with the stairs shenanigans? Perfection.
