Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022
Came into this with the impression that it’s just another Pinocchio movie for kids. With all the other Pinocchio remakes this year, I didn’t have high expectations, but I had trust in GDT… and this movie went above and beyond anything I could’ve thought it would be. This dark and realistic taking on the classic tale exceeds anything Disney has made, twisting the moral lesson from “follow the rules” to a cautionary tale of following the rules to fascism, the…

Over the Garden Wall 2014

OPAL 2020
My goodness, Jack Stauber has done it again. The short film tells the struggles of figurative blindness, societal pressures, addiction, broken households and so much more in a mere 12 minutes. The gritty and dirty look of the environment only deepens our connection with Opal; we feel trapped as she is and only desire to be “seen.” The music is a huge component to creating this atmosphere too. It’s so creepy while trying to be comforting, and the composition as Opal looks out the window reflects her emotions: it builds up until it can’t be contained anymore.

Thor: Love and Thunder 2022

Taika had done an amazing job with Ragnarok, reinventing Thors character for a more enjoyable movie experience, and with a cast with Natalie Portman and Christian Bale, this was gonna be Marvel Phase 4’s magnum opus… right? This movie was my biggest disappointment in marvel since Captain Marvel. They had seen that Ragnarok succeeded in its comedy, so they decided to create a purely comedic Thor film with jokes…
