    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    I was all aboard this train until it hit the climax and turned into a secret marvel movie structure that crawled to the finish for the last who knows how long.

    Otherwise, loved! Thought provoking at times and best when touching deep themes like death, colonialism, bodily autonomy, and transcendent love. Was it underdeveloped at times, yes, but it still sets it up and gives you enough to chew on.

    Robert Pattinson was so fun to watch, and so good!!!…

When Megan got to her room at True Directions I was like omg this is just like girl, interrupted and then out of nowhere Clea DuVall of girl, interrupted shows up and I…

    Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

    ★★★★

    Single-handedly keeping claymation on the tips of society’s tongue, Wallace and Gromit are legendary creations and constantly deliver hit after hit.

    Wallace is a terror to Gromit and society and must be stopped at all costs. This movie worked so well because Gromit became the main character for the large majority of the movie and we did not have to deal with Wallace’s stupid ass. Only had to clean up his messes.

    AI and technology for technology’s sake are eviscerated…
