Smile 2 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Hooting and hollering the entire time. It really is like if Parker Finn locked tf in after the first one and knew exactly what he needed to do for a home run. And he did that via yassification!
It’s a PERFECT blend of brutality, camp, and melodrama; the sinister smiles are so consistently delightfully camp but the film treads a fine line at balancing that with the absolute perfection that is Naomi Scott’s performance. At times it’s so unbearably grounded…

Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans 2021
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Um. They made some choices! Some of this is absolutely wonderful and everything I could have ever dreamed of (particularly that opening scene and the final battle) but there are quite a few problems that don't just hurt the film, but the entire tales of arcadia franchise as a whole imo. The most notable of these is the incredibly uncomfortable stuff revolving around the trolldragons and China. It's just... Yikes. I don't want to say any more because I don't…
