  Glass Onion 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Jan 2023

  It didn't make me cry or say "ick" so I guess it's the best onion.

  You expect me to like a movie in which Taylor Swift is killed? I think not, sir.

  Alex & the List 2018

  ½ Watched 05 May 2018

  Alex & The List is a movie that takes almost two hours to say what most people could figure out from just reading its description or watching its trailer. It's a "romantic" "comedy" without any romance or laughs, has two leads with little tangible chemistry, needs a lot of trimming of repetitive scenes, and provides almost no entertainment. Its premise might have fit as an episode of a 30-minute sitcom that's already been on the air for a couple of seasons—giving us characters we already know and like first—but as a standalone movie that runs for almost two hours, it doesn't work.

  The Cloverfield Paradox 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Feb 2018

  The Cloverfield Paradox is a solid space movie with a strong cast, an interesting premise, an engaging plot, a lot of weirdness weirdness, and some strong visuals. It brings up a bunch of questions, answers most of them, and generates both more intrigue and possibilities for the future of the franchise. Does it all make perfect sense? Probably not. It's all just a loose set of connections that allow these movies to be made in the first place and "technically" be related anyway. I had fun with The Cloverfield Paradox, and if you like thrillers on a space station, you probably will, too.
