Workshopping a take that this is the best rom-dram-com of the century. It pretends to be saccharine but is actually so deep.
You go online, they hated Forrest Gump.

Can you believe that bartender and the ice cream lady ended up leaving Kevin home alone?

2025Dare I say the boyfriend stole the show. Took a while but started to feel like Jurassic Park at the end. John Williams score weirdly deployed but innocent. Still hits.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 8: THE EXPLAINER!
There’s something about the reliability of these movies. The way they can be patently absurd and yet you can’t help but smile. They love themselves the way Cruise does, but you still happily play along.
I preferred the most recent two movies to this one by a longshot, but I absolutely left the theater satisfied.
The latest and (probably not) the last installment was closer to a three out of five stars, thanks to about…

2024That was deranged, even for him.
Save the first act, this just did not work at all for me. Jesse Plemons was good as always. That first act is a movie I think I’d enjoy.
Feel like Emma Stone could use a break from Yorgos. This was just really cringey and weird and his obsession with sex and nudity was a bit much here.
I loved POOR THINGS so I was really excited for this. But unlike in that movie, there…

2023fucking batshit in the absolute best way.
thought it was perfectly casted. the writing and line deliveries were ridiculously good. julia roberts and ethan hawke were having so much fun. myha’la herrold maybe just a slightly warmer version of her industry character.
the actor who played Rose is going to be a star.
This was better than Don’t Look Up and that Adam Driver Netflix movie that I honestly forgot the name of.

2023RDJ’s performance is better on second viewing. Blunt’s nomination is still puzzling. Also helpful to have the subtitles since so much dialogue was hard to hear on IMAX.

I know a lot of things, too.
You don’t have to know about dictators to connect to the family dynamic in this film. What impacted me most was watching these siblings take care of each other, and seeing their mother try to hold it all together. I have eight siblings, and went through a lot of years growing up where it was just my mom keeping things afloat. That lunch where she tells them they’re moving hit me right in…

Nickel Boys
2024Debt for what?
Once we arrive at Nickel, I asked myself multiple times, is that really how Elwood ended up here? When he hopped in the car with that stranger, was he arrested and then disposed of at Nickel?
There was another moment when I asked myself if the school that his teacher recommended for him was Nickel.
In those moments, I wanted the story to make sense, but how could it?
It doesn’t really matter how he ended up…

2023Can we get a Best Supporting Actor nom for Tom Hardy’s forehead wrinkles.
Was bored for a lot of this. There’s a late scene that shocks. The character who does the shocking thing might actually be the best part of the movie?
Enjoyed Jodie Comer’s performance. Hardy and Butler were fine as men who wanted an outlet to do silly men things but whatever depth the characters were supposed to have never came through. The Butler crying scene didn’t work.
I’ve seen more previews of this movie in theaters than all the rest combined, so I guess I was just hoping for a little more.

2023That movie worked on so many levels.
How has no one thought of the where should I sign idea? Incredible.
I liked the back and forth between romantic and spy set pieces and “let’s talk about life,” scenes.
They were clearly pretty knowing about the Glen Powell handsomeness of it all. He seems to have chemistry with absolutely everyone.
