  • One of Them Days

    One of Them Days

    ★★★½

    Things of note:

    •Eccentric 
    •Fun cameos 
    •SZA smashes it 
    •”They. Didn’t. Take. Heed.”
    •Palmer is a charm machine 
    •Nobody can play annoying like Mejia can
    •Nothing will prepare you for the blood bank 

    However: 

    •Constantly resolves itself a bit too easily 
    •Looks like a music video (not a compliment) 
    •Generic end of act 2 friends-fall-out comedy trope

  • Snow White

    Snow White

    Things of note:

    •Disney is running out of films to remake 

    However: 

    •Webb is a hack
    •Zegler is dogshit
    •The new songs are awful 
    •Oh my god they hired little people as extras 
    •The iconic dress looks ridiculous in live action 
    •The dwarves are abominations, especially Dopey - bro is nightmare fuel 
    •Why can’t a film released in 2025 do a single thing better than a film almost 100 years old? 
    •Oh she’s called Snow White because she was born…

    Things I did not fuck with:

    The opening crawl reads like a fan film 

    It feels like we’ve missed a film before this one

    The sheer amount of cuts in the first ten minutes alone

    I’m pretty sure the film needs to give an epilepsy warning due to how scatterbrained the editing is 

    They don’t justify how Palpatine survived hahahahahaha

    Episodes I-VI now amount to nothing 

    Adam Driver, maybe the best actor working today can’t save this script. He’s too…

    Things I fucked with:

    The fact I’m going home to rewatch Licorice Pizza

    Things I did not fuck with: 

    Everyone is a caricature 
    Teenagers do not speak like this 
    It’s not scary or tense whatsoever 
    The screenplay actually offended me
    Hawke is in a completely different film 
    Laughable effort setting this in the 70’s
    Whoever “played” the dad needs to retire 
    Maybe the worst read dialogue I’ve ever heard 
    Derrickson gave the badass kid a bandana hahahaha
