  Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1988

  ★★★ Added

  This movie is a classic that's praised for it's revolutionary special affects work, and the combining of live-action, and animation. The film however, is somewhat overrated, as most only see the visuals, and forget the other aspects of the film. The plot, while entertaining was somewhat predictable and convenient. I felt like I always knew where the story was headed and never felt like the film did anything special or different other than the animation. However, the film was still very enjoyable and I would be open to watching it again although I wouldn't go out of my way to.

The film was quite predictable and I don't remember a time where a film tried to do anything different or interesting. It liked to play it safe. While I wasn't particularly bored during the film, I'll probably forget about it in the next week or so.

For example, Booksmart takes beloved tropes and stereotypes, and flips them on their heads adding depth and characterization, and making them actual people. The lighting choices and shot composition definitely enhanced the film, and while every single scene wasn't necessarily revolutionary, the film definitely…

  Hail, Caesar! 2016

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Jan 2020

  Hail, Caesar is a nice break from the seriousness of Hollywood, and shows that the tone of the movie, does not equate to quality. One thing this movie has going for it, is its amazing cast that fit in perfectly with their roles, and lend themselves perfectly to the fun nature of the film. The movie's story has an interesting, and original story with something to say. It's a great commentary on itself on the film industry, in a way…
