Milk 2008
Watched in preparation of my San Francisco trip. The most formulaic of biopics but dammit if I didn't have a good time watching this. There's classic lines foreshadowing his demise that I'm sure were made up, lots of Oscar-bait type background music, and even stills at the end showing how well the actors look like the people they are portraying. Even for all its flaws, it's still an important part of history and activism I'm glad I learned about. The performances were all great (even James Franco), and I really liked seeing Milk evolve beyond just an activist to a politician.

The Bling Ring 2013
Like a trashier version of a Scorsese rags-to-riches-to-rags movie. The dialogue got on my nerves a lot as most of the characters constantly told us how they felt instead of showing us.

I wanted to like this, but needle drops do not make a movie. And the sometimes interesting one-takes do not save it either.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
So sorry to be the odd one out but it's getting a low 8/10 from me. It's clearly not because this is bad, but because I'm an ungrateful dad who wants their child to not just be great, but better than perfect.
The animation is to die for, and this may be the most stunning, elaborate animated film I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Anime may have grace, but this movie feels like it took five painstaking capitalist-heavy…
