    Pretty cool how they made me care about Baseball with this film.

    I like Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill's chemistry a lot. The whole time I was reminded of the one gag in Brooklyn Nine Nine about this being Captain Holt's favourite film. Gotta say? Good choice.

    "Films had the power to capture dreams."

    I don't think I've heard a more perfect way to describe the art of filmmaking, and this film itself is a love letter to one of the founding fathers of cinema, so it is only appropriate.

    I enjoyed this one a lot. Ben Kingsley is great, and a surprise appearance from the late Sir Christopher Lee is always appreciated.

    It amazes me how a film can be so low key and so subtle when it comes to a subject as harrowing and heavy as the one it handles. 

    Also to the person who took not one, but THREE photographs of the film, WITH the flash on: I hope all of your socks get lost in the dryer.

    Dude how do these movies genuinely keep getting better and better. By far the strongest emotional core of the three sonic movies so far, Jim Carrey once again shines both as Ivo and Gerald Robotnik. 

    I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at a movie in a while, genuinely there are so many lines and moments that had me fucking HOWLING. 

    Also while I’m not the biggest Sonic Fan, there are some really neat references that even I caught onto. Lovely stuff all around.
