Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It's like, ok. But the real issue with this movie is how it can't seem to slow down and let almost any one thing really breathe.
There's a lot of subplots, to many perhaps, but none of them really get the focus they need to land emotionally.
Sometimes you gotta slow down, drop the score, stop cutting, let a scene run it's course, and really show us what a character is feeling.
There's a lot of missed opportunities of this…

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022
Animation is a medium so corrupted by capitalistic demands and cynicism that few people recall that it's an artform and not simply a delivery mechanism for merchandise.
This movie is a staunch reminder. It's beautiful, potent, tragic, and a thousand other descriptors. Guillermo understands that we can never truly appreciate joy and wonder unless we are willing to confront and embrace sorrow and loss. Sometimes hope and innocence is awkward, fragile, ignorant, unsightly, and we overlook that in our demand for perfection. For all the horrors of the world, this movie shines like a beacon over a weak-willed, cynical industry that's long forgotten.
