“Go high… fly!”
Incredibly wholesome and in some ways, one of the best things ever?
It’s really hard to recommend someone see this without at least some small context from the series, the English dub of which is and has been in licensing Hell practically since it’s inception… but I also think this and the series are near required viewing to anyone who played sports in high school. Nothing else on film or screen is even close to being able…
Are you a sci-fi masterpiece because you’re a near-perfect conclusion to the most important six films of all time, or are you a near-perfect conclusion to the most important six films of all time because you’re a sci-fi masterpiece?
MCU Rewatch Film #24
When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney, it should have been because Florence Pugh ran her out of her own film.
Extra points because Black Widow is unafraid to answer enticing MCU questions, such as, “Why is Natasha’s hair blonde in Infinity War?”, or, “Why is Natasha wearing a vest in Infinity War?”, while also posing daring new questions such as, “Does this film or Moulin Rouge use a better remix of “Smells like Teen Spirit”?”

MCU Rewatch TV Series #2
Pretty cool and better than I remembered, but tough narrative when the B, C, and D plots are all more interesting than the A plot. Outstanding final episode. As always, great fight choreography. Surreal to watch so far removed from the pandemic and the civic unrest that existed at the time. Understandable why this series is…
Sue me. I liked it.
RZ is perfectly cast as Snow White. That’s the third straight movie of hers where I really liked her performance. Congrats to her.
“Certainty is the enemy of unity.”
I favor films that can make the mundane, exciting. Exceptional composition. From the cast to the shots to the framing to the symbolism. Perhaps narratively a bit standard affair if you like twists and probably one that could fall off in subsequent viewings… but ultimately greater for its design than its voyage. A low 4 ⭐️.
Would not be among the thirty best or thirty worst films to win the AA.
Would be a requisite entry in the “smoking canon”, if it didn’t have the bravery to elevate its standing with the portrayal of vaping. Bravo.
