  Asteroid City 2023

  ★★★ Watched 05 Jul 2023

  I think I liked this movie, but it definitely did drag at times. The style was very cool, and I was very surprised at how the tone of the movie vs the marketing shifted when they reveal its a look at a fake play essentially. I thought the concept of searching for the meaning of life was very well done. Some great lines about it as well, suggesting that understanding isn’t what is important, what’s important is that we are all playing our parts well. Would recommend, but probably wouldn’t watch again

  Air 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 05 Jul 2023

  I was surprised how much I liked this movie, considering I’ve never been a huge basketball fan. Certain scenes gave me moneyball vibes in a really good way, with just explaining complex behind the scenes things about a difficult to understand industry in a way that made complete sense. Great performance from Matt Damon as well as Viola Davis. Final though, pretty awesome call to never show MJ’s face, and to preserve the concept of him being essentially a mystical being in basketball.

  Fast X 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 30 May 2023

  Crazy stunts, hilariously cheesy, and the perfect amount of family. I had a ton of fun with this one, and I think it was my favorite fast movie since like 5 or 6. I do wish some of the cool stunts were not in the trailer, so wouldn’t recommend the trailer beforehand. A really early fight scene with Cipher was one of the best combat sequences I have seen in this franchise. Some of the character reveals were crazy, and Jason Momoa was a really fun villain to have. I just had a really good time.

  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 May 2023

  This movie was the most heavy, and difficult to get through Marvel movie that I may have ever seen, and it was one of the best as well. For the first time since probably Endgame, when they showed only past scenes and unused voice clips, I thought the trailer was great, and didn’t spoil anything/ actually gave me more shock in some places of the movie. This shouldn’t be praise worthy, but apparently it’s impossible to do now, so kudos…
