    (500) Days of Summer

    ★★★★

    Great movie! La La Land low key did this better, but I like the ending of this one more. Wish we had gotten a bit more into Sarah’s personal life (I think that was her name), but otherwise great story about 2 idiots discovering love.

  • Captain America: Brave New World

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★½

    This movie was pretty entertaining, had some good performances and fight choreography but mannn am I disappointed. In the age of Spider-Verse, James Gunn and DC Studios, they should not be making superhero movies like this anymore. If you’re given an opportunity to tell stories about these amazing characters and worlds (I love Sam Cap in comics) then you gotta swing for the fences! Not phone it in, which is rlly what this felt like. Anthony Mackie IS Cap in this tho and he deserves a banger film

    ★★★★½

    Amazing movie with a really interesting metaphor for ex-convicts reintegrating into society. The dog acting was rlly good, same with Lang as a semi-silent protagonist. Rlly smart film and beautifully directed. Only complaint is that it did drag at times, but I think that’s a characteristic of critically acclaimed « artsy » films, as it emphasizes aesthetic and reminds the audience to contemplate(which I don’t think is necessary but it was still pretty).

    Logan

    ★★★★½

    Amazing film, brilliant acting from all involved, especially Jackman, Kean and Stewart. While I’ve never read Old Man Logan, I’d argue this is probably better, but that’s just cuz I’m not a big Mark Millar fan. Still, one thing that the original comic has that this film lacks is some crazy dystopia shit, which I felt could’ve added to the film, especially with the change of villains from comic to screen. Still a super high recommendation from me, and rlly excited to see a more fun loving, heroic Wolverine in the upcoming film w him and Deadpool.
