  Novocaine 2025

  ★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Novocaine was… normal….

  NOTES:

  1. the premise is very unique. Using CIPA as a plot device has been utilized in medical-related shows, but to use the disability in an action-comedy movie is definitely intriguing. The movie does deliver on that fact. The fight scenes feel unrealistic for normal people, but realistic for someone who does suffer from CIPA. This plot device also justifies the movie’s takeaway, that you should live your life more vicariously.

  2. The dialogue feels very juvenile. Now,…

  Venom: The Last Dance 2024

  ★★½ Watched 30 Oct 2024

  I had an essay written down for venom but it got deleted when i checked another app, so here is the TL;DR version of it:

  PRO: Tom Hardy. Any scene with Tom in it, he lifts that entire scene so much so that it’s actually enjoyable

  CON: The rest of it. If Tom isn’t in the shot, the movie becomes a whole another thing. The acting was subpar, the line delivery was mediocre, the dialogue was exposition-only, The elements of the…
