The People's Joker 2022
Once this started, I was a little worried it would be too weird for me (or you all) to like or connect to it... but once Vera Drew starts to bear her soul, you start to piece together what she is trying to accomplish with this wild collage of characters and imagery from the Batman universe. And wild is an understatement - this movie is fucking bonkers, but in a punk rock sort of way, which I really enjoyed. It…

Flow 2024
Not since Hundreds of Beavers have I been this captivated by a film with no dialogue!
But in all seriousness, this film had me completely engaged. I've never been so concerned for a cat's well-being than this. This film's world-building is astounding, but more impressive is how much they make you empathize and feel for these animals as they try to navigate their way through a newly inundated landscape that.

How the hell was this not nominated for a single Oscar?! COME ON!! One of the best movies of 2024, hands down. I don’t know a damn thing about tennis, other than the fact that you hit a ball back and forth with a racket, but this movies had me totally engrossed! Incredible performances, kinetic camerawork, killer score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, and sexy as all get out, even though there isn’t a single sex scene! But the chemistry between Zendaya, Mike Frost, and Josh O’Conner is palpable. Sweat is quite literally dripping off screen!

What’s most impressive to me is not the visuals or the soundtrack or the performances, though those are all as good here as they were in Vol. 1 - but the fact that JamesGunn can deliver multiple emotional payoffs. I felt for the sisterly bond between Gamora and Nebula and for Rocket realizing that his new-found family won’t leave him no matter how much he pushes them away and especially for Yandu saving his kid and getting a Ravager funeral.
I’m glad Gunn’s returning to finish his trilogy but it’s a real shame the MCU lost him to DC.
