Joker: Folie à Deux 2024
Folie a Deux is likely going to be pretty divisive. If you’re not into musicals, simply loving The Joker might not be enough to save this one ha Like everyone else, I was quite surprised when I found out this was going to be a musical, and then watching it I was surprised again by how much of a musical it actually turns out to be - almost every bit as much a musical as La La Land, just with…

The Incredibles 2004
Man, I used to love this movie, but I hadn’t seen it in about 12 years. While I do still like it quite a bit, my perspective has changed. Turns out, the villain of the story is not Syndrome, but has actually been Mr. Incredible all along! Who is the catalyst that brings about the Superhero Relocation Program? Mr. Incredible. Who is responsible for turning Incrediboy into Syndrome, the inciting incident of the entire movie? Mr. Incredible (Syndrome isn’t even that bad, Mr. Incredible got…

Star Wars 1977
As far as Star Wars goes, Star Wars: A New Hope is far from my favorite, but I can’t deny it’s a good movie. It’s almost always cited as a perfect example of the Hero’s Journey narrative cycle. I’ve been watching some of the documentary Light and Magic and I love the care and attention to detail and the actual magic that went into making this movie. George Lucas is a master; for someone with so much repute I wish…

Chungking Express 1994
I still hate most of the step-photography stuff. I like the two main characters - Tony Leung the whole time and Faye eventually. This has the feeling of something I could really like, but somethings holding it back and I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm sure I'll give it a third shot at some point.

The Menu 2022
Midsommar meets Top Chef. As strange as that sounds, I'm extremely here for it. I love all the aspects of the presentation and the artistry of the food. That is fascinating to me, even if I think most fancy food is disgusting ha I still like the spectacle of it all. While the plate presentation shots are interesting, funny, and unique at first, they do kind of become a little repetitive, but it’s fine. Even if we don't care much…

Dune: Part Two 2024
It’s just too good! Part 2 takes most of what Part 1 does so immaculately, and turns it up, somehow. Denis wasn’t guaranteed a shot at a sequel when he made Part 1, so it’s really tight and he packed it all in as much as he could which results in there being absolutely no wasted frames. By contrast, I wouldn’t say there’s any “wasted” time in Part 2, but more time is given to more scenes to explore and…
