Wicked 2024
I define 4.5 stars as “an immediate staple in its genre” and I’m not sure a movie matches that description better than this one. First off, I love the balance struck between film and musical; in ways, it took the best aspects of each (think costumes and set from theater, space and breadth of camera angles/shots from film, etc) without leaning too heavily into either - it felt like a true musical adapted for film.

Monkey Man 2024
Violence! And lots of it. Action scenes felt exciting and well sequenced, soundtrack hit all the marks, but the story itself left some to be desired. As a whole it often felt rushed and disjointed. A little too heavy handed on some of the metaphors as well. Monkey Man is the best movie Patel has directed, but I doubt it will be for long. Excited to see what he does next.

Dune: Part Two 2024
If this movie were 8 more hours I would’ve grabbed another Diet Coke and gladly watched. Part two builds upon part one in a way few movie series do anymore, weaving a complete storyline rather than stacking individual lego blocks onto a somewhat cohesive tower. I can’t wait for the day I can sink into a couch on a rainy day and watch all the Dune movies back to back. Just gotta save up for the best sound system money can afford.
Final thought, Austin Butler was the first convincing villain I’ve seen in a movie in a damn long time.
