    Mickey 17

    ★★★★½

    This movie has everything. Screwball comedy, action, horror, romance… Dan Cortez (jk). But actually though, what a fun romp through space. BJH can comment on so much of humanity and society through such wonderful character actors and built-through worlds while having fun, style, and sauce.

    The Royal Tenenbaums

    ★★★★

    Wes hitting his quirky ensemble stride. I was hooked from the introduction. Royal plays the lovable sunavabee so sweetly and nonchalantly. I loved scenes where all the actors get to bounce off each other.

    Shoutout to the most visually stunning and striking suicide sequence I’ve seen; floored by that sink-hair-blood scene.

    A good money job indeed. RIP Gene.

    What if salmon were people? Yes, they too would look dummy thicc while pregnant.

    Based on a true story. Go women.

    Beautiful Men

    ★★★½

    Not the gay awakening I was hoping for, but nevertheless a funny and foggy look into ego and masculinity. Each brother  is only concerned about themselves in styles basic to baffling. It’s in the long shots in mirrors, backseats, and obscured air that you get a whiff of the deeper point, the meaning each character seems to sense but not know.
