Bong Joon Ho’s follow up to his career defining, award winning Parasite is another crack at high concept science fiction. The premise of Mickey 17 was fantastic and was utilized well as the focal point to flesh out a unique futuristic vision. Robert Pattinson is great in the role(s) and the majority of the characters are really fun to watch with all their eccentricities.
I had a wonderful time in the first half, but the narrative shift halfway through really threw me.…
A little too self-congratulatory at times, but overall Saturday Night’s frantic look at the 90 minute lead up to its first episode was a great watch. It’s jazz-like assembly of fun, nostalgic performances, smooth cinematography, and chaotic moments make this a must see for fans of the show and its history. If you don’t know or care much about the show, though, that will translate to how much enjoyment you have with the movie. Luckily, I am a big fan.
I like the premise a lot and as a whole this works fine for a kids movie, but I do think there could’ve been stronger jokes across the board. It’s not that fun of a watch now that I’m older.

I think it’s safe to say that the MCU has ruined Spider-Man. I was honestly shocked by how bad this was. Here’s why I think Spider-Man: Far from Home is not only the worst Spider-Man movie but the worst MCU movie.
- Unfunny, Disney channel-esque humor
- Obnoxious, unlikeable, paper thin characters
- I like Nick Fury but his continual inclusion in these movies is becoming tiresome
- I still don’t buy Tom Holland as a nerd or outcast (Although…
Better than the average Christian movie. One of the only of its kind to actually craft something competent and occasionally beautiful on a technical level. But the story is just too lifeless. If you graphed the film’s emotionality it would be a straight line. The characters are also just boring, corporate faith based protagonists with zero dynamic to their personalities.
These movies do tend to poorly portray doubt. The lead never wrestles with or questions his faith (other than a 10 second scene…
