    The World's End

    ★★★★★

    Hardly any movie I’ve seen comes close to blending the right amount of comedy, action, sci fi and drama.  When they reach the last bar, you really learn that Gary truly does know how broken he is and has masked it.  I revisit this one often as it resonates with the themes of being trapped in youth due to lack of direction and peaking as an irresponsible child, requiring you to chase your tail while the world moves forward without you.

    Norbit needs to be in a time capsule or sent into space for the possibility of reaching extra terrestrial life. It’s hard to believe the same species split the atom, walked on the moon, put pen to paper to write this film and turned Eddie Murphy into a Chinese man.

    Editing was kinda sloppy and cinematography felt uneven.  By the time it ended it felt so inconsequential cause there’s only one way this story can end that will underwhelm and not take any sort of creative risk, which I find ironic given this is a movie about a creative writing class.  

    Every scene didn’t show a lot of emotion either which I blame on the directing and not on the actors because everyone involved is great.  It was very flat and not in a good way, it wanted to be a steamy forbidden romance but there should have been more awkward tension I think.
