John Wick: Chapter 4 2023
The best action movie I’ve ever seen for the sake of action alone. Typical Keanu delivering intense realism. Nunchucks. Another well trained pooch (a la JW3). 14ish fight scenes. Wick says like 5 words. Pretty long but sustained the hype. Musically a bit cliche but if we’re honest it’s everything it needed to be. BANG BANG KRRRRRRRRRRRRRT SLAM SQUISH if you don’t mind the sound of guns GO SEE IT.

His music always serves the film, however this inspired the most intrigue because of its source material, which for me filled the subjective gap left by his generally bland cookie-cutter writing. Enough of that. GO SEE IT #peaches

Notably hilarious through the entire ride, in a grotesquely satirical (and strangely welcomed) cinematic landscape. Killer cast that only enhances the aesthetic. From a music perspective, the score did exactly what it needed to because I barely noticed it, and any film composer will…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
Super fun watch. A lot of great reveals that will obviously play out in future films. Sam Raimi and Danny Elfman are such a good team in general, but specifically for this kind of “demonic” Marvel film. Elfman’s doom metal circus orchestra was just that quirky dark musical backdrop this film needed. Couldn’t pinpoint this for sure, but some moments felt very tributary towards classic monster movies. My only qualm is that there were some reveals and events toward the…
