    Oh, hey, I forgot about this site.

  • It Chapter Two

    It Chapter Two

    ★★★

    Bill Hader saying "What the fuck!" the movie.

    Joking aside.

    (+) The chemistry between the adult version of the Losers Club
    (+) Pennywise has much more to do - and brings the scares
    (+) Amazing finale battle and sequences of events.
    (-) The film is too long. The second act could be shortened or even cut out completely.
    (-) Weird subplot involving Henry Bowers.
    (-) Some of the CGI monsters looked a bit subpar.

    Knives Out

    ★★★

    Here are my quick thoughts:
    (+) Strong ensemble cast - loved the performances by Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis
    (+/-) There is a lot of humor, which I found to be inconsistent in its execution.
    (+/-) The plot is a bit muddled with a lot being thrown at you at once. With that being said, there are a few twists and turns that took me by surprise.

    The ending will leave audience members divided. Not sure how to feel about it yet.

    Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

    ★★★½

    I am currently sick with a cold, so I have been in bed all day. I have never watched a Black Mirror episode before, but I figured I would try out Bandersnatch first since it is interactive.

    (+) Fionn Whitehead with a strong performance. Hopefully, this gig will land him more roles down the line because he was great in Dunkirk.
    (+) Will Poulter and that one scene in the apartment was unreal
    (+) A lot of my choices actually…
