    ★★★½

    More fun than I anticipated. Soundtrack slapped, lovely family dynamic, fun telling of an origin story. Comic-booky 2D context, slight greenwashing of corporate greed, black panther 1-like feel-good ending of giving back to the community.

    The Talented Mr. Ripley

    ★★★

    Could have been a 3-act movie with a snappy "crumbling down" third act, but instead, all character development stalled out after the act 2 -- and then there were 2 more acts.

    The fist half was so fun and likeable, but it became a bit of a confusing drag half-way through.

    Saltburn did it better, honestly.

  • Self Reliance

    Self Reliance

    It was like half of an idea, poorly executed, despite the star power. Could have doubled down on campiness, gore, or absurdity -- but it did none of the above.

    The trailers were bait!!

    Masterful structure, great musical performances, surprisingly good politics. Honestly a total joy
