I Am Dragon 2015

★★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2020

My favorite fairytale is Beauty and the Beast, so I was destined to like this movie no matter what. I didn't expect to love I Am Dragon as much as I do, however. The pacing is a little strange at points, the CG sometimes sketchy, but it doesn't matter because the love story, worldbuilding, and costuming is so strong.

The…
The Invisible Man 2020

★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2020

The Invisible Man drew me in immediately; the first five minutes are so tense and well-placed that they set the tone for the entirety of the movie's two hour run time. Elizabeth Moss plays Cecilia Kass, a long abused woman who decides to leave her psychopathic boyfriend Adrian in the dead of night. After his apparent suicide a few weeks later, she believes she got away... but did she?
The "invisible" part of the title was interesting for a few…
