  Smile 2 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Oct 2024

  I can’t believe I might die in the freezer of a fucking Pizza Hut.

  Wow wow wow wow wow. Immediately arresting. Marked improvement over its predecessor. Super mindfucky, a lot more than the first. The whole scene at the charity dinner was fucking impeccable. The whole clinic visit. Everything ramped up so perfectly in the third act, and I loved and lived for everything about this but that ending. I really wanted to see Morris' plan take place just to…

  MaXXXine 2024

  ★½ Watched 06 Jul 2024 2

  So you do got the devil in you.
  I thought you were an atheist.

  We don't spend enough time with the new cast of victims around Maxine or developing them as characters before they face the knife as we do in X, and this performance of Maxine tries but never comes as close to as unhinged and emotionally overloading as Goth's performance in Pearl. What springs forth here feels like a stumble on the last leg of a relay. The deaths…

  remy's favs 🌟

  things this movie did so right:
  - the opening scene literally so grand and intense showing off all the new improvements technologically, they get the tone right here of feeling like a kid playing while also unironically being as out-there as a miyazaki film
  - showing andy's growing up by also showing the invention and popularity of home video, this movie really rocks at killing two…

  We all have our good days and our bad days.

  Best First Watches, 2024 🥇

  Outrageously hilarious, yet deeply sentimental. Me and the small theatre crowd were constantly busting up laughing. Why don't more movies have elderly protagonists? There's a treasure trove of stories that ought to be told about a population that is regularly and quietly marginalized. June Squibb is a downright darling as Thelma, she sells every line in the script from…
