    The Secret World of Arrietty

    ★★★★

    No notes about this movie, really. It was a lot of fun, very imaginative, and cute. It has a lot of Tinker Bell vibes with how the little people interact and weave their "borrowed" items into the culture.

    Only thing I would knock it for is that the tone of certain scenes didn't really fit what actually happened. There was a lot of tension when they were going on the hunt - or whatever they called ot - but absolutely no conflict happened. Not saying there needed to be conflict, but the vibe didn't match that at all.

    Enjoyable while sober, an absolute blast while high

    Watchmen

    ★★½

    It definitely looks like Watchmen. Doesn't feel anything like it though. Synder took a book who's central thesis was that overglorification of violence and vigilantism is bad, and made a movie that is overly brutal and paints them all as the good guys.

    You can have a good movie while being a bad adaptation but, in my opinion, Watchmen is an exception. Ozymandius is given no time to develop. Comedian's symbology falls flat. Nite Owl is too hot. Silk Spectre…
