  Damn, what a disappointment. Why does every movie from the 2000s look this?

  Reagan 2024

  Damn bro.

  A biopic should either teach you something new or make you consider things from another perspective. This does neither.

  Shockingly shallow, the film is just a highlight reel of "REAGAN TOP TEN MOMENTS (Watch till end)" so that boomers can point at the screen and clap like Rick Dalton. No issue, moment, or topic is covered with any nuance, substance, or depth. Not only is this boring from an academic and historical perspective, but it's shitty filmmaking.

  Gladiator 2000

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Jul 2024 7

  There was a dream that was Rome.

  Quite the experience. Every line is fire, the Hans Zimmer score is beautiful, and it looks amazing. There is some clunky pacing, it has that 2000s low frame rate slomo I hate, and a few times when I feel the editing is too quick and frenetic during fights. However, this all pales compared to incredible performances (Phoenix is magnetic) a wonderful recreation of Rome, and a kick ass story.

  Between this and Alien I guess I can forgive Scott House of Gucci.
