    ★★½

    Lin-Manuel Miranda would have never been cast as the lead if he didn’t make this. 

    His acting is not great (especially when he tries to cry) and his singing is worse than everyone else on stage (which isn’t saying much because he’s surrounded by some amazing voices). Also we’re supposed to buy him as a sex symbol that every woman wants to get with? Seriously?

    The story itself is whatever. Hamilton is painted as this amazing genius with great work…

    What a colossal disappointment. How does one go from making Blackklansman, a movie that subtly uses issues and events of the past to comment on our current society, to making a movie that does the same thing except just shoves it down your throat the entire runtime.

    This is just like 3 of Bong’s movies all smashed together. Not derogatory because he makes pretty good movies. 

    He has a really miraculous ability to keep his extremely obvious political/economic commentary from being as annoying and surface level as it should be. 

    Pattinson was great, Ruffalo was great. Two actors I am betting big on, as their last few roles have been the best of their respective careers. I didn’t love Toni Collette’s character but she did her thing. 

    Drags on at the end. Some annoying dialogue, but overall funny. Worth a watch.

    Perkins’ Final Death Note Destination 

    VERY MINOR SPOILERS BELOW

    Not nearly as grating and millennial-pilled as the trailer, tag-line, reviews, and…everything else about this movie would have you believe. 

    For me, most of the big humor moments fell completely flat, but the humor in between was great. 

    The kills were gory enough and mostly entertaining. 

    Wasn’t expecting so much of this movie to be carried by a single performance from a child actor. He plays both roles so wonderfully, despite the…
