  • The Brutalist

    The Brutalist 2024

    ★★½ Watched 03 Jan 2025

    Pearce might give one of my 10 favorite performances of the decade here, but as a whole I just couldn’t get on this movie’s wavelength. Maybe I could have in the 2.5 hour version that’s buried within.

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 2011

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Jan 2025

    One of the few reasons why I’m begrudgingly excited for the series is that they can fix everything post-Neville’s stand.

    Harry and Voldemort fighting around the castle is cool, but that final showdown in front of nobody, Voldemort evaporating and the Elder Wand talk at the end just irk me. You could have squeezed so much more emotion out of all that.

    Two things they won’t improve though: the Prince’s tale and the resurrection stone sequences. I bawl like a baby every single time.

    Dark Crimes 2016

    ½ Watched 22 May 2018

    *opening credits are cut between clips of women being abused by dudes in suits*

    What kind of perverse monster would start off a movie this way?

    *cuts to logo of Brett Ratner's production company*

    Oh that makes sense.

  • Ant-Man and the Wasp

    Ant-Man and the Wasp 2018

    ★½ Watched 07 Jul 2018 6

    If you're looking for a sequel to a fun movie to challenge you on a emotional level: watch Paddington 2.

    If you're looking for a sequel to push its narrative in a fresh direction: watch Paddington 2.

    If you're looking for a script that has anything resembling ambition or ingenuity: watch Paddington 2.

    If you want to continue giving these movies a pass even though I'm positive you know this one was kinda sucky because #Marvel #Is #Fun: Maybe watch…
