  • Judy

    Judy

    ★★★½

    Great work being done in front of and behind the camera of course, but what really hit me hardest was the scene of Judy having dinner with her fans. Laughing with them, crying with them.

    Wish the movie leaned into that a bit more, the relationship between artists and their fans. Too often it feels like that’s portrayed in a negative way (King of Comedy comes to mind) when in my experience, it’s a very positive and respectful one. 

    Go Renee!

  • Spectre

    Spectre

    ★★★★½

    License to Thrill: James Bond Rewatch Part 4

    It ain’t perfect, but it’s mine.

    I really get why people are so bleh on this, but I guess I love Spectre for all the reasons most people don’t. This series is a weak spot for me.

    I just love the atmosphere that comes with a spy movie. I love the shadows, I love the spectacle, I love the cool clothes and cars. Spectre falls short in the story department, sure, but…

  • John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch

    John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch

    ★★★★

    One every year Boyhood style please.

    Jake Gyllenhaal god tier.

  • Skyfall

    Skyfall

    ★★★★★

    License To Thrill: James Bond Rewatch Part 3

    Skyfall is a Christmas movie. Because they say Christmas in it and I watched it on Christmas. Discussion over.

    It is also the best Bond movie, because it works both as a fun spy adventure and as a movie.

    Bond grows, hurts and is made vulnerable, a rare occurrence for this series. He’s also given an adversary that is garish, intimidating as well as a commentary on this world as well as…

  • Quantum of Solace

    Quantum of Solace

    ★★★½

    License To Thrill: James Bond Rewatch Part 2

    Quantum gets a bad rap for some reason. Not sure why. It’s obviously the weakest of the 4, but is it bad? I don’t think so. Except the song. That is very bad. Will concede that one for sure. On top of the odd movies in this series being better, they also have way better theme songs. Huh. Go figure.

    Picking up minutes after the last one ended is a fun little…

  • Casino Royale

    Casino Royale

    ★★★★★

    License To Thrill: James Bond Rewatch Part 1

    As someone who rewatched the Bond series in order many years ago, the change this series took between Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale is just as if not more extreme than the
    change between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins. 

    The radical pendulum swing from the campiness of prior films comes close to feeling like an insult. Since Martin Campbell is behind the camera (after doing a similar recalibration with Goldeneye) this…

  • Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    ★★★★½

    Let’s just say it’s no coincidence that the people who say this “isn’t Star Wars” have awful opinions of what Star Wars is supposed to be.

    Where The Force Awakens excels in delivering the greatest hits, The Last Jedi is an album of new stuff, retaining classic story elements while showing the maturity that the 8th movie in a series should have. Addressing the war in Star Wars being one of the most controversial, along with the audaciousness of showing that…

  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    ★★★★½

    Could really give a fuck about the story echoes or the supposed over-reliance on nostalgia (which is big coming from me) when the film has this much great action, characters and visual composition.

    The original Star Wars was about a princess being rescued from a castle by an Arthurian figure who loses his Merlin at the end, and y’all dorks weren’t complaining about the “familiar story” then! Because we were kids watching a fantasy story, and *gasp* getting caught up…

  • 6 Underground

    6 Underground

    ½

    Any movie with this much Muse and parkour cannot be legally considered good.

  • The Irishman

    The Irishman

    ★★★★★

    It was no more complicated than that.

    There are no less than 30 moments in this movie that send a chill up my spine.

  • The King

    The King

    ★★½

    Well shot, cast and acted medieval Shakespeare until Robert Pattinson comes in and sticks a grenade up the movie’s ass.

    I know the whole “Pattinson is awesome” bit has become a little repetitive over the last few months, but god damn it is he awesome.

  • Big

    Big

    ★★★★½

    Charming, fun, Hanks is a delight etc.

    Probably the funniest thing about this is there’s a harrowing child abduction drama that’s shoved to the background.
