    The Matrix Resurrections

    ★★★

    I've never been the biggest fan of anything Matrix or Wachowski, so my expectations coming in were pretty non-existent.

    Seeing it post-Spiderman certainly was an interesting experience, as each grapples with the history of the franchise in their own distinct, but polar opposite way.

    While I didn't love how this went about exploring that past, there's enough there to think about that will grow on me over the next couple days unlike that other movie which to put it kindly:…

  • House of Gucci

    House of Gucci

    ★★★½

    There was a tweet that stuck with me from a while ago that basically said Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott directed each other’s movies with this and Killers of the Flower Moon. 

    That thought stayed in my head throughout the movie. And now all I can think about is how much this would have crushed with Marty at the helm.

    Ridley’s directorial (and editing, jeesh) sensibilities don’t quite fit this particular world, so it’s the over-the-top performances that carry the…

    ★★★

    Chris Morgan, The Rock and Jason Statham mean more to this franchise than I thought.

    Still good tho!

    The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

    ★★★

    John Mulaney voice: A gazeboooooo!

  • The Conjuring 2

    The Conjuring 2

    ★★★★½

    Holds up great!

  • A Quiet Place Part II

    A Quiet Place Part II

    ★★★★

    Everything you want from a Quiet Place sequel.

    A Quiet Place Part II is equal measures frightening, exciting, emotional and brutal.

    Loved it.

    Garland by way of Shyamalan.

    No thanks!

  • Tenet

    ★★★★★

    Tenet fucks so hard.

    Cats

    “And on the pedestal, these words appear:

    My name is Tom Hooper, King of Kings;

    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

  • Midsommar

    Midsommar

    ★★★½

    I’ll be wrestling around with this for quite a while.

    What I do know now is that Ari Aster is one of the most imaginative, playful and idiosyncratic directors out there.

    I may never love one of his films, but I’ll always be ready to.

  • Spider-Man: Far From Home

    Spider-Man: Far From Home

    ★★★½

    Spider-Man: Far From Home is ostensibly about the world figuring out how to move on without Tony Stark. But it’s really about how the MCU moves on without Robert Downey Jr.

    Far From Home captures the listlessness of this new MCU with the most reliable weapon this series has: humor.

    While I understand using jokes and gags to distract from the philosophical questions raised by the last 2 films was probably the most economical way to move forward, it would have…
