    ★★★★

    Maybe the key ingredient to making a great movie is just to let Jason Clarke interrogate people with an escalating amount of intensity.

    Hundreds of Beavers

    A rare DNF. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I’m an idiot and can’t focus when the Yankees could theoretically made a trade or free agent signing at any minute.

    Will definitely revisit this in the future. This was so so so impressive and clever.

    Juan Soto I miss you so much 💔

    It's one thing to want to put your own spin on a classic story. It's another thing entirely to not understand what made the story great in the first place.

    My last direct-to-video DC movie. They're bad!

    ★½

    The animation is balls compared to what it could/should be, the dialogue is incredibly lame, the changes they made are either flat-out weird or cynically done to add more action and the amount of puns/illusions to Harvey becoming Two Face made me want to kill myself. Oh you’re of two minds on something Harvey?? Such clever writing!!

    After Hush, I have no faith they’re actually going to keep it to the original killer, which is exactly what you want from…

  • The Phenomenon

    The Phenomenon

    ★★★½

    It’s funny to me how UFOs were front page, international news at the same time WWII was ending, and now the conversations about the 99.99% likelihood of extraterrestrial life is relegated to subreddits and a kitschy CNN headline every now and again.

    Aliens are out there, they must be social distancing, right????

    @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris pls tell us.

    The most puzzling thing about Jon Stewart's second film Irresistible is that it's nothing like him. It's not clever, empathetic, insightful or, even though the twist tries to convince you otherwise, informative. Instead, Irresistible is a movie with an identity crisis.

    The one thing that could have saved the movie is Carrell, who unfortunately is doing the usual schtick. His character doesn't come within 25 miles of being likable, which is a…

    Superman: Red Son

    ★★★

    Lmaooooo. Comrade. Failures of capitalism. Stalin getting laser-eyed to death. “America First!” This was ridiculous.

    On the one hand, I really appreciate these DC animation movies for bringing classic graphic novels to life in a different medium.

    On the other, they take great stories and adapt them seemingly as cheaply as possible, which shows in the final product. Red Son is the latest example of that. It’s not as awful as Hush from last year, but it’s also not as…

    It’s Scott Pilgrim, but stupid.

    Daniel Radcliffe is legitimately great tho. Gotta support my man.

  • Avengers: Endgame

    Avengers: Endgame

    ★★★★

    NOTES REVIEW:
    - Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.

    - Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.

    - “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.

    - “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.

    - I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

  • Jackie

    Jackie

    ★★★★½

    An endlessly moving portrait of grief. It’s ridiculous that Portman lost the Oscar to Emma Stone, as great as she is.

    Probably the biggest snub or whatever of the last decade.

    The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

    ★★★★½

    Thrilled to report that this still wholly, completely, totally owns from start to finish.

    Everyone is hot, the music bangs and this movies comedic sensibilities are off the charts great. Truly one of the most under-appreciated movies of the 2010’s.

    We should be getting one of these every few years until the end of time, but alas, it flopped. Damn you all to hell.
