Big Hero 6 2014

★★★★½ Watched 20 Dec 2024

beautiful freaking movie, dude. ten years on and it’s aging wonderfully. but if we ever get a sequel that is made in the post spider-verse world …. god, it could be perfect.
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2007

★★★½ Rewatched 05 Dec 2024

This film manages to successfully revive an ancient IP, feel incredibly timely for 2007 while also aging wonderfully, revolutionize CG characters in live action settings, and be a genuinely compelling exploration of exploiting children for fame.
It’s also just so silly and charming. My childhood favs continue to impress me with each revisit :)

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I’m glad I went in with tampered expectations, because this was mostly a pleasant surprise! Some of the humor fell flat and it is undeniably a safe sequel, but what’s here is really good. Just a pleasant little check-in with characters I can’t help but love :) I like!
SPOILER EDIT: TAMATOA AFTER CREDITS SCENE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TYPING THIS LOLLLLL LOVE!

★★★★ Watched 26 Nov 2024

I genuinely spent two thirds of this movie dreading the process of rating it, because everything about it was masterful with one glaring exception - god, the humor is grating. Like really, really distractingly bad. It almost ruined the entire experience for me, I can’t lie. Almost every joke fell flat and half of the dialogue just irked me.
BUT!!! Thankfully, the film’s gorgeous animation, cinematography, set pieces, and the broader strokes of the screenplay are just so incredible that I’ll let it slide. Maybe a rewatch would help me see past my earlier qualms but…. man, dude, those jokes.

I probably say “this movie/tv show changed me as a person and an artist” far too often but I don’t think anything else has ever stirred me the way this has. Hell yeah. Big time hell yeah.

★★★★ Watched 22 Oct 2024

Late to this one, but it’s a treat. Definitive proof that campy horror originals are alive and well. James Wan I could kiss you. The consistent Where is My Mind? guitar riffs made me giddy.
It’s not perfect, but it’ll definitely be … stuck in the back of my head somewhere for a while now.

This was so Sean Baker, so Mikey Madison, so inevitable. It’s like if the guy who made Tangerine had a higher budget … and that’s quite literally what it is. As much an ode to sex work as an exploration of the incredibly flawed societal applications of it. Sex work is treated as what it really is: a job. Beautiful? Sometimes. Messy? Often. But ultimately, a job. Yeah, it’s written by a dude, and I’m confused as to how he always…
Thor 2011

★★★★ Rewatched 21 Oct 2024

I like this movie a lot! It does drag quite frequently, but when it truly hits its stride, it’s absolutely fantastic. Kenneth Branaugh’s direction is phenomenal, Patrick Doyle was COOKING in the studio, and the acting is very very solid. Just a good little romp that does right by its source material :)
Iron Man 2 2010

★★★★ Rewatched 20 Oct 2024

I have NOT given this movie the credit it deserves! Just as electric, funny, and wonderfully directed as its predecessor, if not more so! It does fall apart a bit at towards the beginning of the third act, but it manages to land in a way that is super satisfying. I love Tony, Rhodey, Pepper and yes, even Whiplash and Justin Hammer so much. And despite her over-sexualization, Black Widow is incredible from her first moments in this franchise. I…
