| 60 60% | The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) - Feb 07, 2023
"Overlooked probably but two pretty good shorts especially for their age"

| 25 21% | Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) - Feb 06, 2023
"The first in this series had more comedy, and the series turned dark in the second and third films very quickly. Harry Potter got darker as it went along but it had more heart. Unfortunately, not much happens plot-wise in this one and the fun has been almost totally removed. The comic relief character no longer provides comic relief, and we've also re-cast our villain to someone that looks completely different. There's a chance this series dies with this movie and I wouldn't lose sleep over it."

| 90 90% | The Apartment (1960) - Feb 05, 2023
"Finally got around to watching this classic. I've found almost every Billy Wilder movie I've seen to be great. Clever dialogue and good mix of drama and comedy"

| 80 81% | The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) - Feb 05, 2023
"I like dark comedy, and I thought this had lots of laughs in the first half. As the movie goes on, it becomes more tragedy than comedy. Beautiful setting and great acting all around."

"One of those result of covid movies with two or three total characters and two or three total places they're filmed. But forces the movie to focus on just those characters. The result is pretty good in this case"

| 55 54% | Emily the Criminal (2022) - Jan 31, 2023
"A decent, simple thriller. Social commentary a bit over the top as the main character curses at people offering unpaid internships etc. but it still worked at other points so not enough to take away from my enjoyment of the movie."

| 25 21% | Chicken Little (2005) - Jan 31, 2023
"One of the prime examples of how bad Disney got during the dark period between the 90s and its more modern classics. A movie that is both overly sentimental and unnecessarily crass. It's not completely terrible as some non-Disney animated films can get, but the animation was also ugly and bothered me."

| 30 27% | You People (2023) - Jan 31, 2023
"Well-known cast and decent trailer pulled me in without checking reviews. It is a made for Netflix movie that gave me more eye rolls than laughs. The basic plot line is fine but the entire two-hours focuses only on race within a tightly cliched rom-com genre."

| 20 16% | Elvis (2022) - Jan 16, 2023
"I was surprised I found getting through this movie to be a chore. No scene lasted more than fifteen seconds it seemed for the first hour. It felt like a miniseries was rushing to cut its length from 8 one hour episodes to 1 three hour movie. The two redeeming qualities to this movie are the music and Austin Butler's performance. But I mostly hated both the frantic style and Tom Hanks' performance/ the unnecessary narration from his character."

| 65 66% | The Menu (2022) - Jan 15, 2023
"Very entertaining and I laughed throughout. it seems it tries to be both goofy and profound. It would have worked better if it focused on being funny satire. Had some issues with character motivations in the latter half"
