The cast worked amazingly together, and I enjoyed the dynamics they established or built upon between them. The action scenes were a genuine joy to watch and the editing of this film was impeccable.

Good Omens (2019) - Rated 10 Sep 2019

Not the biggest fan of the plot, I definitely don't hate it, but it doesn't distinguish itself. However, it definitely propels the episodes forward. But oh boy! I am in LOVE with the way it depicts angels and demons. Most specifically Aziraphale and Crowley. I could put up with a cookie cutter plot that barely makes coherent sense for the way this series handles relationships. And the dialogue uses every word to build the world; the characters; and most importantly, their relationships.

Inception (2010) - Rated 05 Oct 2018

The charm of Inception seems to be in the need to watch it more than once. An interesting movie that explores dreams far past expectations.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) - Rated 15 Aug 2018

Way too fast paced. I am also forced to wonder if they read the books, the mythology, or rewatched it after they put it all together. I would appreciate someone telling me why Poseidon felt the need to walk out of the ocean very, very large when he was going to a meeting that was clearly meant to be at least mildly incognito.

Hook (1991) - Rated 15 Aug 2018

Robin Williams gave this movie all of its points, and that one scene that has never left my mind where they lock a guy in a chest and throw him overboard. The rest of it loses interest awfully quick and for the most part I'm wondering if Pan has lost his mind or I have.

13 Reasons Why (2017) - Rated 15 Aug 2018

It is such a problematic show, and I hate it. I'm sure it has its good qualities but I can't see them past how much they make suicide seem to be this great revenge. It's not all that accurate and I'm left watching a show that makes suicide not seem like it isn't the worst option ever.

The Hangover Part III (2013) - Rated 14 Aug 2018

Why did they make this movie. It feels like the wanted to close off the set with a bow but it feels like they just took a nail gun, shot at everything and still missed the target. The stakes are too high, tacked on, and ridiculous enough to make me cringe. Ken Jeong is the only reason to watch this movie but he can only do so much.

The Hangover (2009) - Rated 14 Aug 2018

Hilarious, and would have been a great stand alone. The simplicity of the problem keeps the story focused, and the stakes are made clear. The movie was made to be laughed during and it succeeded. I wish the series had stopped here.
