Captain America: Brave New World (2025) - Rated 06 Jun 2025
"The story was good, but the cinematography, symbolism, and Sam's journey kicked it up a notch. The nods to past and future stories didn't drag the story down. Some interesting new characters, maybe a little too many. The action scenes were mostly interesting and most had a purpose. I would love to see people discuss the art part of this movie because so much care was put into that. Brave New World is a bold title choice that the positive ending didn't live up to, but I think it was a good try."
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023) - Rated 25 May 2025
"I started watching this after some YouTube videos hyping it. It slow paced but I like this type of pacing and found it full of interesting characters some not to my taste but the story knows when to change perspectives. The show likes to play with tropes and expectations. First part of season 1 loved it then opening change and a tournament! First few episodes of that I disliked but as it went on I quite liked it. New interesting characters. Will season 2 continues be as good as the first."
Knives Out (2019) - Rated 15 Mar 2025
"Weirdly (in a good way) amusing and absorbing film. My brain was clicking away through the whole thing. It's weird to call a movie about death and murder 'delightful' but that how I felt after it ended. I didn't guess right but found following along worth the journey. Most of the characters where just the right amount of 'character' while reminding you to get are based on real personalities. The commentary on wealth and class is must appreciated."
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Rated 04 Jan 2025
"This really shouldn't be as good as it is. I love comics, the MCU, and X-Men so don't know if this stands up if you are not steeped in the lore like I am. The movie didn't feel as long as it actually was and was a lot of fun and had heart to it even with all the stabbing and murder. I had lots of fun watching it."
Agatha All Along (2024) - Rated 25 Nov 2024
X-Men '97 (2024) - Rated 13 Jul 2024
"Problems with some stories not getting the time they needed to truly be explored. Things moving too fast to really be as powerful as the stories and characters were in the comics. Great ending and I think how stories that were disjointed from each other in the comics were weaved together and how much some characters had time to shine makes up for a lot. I love the original X-Men series and the comics and think this is a really good adaptation of the comic and a continuation of the series."
Inside Out 2 (2024) - Rated 07 Jul 2024
"Hits so many right notes. Great story and beautiful animation. The negatives were I wanted more of some of the side emotions."
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023) - Rated 14 Jun 2024
"Slow start, but once it takes off it gets pretty good and the ending is good. There are times when it is brilliant with references, homages, great comedy, and some meta stuff. Sadly there is also meh and a few dull parts. Some problems with a few voices and the animation does some stuff to save money and that took some getting use to but there's also some great animated scenes that so worth watching. Overall mixed with a solid ending. NOW FIGHT!"
Pluto (2023) - Rated 09 Jun 2024
"Overall amazing. A few meh moments here and there but it overall absorbing story. There are multiple mysteries and you get to understand so many people and robots. It It has a quality ending. This hits on so many subjects, war, unjustified war, AI, human rights, what is it to be human or alive, aftermath of war, callousness, hatred, and more. I don't think this will ever not be a relevant show. It also touches on love, compassion, pacifism, understanding, and relationships."
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) - Rated 12 May 2024
