Methodless

I had heard good things about this movie and was excited to see it. While it was not bad, there were two major issues that prevented this from being great. The first was just how suddenly a narcissistic, possibly sociopathic character just magically reformed themselves in an instant. The second was that some of the jokes seemed to have great setups, but didn't really get a chance to play out. I'd suggest that a mini-series would work better, but apparently that was tried once before.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - Rated 13 Apr 2020

7th movie in the series and easily the best one since #2, possibly the best so far. At the beginning, it seemed this was going to be Episode 6 of The Wolverine Show instead of an X-Men movie, it didn't head in that direction, but there were too many characters that got seconds of screen time with little introduction/reminder of who they were. While there were plot holes, they were very minor compared to the last few movies, The story also buys the writers a lot of room for plausible sequels.

Mystery Men (1999) - Rated 12 Apr 2020

I thought it was going to be way funnier. Hilarious premise, mediocre execution. Probably better suited to kids young enough to find it funny but old enough to get the humour.

McFarland, USA (2015) - Rated 04 Apr 2020

A story that's been told many times, but a nice story nonetheless.

Napoleon Dynamite (2004) - Rated 04 Apr 2020

I've been told for over 10 years that I would love this movie. It was OK; I'm glad I saw it, but hardly something memorable. I enjoyed the characters, but they seemed more suited to a TV show than a movie.

Deliverance (1972) - Rated 24 Mar 2020

This movie was supposed to be a thriller, but I just didn't feel very invested into the story as the viewer. Maybe I caught it on a bad day or something, it just didn't seem like one of the greatest movies of all time to me.
