85 71% Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023) - Rated 24 Mar 2024
"fun to see a fresh take on the "universe" and get deeper into the other characters in the series, but the later story it lands on isn't particularly interesting. this series reckons more with Scott and Ramona being villainous in their own ways. the visual style is great and has some cool music too"
85 71% Atlanta (2016) - Rated 18 Mar 2024
"dramatic but funny, with some steps into the surreal. later on the show gets wild with independent episodes telling stories about race, from both black and white perspectives."
80 42% It (2017) - Rated 25 Feb 2024
"some cool special effects and scenes with Pennywise"
80 42% Barbie (2023) - Rated 18 Feb 2024
"a fun lampooning of patriarchy. "I am Kenough""
85 71% I'm Your Man (2021) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"a pretty well done, but not perfect movie exploring AI and the nature of our desires. the plot pacing and some writing could be improved, but there were some great shots and music. thought provoking, and with a great ending."
80 42% Reservation Dogs (2021) - Rated 02 Feb 2024
"a comedy drama that can be silly but still gets pretty serious. most often dealing with loss of loved ones, but also the struggles of becoming an adult, respecting but satirizing tradition. the representation and unique window into native american culture is excellent"
80 42% Oppenheimer (2023) - Rated 16 Jan 2024
"the film works well as a procedural outlining the history of Oppie and his development of the bomb, but doesn't do much to grasp at the aftermath or what it means. i found the third act pivot to courtroom drama odd, though it worked pretty well"
85 71% The Menu (2022) - Rated 16 Jan 2024
"a calm thriller that straightforwardly lampoons the excess and pretentiousness of the rich. a well-structured cathartic plot and funny too"
85 71% The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) - Rated 07 Jan 2024
"watching this again years later I found I didn't love it nearly as much. it's hard to criticize excess, when the whole point is to put it on display, but it became repetitive and a bit one note after a while. it's still pretty funny, well acted, overall a good time for its 3 hour length."
80 42% Attack on Titan (2013) - Rated 28 Dec 2023
"a series composed of about half action, and half politics. the politics and plotting isn't always compelling, and the themes basically come to roost on the most obvious ie war is hell, war is cyclical and comes from fear, etc. the fights are animated pretty well."
