First movie i seen this year was Last Year's AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER.
I came in expecting to hate this but I really enjoyed it. it's fun, it's got interesting and good characters and it's a delight for the eyes. Easily a good movie.
Already ready to forget about it, though.
8/10

Another trans formers movie.
I liked it better than i thought i would. it's got a decent plot, Optimus Prime starts off really angry and shitty then becomes a leader again. the leads were charismatic and it felt like a nice adventure.

Kinda sad that Cheetor and Rhinox had, like, a line each. and no Rattrap. That said, it felt like this one had a pared down cast compared to the Labeoufian and wahlbergian ones (i missed Bumblebee). I appreciated that. It's a lot less confusing.

Also I love Arcee. She's trans, and she's strong, and she's my friend.

Extra note: The pre-credits reveal made me groan and the little brother was talking about beating Bowser on the gameboy, but both Mario games on the gameboy have Mario face Tatanga and Wario respectively.

A very interesting movie. I'm not sure what to make of it, but i did enjoy it a lot, it's fresh, it's funny, it's unique... all in the best way.

i don't know Wes Anderson very well but this? This I liked. between the framing device, the surreal aesthetic and the fact that the movie sticks to itself so much... It's just real good. one of the standout movies i've seen this year.

What a fun movie. poppy and anti-authoritarian and touching and it's got a queer romance.

Genuinely baffled this exists (in a good way), genuinely loved it.

It's a bit un-surprising at times but it makes up with havign good heart and some moments that made me cry.

John Wick Chapter 4

A good action flick doing the stuff that made the first few movies stand out but unfortunately isn't that impressive anymore. Still, love this Greek myth ass world lots.

Dungeons & Dragons - Honor Among Thieves

Wow, i didn't expect to enjoy this THAT much but this is a really good movie! good action, comedy beats that hit right, good dramatic moments... genuine surprise.

Air - Courting a Legend

In the 80s, one man was sleazy enough to harrass a famous basketball player's family to get him to sign on a big contract for shoe advertising.

I actually liked this quite a bit. Good performances all around and in the end, the Jordans win.

Renfield

Is Dracula in the public domain or does Universal have all the rights to dracula?

Very fun movie, tons of dumb gory shit, great performances and an actually interesting message about people having worth.

They made a president Dracula joke. 8/10


Farador

TWO DnD movies in a season? Whuh? This one is a lot more about interpersonal player dynamics than the game, though. Very fun movie with some very uncomfortable moments from the antagonist. Also Catherine Brunet is an actress i always love.

Evil Dead Rise

Well, this is a neat movie. A horror movie that lets young people get hurt and die horribly. yeah, i liked it and there's not much i have to say without spoilers. just a fun horror movie. it doesn't do the horrible thing also.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.

The Rocket Raccoon movie we've all be yearning for. I cried at a bunch of moments, had a lot of fun during the cool fights and the movie does allow the characters to move forward without doing so in a trite, predictable way.

8/10


Blackberry

Yeah, i know, roughly 2% of the movie actually happened. Still, as a movie, it's pretty fun. I liked the faux documentary shakycam shots zooming in on characters as they come in. Also SungWon Cho was good (it's a small part but a good one)

7/10


Fast X

Between jason Momoa's wild acting and the reunion of so many characters i did not remember at all... Yeah, it's a fun ride even if all of it slips off my brain.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

cute adventure. some of the musical bits felt a bit off and the movie snubbed the composers of the DK rap very intentionally so i'm docking it points.

I hope we don't get a cinematic universe.

Spider-Man: Accross the Spider-verse

Genuinely amazing. loved the aesthetics of it, the diversity of the cast and the plot is pretty interesting. Only thing bad i can say is that the big chase scene had a bit too much going on and was tiring to look at.

Really, though, pretty amazing movie, Can't wait for the sequel.
