  • It Chapter Two

    It Chapter Two

    ★★★

    Flashbacks were strange - bad ADR and weird CGI on the kids (I guess to make them look younger?)
    I don't think Chastain was a good choice for Bev, she plays it too dead.
    Most of the cast was very good, although McAvoy was more McAvoy than Bill.
    Many scenes veered too hard on silly than horror IMO.
    Otherwise it was good.

  • Unbreakable

    Unbreakable

    ★★★★★

    Uneasy, dark, and decisively tempered. It's groundedness makes it feel relatable and realistic. However it slowly builds into a horrifying yet satisfying crescendo.

    I feel like the lack of clarity from the use of analogue film is important to making the movie feel as wonderfully sinister as it does.

  • The Mummy

    The Mummy

    ★★★

    Way better than expected. Really not THAT bad. Shame about the dark universe.

  • Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

    ★★½

    Starts off slow and dull. Almost stopped watching. Gets better as the film goes on.

  • Ghost in the Shell

    Ghost in the Shell

    ★★★½

    Much better than people would have you believe. Is it as good as the original film? No, not by a long shot.

  • Lucy

    Lucy

    ★★½

    A fun, silly film

  • Wonder Woman

    Wonder Woman

    ★★★½

    Wonder woman theme carries the film. Villain is garbage.

  • Aquaman

    Aquaman

    ★★★

    Cheesy, but that's for the best.

  • The Silence

    The Silence

    ★½

    Bad pacing, unoriginal concept

  • Apostle

    Apostle

    ★★

    Has some good scenes/shots but overall falls short. I don't think Dan Stevens pulled his weight either.

  • Triple Frontier

    Triple Frontier

    ★★★

    Stressful

  • Spectral

    Spectral

    ★★

    Fun action flick ruined by terrible ADR.
