  • Aftersun

    Aftersun

    ★★★★★

    A poignant and masterfully painted portrait of a woman looking for her father in fragmented memories. The ending will weigh on my heart for a long time.

  • Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

    ★★

    Taking one star off because this movie is not worth me getting my ass beat this weekend as a server at a movie theater.

    Ryan Coogler did his best with the honest mess making this movie turned out to be.

  • Black Adam

    Black Adam

    ★★

    Not even the Rock can save bad pacing and a movie that was about 30 minutes too long.

  • The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

    The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

    ★★

    Pacing was real funky and the dialogue left something to be desired.

  • Don't Worry Darling

    Don't Worry Darling

    ★★★

    The Charles Rating: 5/5

  • Uncharted

    Uncharted

    ★★

    My dad loved this movie so an extra star for that.

  • Jurassic World Dominion

    Jurassic World Dominion

    ★★

    You can tell that everyone involved in making this movie was thinking, "we just need to end this, and we'll be free.

  • Fifty Shades of Grey

    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Watching this is hard when you're a person who watches twilight on a yearly basis and can really see how this was a fan fic first.

  • Along for the Ride

    Along for the Ride

    ★★

    I wanted my life to be like a Sarah Dessen novel so bad. I wanted to inject every single one of her books into my veins. This movie captured exactly what I remember feeling when reading them.

  • X

    ★★★

    the Landslide interlude took me out fr
