  Hook 1991

  ★★★ Rewatched 23 Nov 2023

  Didn’t realize I had seen this - I’d forgotten the entire movie. Kind of fell flat this time around.

  As long as Netflix’s One Piece Lucky Roux does that same move as the large Lost Boy, I can die a happy man.

  Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Nov 2023

  Funniest title of all time.

  Loads of fun, but once again I need justice for Lisa Miller and the rest of Volume 4.

  Not unlike Santa or Jesus, this movie gave and continued to give. What a blessed film.

  Monkey Shines 1988

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Sep 2018 1

  HOOPTOBER 5.0 CHALLENGE 7 of 31

  Monkey Shines is basically Rear Window with B sci-fi and horror elements mixed in. It starts as a slow drama about a quadriplegic learning to live with his injury, helicopter mother and bitch of an ex-wife, and ends as a thriller where everything has gone terribly wrong.

  It's not to be taken seriously. A good portion of it is campy or unintentionally funny.

  The monkey is incredibly cute, even if it is a psychopath.
