Lilo & Stitch (2025)

I thought that the human Pleakley was Jonathan Groff. After comparing butts I was less assured. Magnusson was great. My coordinates kept getting fucked up. The film succeeds with humanity, culture and respect. Animation and live art expand its universe. Is it Nani or Noni? My game says Noni whilst the new say Nani which sounds like nanny no matter how you slice it. 13-Sep-2025
Thunderbolts (2025)

The big bad was neither big or bad, it was dangerous. The film is under the illusion that if we can get to the heart of evil before it erupts that it won't. Maybe the reason we dissect villains is because evil has no explanation. Pugh drives the movie and gets us feeling things. The actors realized that they needed to be a team in order to become one and they were. I even liked the shitty Captain America. I watch comic book adaptations anticipating magic is realized as legendary characters are brought to life. Limited powers means limited accessibility. Spy action and admits ground the film in basics and hopeful logic. The funny failed most of the time because it killed characterization. A villain is not a threat if a stint in rehab can fix them. The ending was episodic TV right before cancellation. 29-Aug-2025
Cursed, The (2021)

It excruciates its wretchedness. Kelly Reilly seemed lost especially around the eyes. Gypsies curse white people for taking their land and torturing them to bits. I grew up thinking gypsies were only Spanish but later grew to understand the concept. A curse is unleashed and a wolf man allegory with modern finesse is rebranded. The burying of teeth (obvious), frightening dreams (done to death) and scarecrow fixtures (Jeepers Creepers) did not a good mythology make. If the gypsies had such awesome power why didn't they curse them the moment they paid them to get out? The werewolves were straight out of a Hollywood closet. They went clean shaven 80's instead of hairy 70's porn star. I couldn't consider it a werewolf because it was unfamiliar and implausible. I thought Seamus had sucked McBride's dick whilst losing the way back to his room but it was a dream I had after a temporary drift off. It was well done but no fun. 25-Jul-2025
Babygirl (2024)

A dark tale told amongst frustration. I being frustrated that nothing interesting happens in between Lady Nic's breathing sessions. The characters needed more strokes and history to understand their motivations. Everything was a whisper, only the men lost it, direction had no distinct style and the banter was vacuous. Lady Nic fulfilled her duty and was fun to follow. Harris Dickinson was a good choice but there was too much psycho in his swagger. Antonio was the only actor allowed to emote pain and anger. He did it well. His outburst was what the rest of the film lacked. Energy. Cognizance was on dream mode. The reason men are toxic is because women can't orgasm without it. The resolution is simplified to fulfill the fairy tale agenda. It nulls the truth and its purpose. 07-May-2025
Dementia 13 (1963)

The movie was a premonition. Coppola's ideals were established. Future Dracula and Godfather strokes manifested. The madness came from Corman? Heiress is dying and the family wants to win her favor in order to be named in her will. No one is more worried than the in-laws. An Axe Man is on a killing spree. An inspiration of masked serial killers to come. The most intriguing protagonist was cut short. Her hair was groovy. There were too many things going on that kept me unscrewed but I hung on to learn. 23-Apr-2025
Anora (2024)

Well acted characters that didn't initiate much sympathy. The hooker is content in her work, minds her own business, learned nothing about men or how things work. The heroine's gullibility was exasperating. Every time a character was introduced to another was mostly awkward. The only character that conveyed inner thoughts was Igor. Once elements of The Hangover commenced the ridiculousness didn't stop. Silly hijinks and mobster blunders. Dreams dashed by love and parents. Spoiled brats and power images. Anything will do when the choices are none. Certain things don't need to have a point to hit a nerve but this one was spin cycling. I couldn't catch a word. 18-Mar-2025
Longlegs (2024)

The atmosphere is chilling, the sounds creep and the actors are crude. FBI agent encounters said serial killer as a child but forgets. She has to find him before he kills again because she's an X-Men now. The agent is slightly psychic and heavily catatonic throughout except when she jolts awake to kick some butt. Sir Nicolas was doing his thing a la Toymaker. He was psychotic, abandoning and ridiculous. I didn't know if I wanted more of him or not. The film meanders depressively. The commonality between the agent and the serial killer is benign and hooey. Mumbo jumbo glues all the pieces together because most of it doesn't make sense. 15-Feb-2025
Blink Twice (2024)

The wait for resolution is interminable. Channing Tatum didn't menace enough. Naomi Ackie seemed too woke to fall for a Peter Pan man. It would have been fresh if the girls had just said "no" to the leery invitation to a private island with no transportation back. Peter would have to arrange a deceitful method to get them there. That's menacing. A beautiful palette and luscious atmosphere held the key to my interest but when the climax happens its a compilation of memes that spoke volumes and represented very little. It's a harsh topic that needed to play out so the audience can understand the reasons people do anything. 29-Jan-2025
World Without End (1956)

Astronauts propelled into an apocalyptic earth have to encourage a frightened future society that sun and violence is necessary for survival. Rod Taylor wastes no time getting undressed and that was a good thing but somebody chopped up his story. Future women were equipped with beauty and a desire to experience a man at his most sweaty. Cavemen were created from an atomic blast that made them violent and gave them the capacity to rule the environment. It's a film with good ideas that are jumbled. Future woman was the only realistic effect. They were gorgeous in skimpy space suits. The film couldn't expand on why the cure for everything is to fight. 16-Jan-2025
A Quiet Place: Day One: (2024)

A movie where silence is golden only resonates with "good face" actors. Lupita is characterized as an unpleasant doom manipulator. The cat that doesn't meow really pissed me off. By making the cat mute they missed out on fresh ideas and unforgettable scenes. Hounsou was relegated to extra. The action repeats but it doesn't refresh. More monster exposition would have added coherence and sustainability. What is their backstory? What happened to the crying babies? Deaf people who can talk? The rules of the game were acknowledged rather swiftly and the setups were obvious and corny. Pizza, really? 08-Jan-2025
Afraid (2024)

The A.I. was too sparkly and bubbly. Action was stagnant. I had to look up the actors names to remember who was in it, even though I just watched it. The tension it built should have burst the story into the air but it got stenched with TV type trite that makes a farting sound. 30-Nov-2024
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

I've outgrown this franchise. Only a kid's imagination can enjoy it because the ideas no longer allow adults to unwind. There isn't much to distinguish the brother from the sister. They are still rocking Ripley curls, their gender is unidentifiable and the girl has all the brains. Carrie Coon comes off as a side of beef instead of a serious actress. Paul Rudd was floating in the multiverse. Either nobody wanted to be in the same frame as Bill Murray or he really wasn't there. He was missing in many key shots. Patton Oswalt didn't sound like a mythical bird and cannot replace Rick Moranis. Ernie, Annie and Dan are safe. Movie ghost technology hasn't evolved since Casper and reviving a demon doesn't satisfy the theme. It had no whimsy, imagination or heart. 24-Jul-2024
Die! Die! My Darling! (1965)

Soon to be married, a people pleaser decides to accept an invite from a mother-in-law that never was. Her ex-fiancee died and she moved on but his mother is still devastated. Mother thinks his ex-fiancee was the cause of his death. Ex-fiancee is in danger and they are making her diet! Tallulah embraced her part like Davis did in Baby Jane and blow-horned it to death. Stefanie Powers was spot-on and rocked great hair. The film is vindictive and cruel. I would have left the moment that maid answered the door. It's a sorta fun drip. 06-Jun-2024
Maestro (2023)

Bradley Cooper is an uncanny Leonard Bernstein. The nose is art even though it makes Bradley nasal. Carey Mulligan is taught and achieving. She is the wife that halts her personal goals to stroke his. The genius is obsessed with calculating music and all boys pretty. The wife accepts and waits. Cooper positions the camera at different angles to add distraction to incomplete scenes. The film intellectualizes its subject and limits its margin. Dialogue is careful not to apply too many emotions to our lead for fear that they may not be true. It also, makes his actions appear nippy. Lovers come in and out of their lives without much exposition except beauty and sex. Mulligan is the film's disposition, Cooper is its center, the cast puts on an haughty appearance, everything is lush but the man remains an enigma. 22-Dec-2023
Scream (2022)

I was surprised by the comedy horror tag. I saw nothing funny except for all the situations that put Ortega in harm's way. She was one of the bright things.The ghost costume needs an upgrade. The voice actor for Ghostface sounded like a harmless prototype. It's nice to remember the past but it didn't adhere to logic. The newbies were social media born and nothing more. I applaud Neve for bringing her original face and showing us she can act. She looked great. Cruel deaths are only delegated to males. The director did well with horror but the wink, wink trivia isn't cool anymore. That joke only works once then it becomes annoying. 13-Nov-2023
