Thoughts on Mune: Guardian of the Moon

Mune: Guardian of the Moon is a fun movie. A bit of Avatar mixed with some Dark Crystal makes for a cool concept. The fictional world is a bit confusing as is the story. Still, it is a sweet tale  with some amazing animation. It’s got great characters and is a fantastic  journey that anyone will  appreciate. Check it out if you want a surprise hidden gem.

Thoughts on Happy Death Day 2 U

Happy Death Day 2 U is a fine follow up to the original. It is not better than the original in anyway, but it is also far from bad. Any fan of the first will enjoy this movie too. Jessica Rothe is fantastic and I look forward to more from her. It is an entertaining movie that takes a detour from horror a bit and gives sci-fi more reign. It does require a person to see the first movie to really fully enjoy this film. Check it out if you liked the first movie.

Thoughts on Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody is fine. The acting is nothing special. The story itself is boilerplate biopic formula. It bugged the crap out of me when the Michael Meyers character made fun of the song Bohemian Rhapsody with an wink to the audience because he used the song to create a classic comedy moment in Wayne’s World. The characters are played well but are poorly developed. It’s an okay movie, nothing more, nothing less.

Thoughts on The Lego Movie 2: the Second Part

The Lego Movie 2: the Second Part is damn good. It is a simple and sweet story that does its job well.     The animation is fun and the character arcs are entertaining. I particularly enjoyed Chris Pratt’s Kurt Russell impression. If there is one thing I’d change it is that I am not a fan of the Batman portrayal voiced by Will Arnett. I just personally don’t like Batman to be a buffoon. It is a great follow-up to the first film. Anyone who enjoyed the first will certainly enjoy this movie as well.

Thoughts on Hotel Transylvania 3

Hotel Transylvania 3 is a cute movie. It doesn’t have a complicated plot or a ton of character development besides the most basic level. Still, the cartoonish slapstick is funny and the animation style has grown on me. It is colorful and fun to watch. It’s a enjoyable movie that the kids will enjoy.

Thoughts on Suspiria (2018)

Suspiria (2018) is a mixed bag. On one hand the visuals are amazing. The acting is fine. Tilda Swinton carries the bulk of the film. The story drags on occasion and is overly gory to the point of being ridiculous. The movie pales compared to the original and it relies heavily on filler that drags the running length too long. I’d say forget it unless you are bored.
