Thoughts on Gnome Alone

Gnome Alone is fine for a quick family movie. It feels like a mix of a lot of other movies. A little Gremlins, Coraline, and Inside Out elements make their way into this movie. It isn’t all that clever or edited particularly well. Still, it is better than other crap that is shown as family entertainment. It isn’t high art and it certainly won’t win any awards, but it will entertain the young kids for an hour or so.

Thoughts on The Kitchen

The Kitchen is a good movie. The actors do a great job and the story is interesting. The pacing was a bit rushed. Also, most movies that take place in the 70s have heavy smoking, yet this did not. It was strange. The movie itself was at least entertaining and well-done. The twist at the end was a bit underwhelming. I recommend it for fans of mob movies or themes of female empowerment.

Step Brothers

Step Brother is a movie that isn’t for me. I cannot get behind a movie where the protagonists are two idiot man-children. There are some funny lines but it doesn’t make it a good movie. It is mean spirited and stupid. I am not sure who keeps asking for this type of movie but the older the leads get the more pathetic it appears.

Thoughts on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a good movie that is very difficult to define. The characters are great and the actors work wonderfully to bring the era to life. Margot Robbie is amazing and cute. The ending is difficult to explain without spoilers. Still, it is a good movie that uses a past horrific crime to add a twist ending that really is fun. I am not sure I’d feel the same if I didn’t know about the Manson murders.
