Thoughts on Us

Us is a strange movie that is really well-done. The acting is fantastic, the cinematography is beautiful, and the story is taut and purposeful. I was happy that there were tons of set-ups and payoffs to make the story make sense. The story goes in a strange direction but it is entertaining and it works well. I recommend it for folks looking for a fun and different horror movie.

Thoughts on Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel is a good movie for the most part. I felt that Captain Marvel is the dullest aspect of the movie. I just didn’t find her compelling. It isn’t interesting when a hero has no flaws or real threat to overcome. The villains and Nick Fury really carry the charm of this movie. It is still entertaining and worth seeing if you enjoy the MCU.

Thoughts on Top Secret!

Top Secret! is a fun movie from 1984. This film was directed by the Zucker Abrahams Zucker trio who are famous for the Naked Gun movies and Airplane. Their comedy is fun and cartoonish while at the same time played serious. The stunts are great and the performances are very funny. Check it out if you enjoyed Naked Gun antics.

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.
