Thoughts on Soul

 Soul was delightful. It is abstract and clever and treats the audience like they are smart enough for deep concepts. It is a lovely tale that takes you on a bizarre journey with images reminiscent of Dr. Suess and the Apple Computer aesthetic. Check it out if you are wanting a truly thought provoking movie experience.

Thoughts on WW84

WW84 is a dumb movie. The dialogue is pedestrian. The characters are cartoonish and the CG action makes the movie lack any depth. Nothing felt realistic or threatening. I did find Maxwell Lord compelling at first, but when the movie stopped caring, I did too. I still have no idea why it had to take place in the 80s. I don’t recommend the movie. If it wasn’t on HBO I would’ve been upset to have seen it in theaters.

Thoughts on Happiest Season

 Happiest Season is a pretty cute Christmas movie. It has real issues in the plot without being too heavy handed. The actors do a great job. The story is a bit silly, as is the conclusion but in terms of holiday movies cheese, it is one of the tamest on the market. It’s worth checking out when you are burnt on on the classics.
