Thoughts on Renfield

 Renfield is a dark comedy about Dracula’s familiar. It has fun performances by Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage. The story has some weak spots but in terms of the tone of the movie it all works to make the movie fun. It won’t win awards but it was entertaining, at the very least. Check it out if you like horror and dark comedy.

Thoughts on Inside Out 2

 Inside Out 2 is a sequel to the Pixar film, Inside Out. The story is a good follow up to the first film. The characters show growth and the story is compelling. The addition of new emotions really help create a relevant and poignant story of a growing girl who is coming to terms with puberty. Check it out if you liked the first film.

Thoughts on Cook Off!

 Cook Off! is the 2017 mockumentary. If a Christopher Guest movie and Reno 911 had a baby it would look like this. It has some funny moments and clever characters. It’s worth checking out. It doesn’t have a big budget, but it’s got aome good comedic charm.

Thoughts on Furiosa

 Furiosa is the prequel to the movie, Mad Max: Fury Road. Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth do a great job making these characters fully dimensional. As a story it is very good and the stunts are a lot of fun. It is not as great as Fury Road but it still feels like a solid story from that world.

Thoughts on Five Nights at Freddys

 Five Nights at Freddy’s is a movie based on a popular video game. The movie has significant talent involved with a decent cast. There are clever shots and Matthew Lillard seem to be taking it seriously. It isn’t fantastic by my tastes, but kids that love the game will dig the movie. 

Thoughts on Dune part 2

 Dune part 2 covers the second half of the Dune novel. It is visually appealing and the additional characters are introduced. It feels unfinished at times. I can’t tell if they are waiting to do Dune Messiah. It is a very good movie that requires part 1 to understand. I think I appreciated the character building more in the first movie. However, it is still good movie and a must see for fans of the book.

Thoughts on X

 X is a horror film that takes place in 1979. The characters are well acted and the cinematography is very good. I wish I liked it more. It largely made me uncomfortable, which is in no way the sign of a bad movie, but it did make it difficult for me to get enjoy it as a whole. It wasn’t for me, but it is very good otherwise.
