“I’m Joan Carbunkle, NBC Standards.”
“Oh, I didn’t know they had any.”

Has some good moments and the cast is fun but I couldn’t fully buy in.

“He is infinity.”

On behalf of all the sickos out there I’d like to thank Robert Eggers for giving us another stunning masterpiece!!!

“Tell me there isn’t something horrible in that bag?”
“No.”

At its best when Jason Bateman is on screen instead of a voice on the phone. Nothing earth shattering but it was never a dull time.

“You can choose, Hèra. You can choose how this ends.”

RIP Wulf you would’ve loved The Story So Far. 

My brain is so rotted from years of Fire Emblem games that I couldn’t help but think “man, this looks like a Fire Emblem game at times!” Had fun with it, though. Not on the same level as the original trilogy, not really close, but still a good time.

“You’ve got mail!”

Not all of it works but I am not immune to the nostalgia so I can overlook that for all the childhood memories and references. Makes me happy that Fred Durst is willing to do stuff like this. I lost my mind when he showed up lmao.

“The gates of hell are open night and day; smooth the descent, and easy is the way: but to return, and view the cheerful skies, in this the task and mighty labour lies.”

I don’t think it’s better than Gladiator but in of sequels years later it’s a great time. Some cool bloody bits, a naval Colosseum battle, hot people being hot, and some decapitations! That all works for me.

“Our grandma is from here so Dave arranged for us to this geriatric Polish tour with you fine people.”

Really well done from all angles. Kieran Culkin Is the standout with an extremely real performance but Jesse Eisenberg isn’t far behind. They compliment each other well and you really feel the pain, anger, and love between the two characters.

“Do I look stupid?”
“No.”
“My sister and I were identical, so that must mean she didn't look stupid.”

Oddity had a good chunk of elements I normally dig in a movie (creepy house, creepy creature designs, generally a good and eerie atmosphere) but I wish the plot and performances clicked more. Not to say they are bad by any means, just wasn’t working for me.

“I think we’re being studied.”

Some real tense set pieces plus a great performance from Hugh Grant made up for the shit crowd around me.

“Guess I gotta go kill Barlow.”

I appreciate when an adaption takes chances and makes changes to the original story but I was 50/50 on this as a whole. The opening credits had me very excited but the first half didn’t really hook me. The atmosphere was good but everything was flat. Got much better in the second half when Mark started getting more screen time with the vampires and Ben became interesting instead of generic movie author.

“PLEASE! STOP! SCREAMING!”

Loved everything about this. Chaotic, funny, heartbreaking, and every emotion above, below, and in between. Mikey Madison with a star making performance. The ending was a kick to the gut but I think it was the right way to end that rollercoaster ride.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the lady of the hour, Sheryl!”
“Shit.”

Pretty good directorial debut from Anna Kendrick. That parking lot scene was tense as fuck, and Daniel Zovatto was perfectly terrifying. It didn’t feel disrespectful or exploitative to the real life victims which you can’t say for every movie based off a true crime story.
