Has some character shifts towards the third act which I didn’t love, but overall this really clicked with me. Fantastic sound design and zombie antagonists help propel this one to being instantly iconic, and I really enjoyed how genuinely horrific this felt when it needed too. The line “I promised them women” sent chills down my spine; that’s true horror. Loved the cinematography and overall look of this a lot, it feels very grimy and low-budget but it adds so much flair; I appreciated how voyeuristic this felt in moments. Excited for 28 Years Later, the clip they showed look good!

Harrison Ford said it best: 

“It’s not magic. It’s commerce.”

Got to see this in Dolby for the 20th anniversary, and this has to be up there for one of my favorite theater experiences ever. The entire theater was laughing at nearly every bit (as was I), it’s actually so impressive how much better this gets with every watch. One of my all time favorite comedies, never fails to make my day better.

Kinda conflicted on this one, has some cool ideas but the execution is a bit clunky. Decent watch, Hunter Schafer is incredible.

So happy for Channing Tatum.

MaXXXine is a majorly disappointing conclusion to Ti Wests X trilogy. A very mediocre project which then leads into one of the most misguided third acts I’ve ever seen. Maxine Minx is a very shallow character, and while Mia Goth is great as always her performance is not enough to justify the lack of depth. A film which can’t find its own identity, and feels like it wants to try to be anything else. MaXXXine is a real bummer of a conclusion.

Happy 4th!

Feels pretty unnecessary and very repetitive with its narrative; at the same time however, this film is able to strike a balance between being entertaining and (at times) heartfelt. The characters presented have motivation but ultimately are pretty shallow, luckily Joseph Quinn and Lypita Nyong'o are giving really great performances and are able to excel on screen. Definitely better than what I was anticipating, but hard to say if it’s anything really special.
