Missing Link - 8.5/10
Delightful. Very slapstick. Stop-motion gets better and better every time a new film is released. |

^^^
So I ended up having the entire theater to myself to see Missing Link, but it didn't start out that way. When I arrived to the theater there was another person present, sitting a few seats down from me, same row. They ended up leaving...I think because of me... I looked around and said "I think we are the only people here" and the guy turns to me and says "Yeah, I was thinking about seeing this or Dumbo because I have a Stubs membership" and I said "yeah, I have one too" (Dumbo is AWFUL, side note). Then he said "Or Hellboy" and I said "I was going to see Hellboy, but the Rotten Tomatoes score is something like 13%". This was the moment of "the triggering" The guy turns to me and starts rambling for maybe 30 seconds - it seemed like longer - about how Rotten Tomatoes is propaganda who protected Brie Larson and Brie Larson is a terrible actress and can't act and Brie Larson has no emotions and ruins every movie she is in. Clearly, a very serious and important issue of our time. I said "I think Brie Larson is great. The movie she won an Oscar for, ROOM, she is fantastic in that" (weird grumbling sound from guy) "I can't wait for Endgame in a few weeks, she is going to kick ass in that". At this point he mumbled something that sort-of-kind-of sounded like "I can't...do this" and then he got up and left. I thought maybe he went to the restroom or concessions, but nope, he never came back, ever. It was a delight having the place to myself, so "Thank You" to Brie Larson, you helped eliminate this dude tonight -- and probably Thanos in a few more weeks. |

Hellboy (2019) - 4/10
Reminded me of the 2nd Michael Bay Ninja Turtles. There's some fun generic action, there are hints of some good themes and a good story, there's a villain who seems threatening but fizzles out.... everything just kind of fizzles out actually. |

Pet Sematary - 7/10
Not as good as the original but filmed better and a sharper production design. Tone is good overall and pacing works. Just doesn't quite have the 'x-factor' of the original imo. |

The Expendables 6.5/10
It is saved by its last 30 mins or so, which is so ridiculous, you can't help but enjoy it. |

A better put together film than the first, fuelled by testosterone turned up to 11. |

How do you think it would rate if this was the first rather than a remake?

Good question.
I would give it a 7.5/10 for excellent atmosphere and story with depth, but in need of a stronger ending. For the record, I think the original builds to it's finish better and this film has a slightly different end. |

Triple Frontier-7/10
Liked it but didn't love it. Thought the performances were really good, and Oscar Isaac is a man crush of mine. As is Affleck. And Pedro Pascal. And they were great. But the story is kinda meh. 4 military guys decide they want to rob and murder a drug lord and cash in on their skills for their own gain, which goes well and is pretty much the setup for the 2nd and 3rd acts. This is where the movie goes kinda meh. The situations they find themselves in is driven by greed and desperation but other than a few fleeting lines, it's never really focused on. Shit happens but the emotional heft is lacking when they do. Not because of the characters themselves, but maybe because I just wasn't invested in what they were doing. The ending is pretty unsatisfactory as well. Again, a lack of emphasis on their greed being the biggest reason things didn't go as planned and went south fast is what makes it that way for me. The cast is the saving grace. This is a pretty mediocre heist story that's elevated with a cast that's better than the material they're given. |

Not bad. But Bonnie & Clyde is one of the all-time great films. Can't go near it. |

Hellboy (2004) - 8/10
Was enjoyable. Was definitely a lot more coherent and "cohesive" a movie than the new one..... |

Digesting the movies a bit more.... I know people love Ron Perlman as Hellboy.... but I think maybe David Harbour did a better job in the role.... Unfortunately, Harbour was not in a good movie at all.

I haven't seen the new Hellboy, but nobody is better than Ron Perlman. No one. That chin is greater than us all.

I guess Harbour could also have had the "advantage" of being in an R-Rated movie, while Perlman had to be PG-13.... Of course, Perlman has the "advantage" of actually being in a good movie....

Disney's Penguins - 9/10
Adorable, Entertaining, Educational and Fun. I didn't know Ed Helms was narrating beforehand so that was a very nice surprise. Great cinematography. |

La Llorona - 5/10
It's not as bad as The Nun, but that's really the best compliment I can give it. It feels more like a bunch of short films in a way, instead of a cohesive film, even though it only has a handful of characters. It starts out fine but halfway thru the movie completely falls apart. |

Is Harbour's Hellboy as bad as Hellboy 2 or worse? Hellboy 2 was fucking awful. |

Avengers: Endgame - 9.99/10
I just really loved it. So emotional and so funny and so many character moments. Unexpected narrative yet everything heads to the perfect conclusion of what the MCU has been thus far. |

Prospect 6.7/10
Sci-fi western with Pedro Pascal. Not much in the way of character development, plot, or atmosphere. |

Lego Movie 2 - 3.5 out of 5
First film was a lot more enjoyable in terms of entertainment and comedy. The sequel wasn't terrible but wasn't really worth the hype generated. |

I don't know what FTFY stands for
Two very different films, kind of "unfair" to compare them |

I posted this below but I figure it might get seen more here If you want in on the preshow app beta I'll have 30 free invites in november if youre interested. You watch 15 minutes of targeted ads on your phone and get a free movie ticket. Its completely free for whoever gets invites to use and there are a limited number of people using it through this year and early next year so it should at least work through then though no guarantees. I get access to the app in july ill let everyone know how it works.
Did this since I got screwed over by Sinemia (now bankrupt and out of business) and Moviepass (still works but a shell of what it was). I figured for $60 I just need to see 4 movies to get my moneys worth out of it and I dont mind watching a few ads to see a free movie. link to the now closed kickstarter for more info |
