Spider-Man: No Way Home - 0 stars out of 4.
All these God damn villains, all this diving into the different universes, 9 fucking movies, and we still can't get a hot chick in a God damn Black Cat costume? Fuck this movie. Fuck this franchise. Fuck Marvel. |

OK, but seriously...
Spider-Man: No Way Home - 3 and 1/4 stars out of 4. I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm giving it high marks but I didn't necessarily enjoy it personally. Much like I didn't like Into the Spider-Verse, this one didn't really grab me because I don't like these kinds of stories that deal with multiple realities and what not. There are too many scenes that harp on this subject and try to be cute about it like, "Hey, you guys get it? You get what we're doing? We're doing the thing! You sure you get that we're doing the thing? Because that's what we're doing! We're doing the thing!" When it's not doing that and is focusing on the problems, issues, and feelings of just Peter, the film was much more my bag. Everything that he wants to accomplish and everything that could possibly happen to him as a result of the previous movie is understandable and the logical next step. If the movie was more of that I probably would have liked it more. That said, don't let my negative nitpicking bother you. I can practically guarantee every Spidey fanboy and fangirl is going to have a blast. They'll revel in the jokes and winks to the audience and absolutely get sucked into the drama. Not necessarily my cup of tea but by all means, drink up and enjoy. |

It was a fucking good time. Avoid reading spoilers and just go along for the ride.

I like M-A-G’s idea there, he could have just created a new style of angry review.

Spider-Man: No Way Home - 7/10
Was entertained by it and now will probably never watch it again, like most Marvel outings these days. Didn't live up to the "potential", but feel like that would have been "near impossible".... but could have at least "come closer". Far From Home was a lot better movie. |

Hereditary-8/10
Good lord this movie was creepy. Not what I was expecting and as things unraveled and got weird I found myself more and more engrossed in what was unfolding. The ending was bleak but appreciated. Lost Girls-7/10 The actress who played Holly on the office plays a mom who’s estranged daughter she handed over to the state has gone missing after working as a hooker in a job gone wrong. It is a sad, bleak film with a strong central performance based in a real life sad story. Nothing like the Holidays-6/10 Typical Christmas family fodder a movie with a Latino spin on it. The story is cheesy and smarmy and predictable, but the performances, namely Alfred Molina, is what carries it and makes it worth the time as a holiday filler movie Last edited by Damian Rey 2.0; 12-20-2021 at 11:25 PM. |

Watched 'Parasite' recently, and although I haven't actually seen any of the films it beat out for best picture I think it's probably deserved. I've loved all of Bong Joon-Ho's prior films for their uniqueness and absurdism and this was no exception. The best I've heard it described is as a more perfect version of Snowpiercer. Highly recommended.

“Parasite” is on my list of “Wait for the hype to die” films.
Some of them have been on there for years, “Holy Motors” has been on it for nearly three I think. There’s a mood I need to be in for big films. I don’t like to undermine the experience. |

Cosmos - 6.5/10
In reality my score is probably a little high but I like this kind of movie. Very low budget sci-fi flick about some guys parked in their station wagon in the middle of the British woods. They set up some telescopes and gear to monitor a satellite and some other things but get side tracked when they pick up the mystery signal. I've watched a lot of these kind of movies. Most all of them suck in the grand scheme of things. But this is one of my favorites I think. Just felt good the whole way through. Really liked the cast. Either way, I had a good time watching it and wouldnt be against seeing it again I think. |

Midsommar-7/10
I’m not sure what the fuck I just watched, not it’s certainly about mental health at the least, some weird Swedish commune and a bunch of weird shit with a weird ending. Not sure not I feel about it but I was definitely glued to the screen watching. |

It was certainly captivating. Guess I wanted more violence. But consider me creeped out. It’s a trip to watch it high. Florence Pugh was stellar. My ex wife suffered from severe depression and anxiety and she was giving me those same vibes.

The Matrix Resurrections is possibly the worst sequel ever.
It’s worse than Jaws 4: The Revenge. Really weird feel to it... lots of backwards steps in trying to re-ignite some enthusiasm for the classic gimmicks of the original. No thanks. We don’t want some weird inner-universe retcon shite. We have Marvel for that. It’s trying to be meta even though it naturally is already, so you end up with a weird imitation of a weird imitation of a once great idea. None of it works at all. It’s just a mess. Kind of like the director’s vagina. 0.5/4 |

Was worried Matrix would be just that, even from previews it almost looked like a big re-hash of what was already done.
Kingsman looks great, LJ. Big Rasputin lookin mofo. |

The Matrix is a groundbreaking science fiction film about the nature of our reality.
The Matrix Resurrections is a film that papers over the broken ground so it can pretend to break it once more. |

Matrix: Rez. I enjoyed it...fuck the nerds. I thought it brought the movies, video games, and comics together quite nice. I would like to get real reasons for people hating it and I hated the 2nd and especially the 3rd.
Death to 2021 - funny shit. another good mockumentary looking back at a bunch of people dying and stuff Mixtape (Netflix) I just finished this and felt it was like Jason Reitman and Judd Apatow had a baby. No review needed beyond that.. |

"Don't Look Up"
Some of it's spot on but some of it misses. Morning show ppl and tech billionaire guy were good, Don Jr Jonah Hill guy was funny but i dnt think there are actually a lot of ppl like that on "the hill." They make it seem like putting profits over ppl is a strictly republican thing and dont rlly address the problem of neoliberalism being widespread and bi-partisan. the people giving it bad reviews though seem really really stupid about how it's not "subtle" enough which is stupid... |

Anonymous 3/10
I started looking at other things at the hour mark, and then turned it off completely at the 90-minute mark. There was still around 40 mins to go, but I couldn't be arsed watching it to the end. |

Heat- 10/10
“Cause she has a GREAT ASS!” I give the slight edge to Pacino over DeNiro. One of if not the best movie of the 90’s. It’s nearly 3 hours long and I would re-watch it right now. |

Ghostbusters: Afterlife-7/10
I liked it for the most part. I thought McKenna Grace was really great. I just wish the originals had a bigger/more integral part to the story. They just randomly show up at the last minute. But still she doesn’t feel outta place with the previous two. |

Didn't feel like a "complete" and "thought out" movie... no real character arc or journey, just feels like setting up for the next one. |
