Spider-man: Across the Spiderverse- 8/10
Lacks the charm and fun of the first installment and the characters arent as strong but the interpersonal conflicts are really satisfying and everything ties together well. Action is pretty gold and the animation is as good as ever. It falls short of the 1st film but its not bad at all. Will absolutely watch pt3 |

Intolerable Cruelty (2003) - 9/10
Among the Coen's funniest works. The script is as sharp and witty as anything theyve ever written and moves at the fast pace O' Brother Where Art Thou. The cast, led by George Clooney, is really excellent. Even Catherine Zeta-Jones holds her own though admittedly she is the weakest part of the film. The climax to Wheezy Joe's arc is one of the funniest gags ive ever seen. Billy-bob Thortons bit is also excellent. Joel is a very competent director here too. He puts together dozen or more ways to shoot the same rooms that keep it visually interesting while the cast delivers this top shelf dialog. At is core its a romcom but it also isnt. It stands next to them in almost in a meta commentary mocking the genre. Here the Coens strike a norm macdonald-esqu snicker that only he could do where we and him are somehow cohorts in the joke he's crafting. Its sarcastic and ironic and insincere and somehow in the face of all that its charming. The only real critique i have is due to its comedic insincerity its climax is by nature insincere. Perhaps there was better way to resolve the picture but atleast as it resolves it manages to still be cute, funny and little bit witty. |

“Oldboy” is the film that exposed me to South Korean cinema, it opened the door for so many brilliantly fucked up films and yet it is still the best of the bunch. The Spike Lee remake is trash but Elizabeth Olsen gets her jugs out so it’s not all bad.

I saw Barbie and thought it was sweet and heartfelt. I’m obviously not the target audience which might be why I felt Ryan Gosling stole the show.

Margot Robbie doesn’t get her tits out for a change, no thanks. Margot Robbie has really nice tits, I’m not wasting time like that.

She’s one of the ones where you go “Oh wow those are great tits” but not if she keeps them in. Helen Mirren knows.

Triangle of Sadness (2022) - 8/10
This is a film that really couldve taken the easy way out and still had the clapping seals rolling in the isle but instead takes the hardest route it can and tears everyone down along the way. Its really impossible to talk about the film without REALLY talking about the film. SPOILER: show |

Is that the French film with Woody Harrelson in it?
I remember repeatedly looking at the poster for it and wondering if that was something I could justify spending three hours watching… I’ll have to watch it now because I don’t want to click that spoiler. |

A Haunting in Venice - 8/10
I like this movie series. Perhaps liked this one more than the others because I have not actually read the book it is based on and so the "reveal" was actually a reveal. Was "worried" that this movie was gonna be "scary"... but was not scary at all |

I'm watching a movie called Bottoms. It's similar to Superbad but the leads are lesbians.

I'd argue Michael Cera, McLovin, and Jonah Hill look like a bog-standard lesbian thruple.
