I could never get into any of those Chevy Chase movies.

They should do a Christmas Vacation, with Godzilla and Monster Island.

Looks beautiful and has stellar set design/cinematography
Boring as shit with zero memorable characters at all

Characters weren't the point. Tension and dread were. The kickass sound design and music made that possible.

started out like an interesting movie, something like 'Limitless' that would lead to brain damage or mental/psychological breakdown... which it sort of did, but they went about it in a way that basically turned the movie into a bullshit 'Final Destination-esque' ghost movie... and i abhor ghost movies.

ham-fisted trash. How as a movie do you manage to be overly long and underdeveloped? This probably could have worked better as a series, but instead we got very little world exploration and a racial allegory with all the subtlety of a nuclear explosion.
Home:'Band Aid'
Some of the dialogue felt like inorganic, like Aaron Sorkin wrote it, but it was still a good movie.
Might binge Harry Potter A to Z, seeing they're on hbo.
Was kind of old to really get into the series, but for whatever reason some friends wanted to see them (No, not fantasy nerds at all, or any sort of nerd), so figured why not...?

Marshall (2017) 8/10.
No real surprises here. It's a good bio film done by the numbers but in this case that's not a negative. No real surprises or twists but this film was never intended to be a mystery/drama/thriller. It was intended to pay homage to one of the most influential and iconic men who ever lived and it succeeds admirably in that purpose.
In a story as old as time what really stands out are the characters and the actors who portray them and the director who guides them. All do a fantastic job and while the story inevitably seemed somewhat predictable, I was never bored. Instead I was fascinated by the man himself, Thurgood Marshall, and the drive and purpose he displayed.
I can pay no greater respect to him than to say that if ever there was a man who reminded me of Nelson Mandela it was Thurgood Marshall.
