It's a decent little sci-fi flick, don't expect too much and you'll enjoy yourself.

The Croods (2013)
I confess I slept during some of it with my daughter watching it. But I've seen it before and it is legitimately funny. Nic Cage is perfect voice casting. Also it's cute because my daughter used to pronounce it "Proods." haha..

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)
A highly engrossing film. Half English, half French with subs. Basically takes you through the incident and all the way through the trial. Excellent film, but very heavy. Damn. Something tells me it won't get any Oscar recognition, but it deserves it.
The Void 10/10
Wrath of Khan 7/10
31 3/10
Rewatching Requiem for a dream, mostly just revisiting stuff I’ve seen

It's good. It's not perfect. It's perhaps trying to juggle too many things and doesn't exactly wrap them all up satisfyingly, but I still liked it. It hit a few big anti-God statements that I was hoping for with a great Anthony Hopkins delivery, so I was pretty damn well satisfied. 8/10
Jennifer Lawrence looks amazing in this. I felt like this was one of her last movies as a young looking actress. Amazing acting by both actors, very bitter sweet coming of age film.
Basically if you didn't like Kingsman you're not going to like this.
I went in not knowing who else other than Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard were in it so it's good fun seeing the other big names popping up as the movie goes on.
The first 45 minutes or so are great fun then it loses its way and drags on a bit too long then the ridiculous number of plot twists kick in before a couple of outrageously dumb action sequences before the end. The first if which is cringey and the second of which is pretty awesome.
It's getting slaughtered in reviews but I enjoyed it for the most part. It's just at least a half hour too long.
I'll say one thing. It's the first movie where I didn't detest Bryce Dallas Howard.
Oh...and Dua Lipa is just insanely sexy.
That is all...

^^^I'm planning on watching this so, nice to see a solid review here.
I’ve never found Bryce Dallas Howard annoying and always thought she was cute af. The fact that she’s the love child of Opie Taylor and Richie Cunningham just adds to the ginger attractiveness.
