Easily one of my favorite Disney films, and not just because I watched it with my girlfriend who I love so very much. It’s an astounding film praising the values of complicated and seemingly negative feelings. An examination of why Sadness matters and how it ties to empathy. The way it demonstrates the complex feelings of a child going through a difficult time growing up is just inspired. 10/10.
John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch
Kind of all over the place, but still very charming.
Zootopia, Wreck It Ralph, and Big Hero 6 rewatches
Skeff hadn’t seen ‘em. Glad we did. Big Hero 6 is kind of mediocre, Wreck It Ralph is still great. Best part of Zootopia was Skeff going “is this a race metaphor???” in utter confusion. It’ such an unclear metaphor still too. It’s not clear who the minority is for much of the film and a character literally starts a race war. Weird stuff!
Parasite
Was really worried overhype would kill it for me but I absolutely adored it. Knowing spoilers going in didn't kill how well-crafted and layered the plot unfolded. Spectacular.
Kung Fu Panda 2
Skeff and Justyne were horrified I hadn’t seen it. But it’s a blast of a movie! Real themes, great villain, just a stunning film. Big props to the people who worked on it.
Birds of Prey
A weird movie, but I still enjoyed it. Harley Quinn’s break-up, Huntress, Black Canary? A+. Great villain too. Cassandra Cain... bugged me. Wish she was named something else. Whatever. Fun flick! Love this girl energy!
Batman vs TMNT
Batman said Cowabunga. 10/10
Batman Ninja
Gorgeous. Weird. Maybe should’ve been an AU rather than time travel, but it’s fun.
Really expected to find this dull and I still don't find space battles interesting but. Gundam. Its about some SHIT. And Amuro is so compelling as this guy forced into a horrible situation and doing his best. I think what space battles need are a really emotional current to it and this movie nails it 100 percent.
I didn't expect to find Char so charming too but the slow reveal of what an absolute piece of shit he is? Incredible. He's just in it for his revenge and everything else is an obstacle to that revenge. Absolute dickweed.
Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow
Liked it a little less than 1 but a lot of side characters get great and necessary development. The drama of space continues to unravel. The war pushes towards its inevitable despair.
Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
As someone who generally hates Tarantino, he did a good job avoiding his own bullshit enough for my mom to enjoy a movie he made. He still sucks tho.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Very charming kids adventure movie. Turtles need to take things... a little more seriously? No reaction to their dad’s kidnapping and they feel interchangeable at times. But still fun.
Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky
Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower
The Matrix
Gender is a myth.
Jupiter Ascending
Venom
Scoob
Really wanted to hate it but I shamelessly adored it. Shameless cash grab trying to be hashtag Relatable? Yes. Lovingly crafted ode to the original show and its history? Absolutely.

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2
utter unfunny trash cobbled together in this monstrous form. its a frankenstein monster of plotlines and characters that don't make sense. i know these movies only exist for kevin james to hang out with his buds but oh my god this is foul. Till Death Us Blart cannot prepare you for how the way mouths move, the way the editing cobbles together, the way the cracks and folds of the blart universe do everything it can to defend blart from the disgust he deserves. blart thinks he deserves a keynote speech? he gets a keynote speech. blart thinks his daughter shouldn't go to ucla? she decides not to go to ucla until he allows it. blart wants a last minute romance in the final minutes? he gets that romance. the world operates on blart's rules, not matter how hard they try to resist. blart chooses, and the world obeys.
