Cheesy but fun.
Stronger first half than back half. Some clever writing and a tropey story make for a cute, if predictable outing.

Awesome, over the top action, a big ensemble, and some fun characters moments make for a great time.

A nicely done documentary about the importance of the Coast Redwood. Does a good job justifying why the trees are important to their ecosystem and the people (both native and otherwise) of California. I liked the information about the history of the trees and how their parks came to be. Has some good interviews with subject matter experts, but leans a little heavily into people forming emotional connections with the trees themselves (which is fine for them, but made for a less convincing argument). There's also some interesting social science around these trees and the effect of Awe, which was neat, but maybe hard to replicate.

Absurd and irreverant while having a great heart at its core. Lots of moving pieces, but the narrative comes toegther well. Light and fun, just like summer should be.

I've really got a new appreciation for it after watching the documentary. They took a classic story, mixed in some pretty heavy emotion, plenty of laughs, and a killer soundtrack to make something truly special.

A spy thriller with little action, mostly dialogue. Great cast, with a good mix of stars and lesser known folks. Tense, but engaging. Has just enough spy tech that it's interesting, but not so much that the plot really relies on it. Fun to unravel who's behind it all.

There are definitely some rough edges, but it's much more charming than I expected. How much they care about each other really got me in the end. You do need to look past some dated jokes though

Old timey and charming. A little tough to tell some of the characters apart and the stunts are pretty dated, but the cast is good and the mystery is fun. The leads have good chemistry. Whole thing was much funnier than I expected it to be, too. I can see why it started a series!

A great dive into the production of a great movie. Plenty of cast and creator interviews, plus a step back to look at the film's impact on people of a certain age. It's a fun watch!

It’s mostly a schlocky 90s action computer thriller, but it does make some precient points about how much of "truth" lives in computers and how badly that can go if they start lying. Ther eare better hacker movies and Sandra Bullock never really plays it convincingly, but it had its tense moments.

It’s basically "Wet Hot American RomCom". I loved its commitment to subtle (or not) absrudity and it’s wildly large ensemble. Tightly written too, no lines were wasted. Perfectly captures 90s NYC romcoms.

Pitt and Clooney carry this dark action comedy hard. The story is simple (and makes a little less sense the closer you squint), but it didn't stop me enjoying the ride. The cast is focused (good!), the shootouts minimal (also good; more time for dialogue!), and the runtime 20 minutes longer than it needed to be (oops!). Great to see them both back together though.

A chilling adaptation of a great book. broadly focuses on the right things. Every casting is perfect and Rosamund Pike is superbly unsettling.

If you can look past the central joke is all about prison rape (a big if), you're rewarded with a genuinely funny movie. Dense with jokes across a variety of topics. Kevin Hart doesn't do a _lot_ to break out of his small-loud-sidekick role, but he has some good acting moments.

As a comedy of errors, leans more heavily into errors than comedy. There _are_ a wild series of errors though, so the writing gets a plus. They come relentlessly though, which makes it sort of an exhausting watch up until we reach the film's classic ending which saved the whole thing.

Has great heart. Silly, but not in a way that detracts from the story. Sort of more fun on the second viewing- you get to sit back and let it wash over you.

I don't usually think much about the musical performances on SNL. But this was a thoughtful documentary about how impactful they've been over the years and the careers they've launched. Great performances, interviews, and editing.

Charming, yet more modern feeling. Lots of great jokes. Pacing was a little slow and the story was less focused than it could have been. That's what happens when you translate 30 min movies into a 90 minute one. Felt like they could have tightened it up a fair bit.

Great little villain and some impressively expressive eyebrows. It's always cool how much they say without dialogue.

Holds up remarkably well for as old as it is. Jokes land, there's more plot than you'd expect, and the costuming is very cool. It's also stuffed to the gills with cameos, which is pretty fun.

Plot wise, it’s like a really wet Jurassic Park? I didn’t love the really slow first half and unremarkable characters. Some good action pieces and some good cast members though.

No one does spectacle like John M Chu. Does a great job exploring and expanding the story without straying too far. Costumes and sets were beautiful and the whole production just oozed vibrancy.

A decent premise that was never quite fun enough to be truly fun. Wasn’t much christmas magic. Chenoweth is great as always and it’s nice to see Lohan doing things again.

Exhausting theater kid energy. Had some interesting perspectives on everyone's journey through their art and the paths that can take. But, felt disjoint, with too many characters. It also just seemes like drama for drama's sake- they just kept throwing bad things at these kids and everyone seemed miserable. It's ending was especially unsatisfying- it's a song where the ensemble pretends like everyone is fine when all evidence from the film points to the exact opposite. Whole thing was a real slog.

Tense and well acted. Fun inside look to the way NYC trains work. Heavy action, but keeps it moving. Could have maybe done more with the characters (and thinks about it) but it still works as a mostly-action outing.

It's a fun premise and a decent cast, but the lack of chemistry and an odd but not-fun performance out of Milligan left us out in the cold.

Tight, funny, and densely packed with classic gags. Some of the references don't resonate today and a few of the jokes are bumpier than I remembered. But, it has such a good nature that I couldn't help but grin the whole time.

Cheesy and contrived, but has good bones. Occasionally tense, some goofy lines, and generally good performances. It's remarkable how much of Airplane! came straight from this.

Has some good gags, but the pacing felt off. Some segments are dense, but others are more air than joke. Most of the time, it felt silly for silly's sake. You can see the inspirations for Airplane, but it definitely wasn't there yet.

Well-tread premise that has a few tricks up its sleeve. Ok performances and a predictable plot mostly let it down, but it picks up some steam in the back half.

Has some really touching stories about the immigrant experience and family dynamics, but the whole thing is let down by its otherwise uninspired writing. Absolutely stunning graphics though, and some charming worldbuilding.

I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Though the actual plot and villain don't bring a lot to the table, it never forgets to have fun. I'm not sure it would stand on its own if you'd never seen any other marvel things, it rewards that familiarity with great payoffs. It was great to see Hugh Jackman back in the saddle. The dialogue was funny and the references right up my alley, but YMMV. More than any other recent Marvel movie, it feels like it understands what makes these franchises worth watching.

Pretty hokey, but it was earnest. It’s fun seeing 1960s SF and Vicky liked how many whales there were. I’m not totally onboard with the emotional climax being 100% whale noises, but it was a good watch overall.

Sort of a fascinating movie. Felt longer than it was. I generally liked Keaton, but I didn't feel like we got much of him compared to Nicholson. Felt totally unfocused, bouncing between big action set pieces and goofy joker dances. Art direction was pretty good, but won't go down as a better Batman

Defenitely deserves its cultural sensitivity warning preroll. Story is decent and bits are funny, but largely fell flat for me. That said, I liked the orchestration, especially how they timed it with the action.

Well cast and paced. Was like 10% less fun than I wanted, but it's still a good time. The plot is weirdly straightforward and conflicts are easily resolved. Also the chatacters lack any emotional depth or background. It was also missing his characteristic flair, weirdly.

A decent enough romp, but a little too joyless for my tastes. Other movies have done adventure better since and there wasn’t enough fun tying it to the games.

The most remarkable thing this movie did was star both John Cena and Alison Brie yet be so boring and un-funny. The dictator was sort of the emotional core of the whole thing, which leads to some complicated messaging.

Some steller performances held back by just the slowest and lowest stakes narritive I’ve seein in a while. Disappointed, as I’ve loved most of McDonagh’s other work. This wasn’t a dark comedy, it was just… dark and boring and melancholy.

Absolutely spectacular. The staging adds a lot to the show and the music and stories are superbly presented. There’s a lot going on but there’s a lot of heart. I was a mess at the end. Beautifully done.

It was unhinged, but I sort of loved it. At some points it felt twisted for twisted's sake, but there was clearly thought put into every bit of the staging and story.

Great mix of acerbic, funny, and heartfelt. I really like it as a reaction to the past few years of american media/culture.

Extremely intense. Unbelievable performance out of Simmons. The examination of ambition and perfection is interesting, but all the characters come off as assholes who didn’t learn anything. Maybe that's "leaving it up to the viewer", but it left me with a sour taste. Definitely earned its intensity badge though.

Probably the strongest of the live-action remakes. It’s interesting - the parts of it that were new from the original were great. It’s a worse musical, you can’t replicate that. But it expanded the world and characters very effectively. Glad we watched it.

Really holds up. Great art, songs, and plot (more complex and twisty than I remembered). Robin Williams steals the show, but could be a little much for some of his scenes. Easily a top-tier movie though.

Did the most expansion of any of the other Disney remakes we’ve watched so far. It was largely good - fleshing out the world, places, and characters. The CGI was… competent, but not pleasant to look at. Great cast but worse music (which is to be expected).

This move is largely very pretty and the music is pretty good. But, if you remake a movie, you have to change and/or improve it. This remake negleected to do that- it’s actually remakably identical to the original with CGI instead of hand-drawn animation. Some bits are better, but others are worse. Hard to see why they bothered.

Interestingly worse than I remember. The animation is rough, closer to "Rescuers Down Under" than it is to "Lion King". The sotry is a little dated and the characters are pretty shallow. Great music and villians though.

Delightfully twisted mystery. Stacked cast and music. Cool setting. Definitely a "Last of Shiela" vibe. Great follow up to Knives Out.
Decent plot, great cast, bad sound balance. Fun overall though.

A strong entrant to "movies that are equal parts gory and hysterical". Strong leading performances and a great premise deliver a great movie that's full of heart.

Extremely charming. Glad they had time and money for more detailed animation, looked great. Really great to see what they can do with this ensemble we've grown to love.

Great performances and cinematography, but a lackluster plot and pacing. Definitely a step outside of his usual, and the weakest of his 3.

Great vibes, cinematography, and cast. The plot felt a little... formulaic? Had the same beats as most action movies, especially Marvel. Good watch and is ultimately touching, but felt a little too well-trod.

Honestly pretty boring. No one learned anything. 15 minutes of plot spread over 90 minutes. Some nice montages and music, but otherwise not much going for it.

Little slice of life about people maybe falling in love. Charming at bits, but overall pretty bland and low budget. Some ok songs, but it was fairly repetitive. Female lead was pretty weak, too.

One of my favorites. I love the intersection of religion, science, and politics that feels as fresh today as it did in the 90s. Stellar ensemble cast and examination of our place in the universe.

Had its moments, but failed to be more than a kids movie. Was needlessly childish and silly for too much time. I get it- that's the target audience. But it didn't have to be that way.

Childish, but generally charming. Some of the support cast is superb, others are more forgettable.

Had heart and a couple of great performances, but didn’t really hit the plot notes that it was shooting for. Definitely cute in the end, but didn’t feel like it had earned it.

Intense and thrilling. Great performances all around. Production design was incredible. I thought the story was a little too heady and unresolved. There were a lot of bits happening and it felt like it lacked focus. Parts were weird for weirdness sake. But it was also really funny in bits. Lots to like.

Wanted to watch after just having finished the videogame. I think it just puts in sharp relief how _good_ the performances were in the game. I liked some of the directorial choices, but the movie characters still just don't vibe with me. Except John C Reilly. Dude carries the movie.

Robin Williams, unsurprisingly, is the best. Good supporting cast. It didn't feel like it had a consistent message on the war and how we should be feeling about that. Had a lot of interesting montages of locals. Some good drama interspersed, but wasn't satisfying about it.

This was a movie designed around 3D and CGI, neither of which aged well. The rest of the plot was weak, nothing was worthwhile.

Muppets being so bawdy was sort of funny, but it didn't really come together in a satisfying way. There were a couple of good puppet specific gags, but mostly wasted potential on a thin racism metaphor.

Tense movie. Some bits didn't age as well and the focus on the toys was weird, but the escalating tension was good and the performances were superb. It wasn't as good hearted as I might have liked it to be- it felt sort of cruel. But, not everything needs to be.

The story on this one was weaker, but I was more invested because we'd gotten time to know the characters. Perfectly serviceable sequel.

Super interesting. There's a few layers to it, plus some good magic. I like that it's unusual. It talks a lot about how you see yourself and our perception of ourselves and the world around us. Definitely worth a watch, but pretty odd.

It was good, but felt rushed. They cut it pretty far down and it ended abruptly. Good performances, especially Umbridge. Did well with what it put in, but felt a little empty. It would be another one I'd be lost by without the book.

Pulled a lot of stuff out of the book, but dang if the time heist isn't fun. I'd be real confused if I hadn't read the books. Not a lot of resolution.

It definitely had some cool action, but the story was uncompelling and the characters had basically no development. Also not a musical. Honestly would have been stronger if it was a standalone movie with no ties to the original. Nice representation in the cast though, so it has that going for it!

Truly dreadful. Clearly he wanted to make a Japanese crime movie but had to keep putting car scenes in. Totally unlikeable main character made it hard to root for anyone but Han. Who dies. What a mess.

Interesting movie. Felt a little unfocused. Lots of fanservice, which was sort of fun. But it felt overly cliched and none of the characters felt too fleshed out. There was a lot I liked and the sets and settings were great as always. Music too. Plot overall was fine. Writing was just too sloppy for such a major media franchise.

It was... interesting. I feel like I missed something? It was a very slow burn but it didn't really go anywhere. No one really had a character arc and it felt unfocused. Cool period piece, but it was all flash and no bang. Very well stilized, but the plot itself was underwhelming. Beautiful cinematography though, and some geniuinely funny scenes. It was definitely a love letter to Hollywood and, as a series of largely unrelated scenes it has good moments, but it's no masterpiece

Definitely had its moments, but overall wasn't satisfying. They were both pretty funny, but the overall tone was sort of weird. The existential problems about what this Uber driver has to do is a little scary. Had some ok supporting cast but ultimately didn't get there. See nice guys or 21 jump st instead.

Really enjoyable. Packed a lot into a limited amount of time. The snapped characters felt a little shoehorned and some bits were cheesy, but the entire time heist segment was golden.

It had some funny moments but felt like it lacked cohesion? Maybe just not my style of humor. Watched it on my iPad in the theater while waiting for endgame.

Lots of very cute character moments that unfortunately couldn't hold up an otherwise very cheesy movie. I think I would have preferred this without so much action, as weird as that sounds. Leaned into the cast more and not had so much fighting. Good theme of found family and some genuinely great humor.

Very accurate portrayal of high schoolers. Downside, high schoolers are the worst. Too cheesy for its own own good. Had little glimmers of good, but mostly bland.

Surprisingly boring? Didn't care about the dragon romance and a lot of the plot didn't matter much. Some cute parts and good music/animation, but it was mostly too cheesy and childish.

This movie was long. Felt like a bunch of fairly unrelated scenes, some of which had totally separate and largely unrelated characters. Three was some cute points but it was... a lot.

Didn't quite relive the absurd humor of the first one, but it was fun! A few choice amazing jokes. Not paced quite as well either and had more standard kid movie tropes. Lots of good happening though.

Phenomenal cast and cinematography. A lot of really good camera moves, too. As a heist movie, it's really slow and the heist itself is fairly minimal. There's a ton of dramatic exposition that really steals focus. That part is fine, but it didn't feel like the threads came together.

It was fine. Not unenjoyable, but feels... manufactured? It's hard to put into words. It was fine. There were a bunch of cute references to the rest of the movies, which was fun. Story was mostly forgettable though. I wonder what it would have been if Howard directed the whole thing.

Totally ridiculous. Felt a little like clue. Great cast. Story was fine, if not a little nonsensical. Peter Sellers as a Chinese dude was really uncomfortable; that's the biggest mark against it. Liked the parodies of other great detectives.

Pretty interesting movie. Tonally, it felt really strange? Started out funny, got real serious, then got funny again and basically ruined any thriller aspect it had. A weird mix of Gone Girl and Game Night. Performances and set were great. I wouldn't pick this over any of the aforementioned movies, but it definitely had its moments.

Much better the second time, knowing this is really just part 1. There's a lot of good character work that happens, with especially big payoff for those who have followed these characters for such a long time. Some great small interactions. Pretty good action, but with so many characters we didn't get a lot of good time with really anyone.

Didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Neat concept, good use of space (felt cramped), great cast/performances. I didn't feel like the plot resolved in any meaningful way. The various reveals were surprisingly boring.

A light and fun movie. Most of the characters were pretty boring except the hustler, who was great. Hit a lot of the same beats as 11, which is tough because it's worse. The style is also similar, but a little less polished. Some weird plot holes and there's surprisingly little tension, but the former didn't bother me at time of writing.
There's a line about the movie being for little girls who want to be criminals. I get that and appreciate the representation angle, but I wish girls had better movies to look up to.

a little all over the place but there's a lot of funny dialogue. Characters are fine and all of the other groups are basically non existant, but it's fun. After what was a very boring part 2, the third is the sequel we should have always had. It took fun stuff and expanded on it.

Not a fun movie, certainly. Shot well. Pretty intense and emotionally draining. It's... a surprisingly small story, and it’s told pretty well. Points off for lack of much humor and how replaceable most of the characters are. They’re hard to tell apart and don’t have a lot of personality anyway.

Like, it's a lot. Not a lot of small scenes. GoT problem of tons of switching scenes constantly. Definitely ends on a grim note. More than anything, it felt like we're missing the resolution. We got our first half and and are waiting for the second half. I think it'll be better on a second viewing while I'm not trying to process the action and the emotions, because there were some good ones in there.

Fun movie. Visually stunning. Story was light, but fun. Lots of IPs used. Pretty impressive.

Franco is great. Definitely some funny parts, definitely a lot of weirdness. The side by side is great, they did a pretty phenomenal job recreating it. Great supporting cast

Continues to be fun. Good time loop, doesn't get slow. Good action, but also slow parts!

Pretty fun movie. Pacing was relentless. Lots of fighting, not much for character development, didn't really care about characters. Fights were food and the humor was there. Definitely some cute moments. Felt like some important scenes got cut. Still, decently fun.

Really cute and inspiring. Great take on modern high school. Glad for a movie that's happy

Like a worse 21 jump street with hotter people. The story was pretty boring and besides a couple of cute scenes nothing really there. Decent movie to have on in the background of a flight or something.

This was a mess. A lot of nice costumes and cool environments/chi tied together with a disaster of a story and underwhelming performances.

Light, funny. Decent action, very self aware. Some good jokes with pretty good payoff. Some threads that felt pointless. All together pretty fun.

Such an emotional movie. The music was great and the art and culture was such a joy. The story was good and really makes you care about the characters

Amazing art. Great story. Good acting. Cool characters and fights. So important for the representation and cultural aspect. The biggest thing holding it back were the predictability, pacing, and writing. Seriously a lot to like here though.

Fun movie, some good character work. Started big with the winning, got sadder, ended on a pleasant note. Unrelated, moviepass was down, paid out of pocket.

Really fun and light movie. Jack Black stole the show acting as a teenage girl. Them acting through a videogame was a neat frame. Pretty funny, moves well. Good chemistry with the leads - they capture the mannerisms of the kids well.

Not as clever as I remember, but still a ton of fun. Some neat American history in there!

Has none of the charm of the first one. The good part wasn't them as characters, it was them interacting with history. This is all about "bad" versions of them and doesn't really deliver on its big setup. There's also a weird early-90s puppet monster. The movie is just weak outside a few choice lines

Amazing cast. Very relevant, good performances and music. A little repetitive with some of the drama and situations, but enjoyable. The implication that they were a part of a larger fight for the freedom of the press was surprisingly emotional.

Cute parts, but ultimately about a teenager yelling at things. I guess she learns and it's nice, but I spent too much of the movie thinking how annoying she and her mom were.

There was a lot to like. It was slow and the low key environment was a good change of pace. The characters were great and the cast was unreal. Great roles all around. The plot got a little confusing, but mostly got explained. Not the best heist movie, but not a terrible one.

Weak plot, but great humor and wodnerful to have the cast all together again.

This is the kind of movie that I want to read a plot synopsis of and an art book. It moves slow, which is fine but it's too steeped in its own philosophy to be enjoyable. I can tell that is was notable at the time and i'm glad for what it did for sci-fi, but I don't think it holds up. We wached the "correct" version, too.

definitely had issues, but it ultimately came together for a satisfying package. It was made by fans of the show and they clearly cared how it tuned out. It kept a lot of the same charm as the show. While that doesn't always translate to the big screen, you won't be sad you watched the movie.

Nice coming back to an old favorite after seeing a bunch of new favorites. Some of the lines don't age great (characters felt wooden in parts), but the action and small moments are still top notch.

This one is sort of all over the place. Very stylized, lots of 90s computer graphics. Pretty goofy, but had some actual (if not convoluted and forced) plot thrown in. I can see what it's a cult classic
