What We Do in the Shadows
2018-01-06
Home
Basically a series of weird sketches, but not unenjoyable. Watiti definitely has a style
Lady Bird
2018-01-11
Theater
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.
The Post
2018-01-20
Theater
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.
"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
2018-01-24
Theater
Phenominally acted. Characters had great growth and the writing made you care for each character. Story flowed well, everyone seemed realistic. Amazing.
Dave Chappelle: The Age of Spin
2018-02-05
Home
Really well crafted piece of comedy. He misses the point a bit on some of his stances, but he's an undeniably funny dude
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
2018-02-07
Theater
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.
Murder on the Orient Express
2018-02-09
Home
Some really neat shots. Awesome ensemble that didn't really live up to potential. Great source material, so it was enjoyable at the very least.
Molly's Game
2018-02-14
Theater
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.
Black Panther
2018-02-17
Theater
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.
Anastasia
2018-02-20

Cute songs, decent story, animation didn't age well.
Coco
2018-02-25
Home
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
Game Night
2018-03-07
Theater
Light, funny. Decent action, very self aware. Some good jokes with pretty good payoff. Some threads that felt pointless. All together pretty fun.
A Wrinkle in Time
2018-03-16
Theater
This was a mess. A lot of nice costumes and cool environments/chi tied together with a disaster of a story and underwhelming performances.
Baywatch
2018-03-16
Home
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.
"Love, Simon"
2018-03-19
Theater
Really cute and inspiring. Great take on modern high school. Glad for a movie that's happy
Pacific Rim: Uprising
2018-03-22
Theater
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.
The Disaster Artist
2018-03-23
Home
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
Hook
2018-03-26
Home
Some very weird moment and some "off" pacing, but a pretty fun movie.
Ready Player One
2018-03-28
Theater
Fun movie. Visually stunning. Story was light, but fun. Lots of IPs used. Pretty impressive.
Blockers
2018-04-09
Theater
Emotionally inconsistent and pretty all over the place. Cena is great, most of the other characters were bad. Tried to do a lot and didn't exceed at really any of it. A couple of funny scenes, but they were never quite satisfying
A Quiet Place
2018-04-12
Theater
I think this is objectively a good movie, though not one I personally enjoyed. I don't like scary movies and this was 90 minutes of pure stress. Sound and tension was incredible, but I did not have an enjoyable time
South Pacific
2018-04-20
Home
Really pretty old fashioned. There's a central plot point that the main character can't be with another because he had kids with a native girl. A couple of cute songs. Some weird effects and not great characters. Clearly a big production at the time, but hasn't aged well.
Avengers: Infinity War
2018-04-26
Theater
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.
John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City
2018-05-01
Home
Pretty funny. Reused some material from snl, but this was probably filmed first. Structure is a little weird and I would have chosen a different final joke, but he's undoubtedly a funny dude
Casablanca
2018-05-06
Home
It was good! Very dramatic. I didn't realize Rick's in AA was a reference to this. Lots of famous lines. Pretty enjoyable though, especially for such an old movie. Pretty wild that they didn't know how WWII would end when they filmed it.
Naked
2018-05-08
Home
Definitely has its funny parts. Feels a little clunky and emotionally inconsistent. Definitely ran long. If you like time loop movies and and bad rom coms, you might enjoy it.
Deadpool 2
2018-05-18
Theater
Pretty fun! Worse than the first in a lot of areas, but still great. Domino stole the show. Didn't care about the kid, really. Pretty good fights and jokes. Lacked some of the charm of the first, but did have some really stellar jokes.
Everest
2018-05-29
Home
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.
Labyrinth
2018-06-07
Home
A lot of the puppets are pretty creepy. Bowie is weird but ethereal. Story has some cute moments but is mostly nonsense. Puppets aged really well.
Incredibles 2
2018-06-30
Theater
Really fun! Explored legality a little bit, but it was more of a set piece than anything else. Great action, lots of cute scenes. A very worthy sequel.
Assassin's Creed
2018-07-06
Home
pretty dramatic, feels like not everything was explained? Action was decent but there were a lot of cuts. Hard to follow. Supporting cast literally didn't matter
Pitch Perfect 3
2018-07-06
Home
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.

Unexpectedly touching! Some great action scenes and fun. Pretty good dialogue and a great cast. I am left happy.
Election

Weird, but sort of fun. Neat seeing the past and future arcs of the characters
Rampage
2018-07-19
Home
Mostly nonsense with a couple of fun cgi action scenes. The rock is charming, as usual. Not much to write home about.
Ocean's 8
2018-07-25
Theater
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.
Snowpiercer
2018-07-28

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.
The Belko Experiment
2018-07-28
Home
Gory, messy, but fun. I liked the concept but the movie didn’t do anything wild with it. Lots of shouting, great cast. Nothing too wild, but if you want fighting check this out.
Sorry to Bother You
2018-07-29
Theater
This was... something. Great cast, interesting concept that got wild. A lot of symbolism, I guess? It was a lot.
Ant-Man and the Wasp
2018-08-01
Theater
Way better than the first one! Ok antagonists (lots of them), much better action. Quantum stuff a little hand-wavy and the plot was pretty wide. Lots more fun though.
Hannah Gadsby: Nanette
2018-08-03
Home
Really powerful. Incredibly well written. Blends a lot of subject areas very well. Quite funny too.
Three Identical Strangers
2018-08-08
Theater
Intense, but well presented. Not as happy go lucky as I thought it would be, but it raises some interesting ethical questions. They did an amazing job with the interviews and clips.
Get Smart
2018-08-10
Home
Surprisingly funny! Definitely not perfect but great cast and a lot of great moments. Definitely worth catching.
Sleeping with Other People
2018-08-10
Home
Pretty cute. I liked the depiction of intense, fun relationships. Good cast. Some good jokes and good emotional arcs.
John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid
2018-08-11
Home
Really funny, but I had heard a lot of the bits before. He continues to be great though.
Proud Mary
2018-08-19
Home
Very dramatic, but mostly without tension. Taraji P Henson was great, as was Danny glover. Story was real weak and fight choreo left much to be desired.
The Death of Stalin
2018-08-19
Home
a very interesting mix of hilarious and fairly serious. Mostly a farce. Had a good time. Pretty good cast. Some really really funny scenes, some ok scenes, and some dramatic parts that were fine, but tonally confusing. Needs more Jon Ham
BlacKkKlansman
2018-09-05
Theater
Lots of well-crafted tension. Great performances all around. Some pretty direct modern parallells, almost too direct. Definitely well crafted and affecting.
Crazy Rich Asians
2018-09-09
Theater
Amazingly cute movie. Great cast, lots of great jokes, amazing sets and costumes. Really touching story about family. Great supporting cast too. Can't understate the representation aspect, either. Really a delight.
"Juliet, Naked"
2018-09-19
Theater
Some cute moments but nothing standout. Enjoyed the story overall
Searching
2018-09-22
Theater
Really cool! Shot incredibly interestingly. Good plot and performances. Good tension. John Cho rocked.
A Simple Favor
2018-09-26
Theater
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.
Adventureland
2018-09-27
Home
Teen coming off age film, but none of the characters are particularly likable? Good cast and style, but that's about it
Mindhorn
2018-09-30
Home
Light and fun, nothing outstanding. Like Hot Fuzz, but worse
Free Solo
2018-10-08
Theater
Emotionally intense. Really cool, great graphics. A neat look at relationships and death backdropping what's otherwise an intense movie.
Venom
2018-10-10
Theater
This was... a mess. Hardy's performance was great. He wasn't a like able character, mostly, but he grows on you. Venom is weird. A lot of jokes didn't quite land. I did like how it was a bit of a different approach to hero movies. Pacing was strange, started slow. Definitely had its moments, but there's a lot to criticize
The Old Man and the Gun
2018-10-17
Theater
It was cute. A bit of heist, a bit of romance. Slow and deliberate. Felt spread a little thin, but it was pleasant.
A Star Is Born
2018-10-24
Theater
Felt disjoint and underdeveloped? Music was great, performances pretty good. Just didn't feel like I cared about any of it.
The Addams Family
2018-10-31
Home
Weird and dramatic, but charming. Good spooky movie.
The Meg
2018-11-04
Home
About what I expected. Some charming moments and tension, but also mostly dumb action tropes and ridiculous sea life.
Murder by Death
2018-11-05
Home
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.
She's Out of My League
2018-11-06
Home
Definitely had some cute scenes, funny moments, and maybe even a message! It didn't quite come together but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.
Bohemian Rhapsody
2018-11-08
Theater
Great performance, energy, and pacing. What a wide. This is the movie Star is Born wanted to be.
Solo: A Star Wars Story
2018-11-09
Home
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.
Dogma
2018-11-13
Home
Jay sucks, but everyone else is great. Good cast, fun story. It was very "good omens", but more crass.
Widows
2018-11-21
Theater
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.
Brother Bear
2018-11-25
Home
A little cheesy, but cute. Pretty good music, too!
Mission: Impossible
2018-11-26
Home
A little kitschy, but there were some very cool shots and decent stunts.
A Christmas Prince
2018-11-28
Home
Had a couple of charming bits but it was mostly humorless and pretty dumb.
Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2
2018-11-29
Theater
Definitely some weird parts. Pretty good cast. I liked the visualization of the internet, but a lot of the meme stuff won't age well. The pile of Ralphs was horrifying.
A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding
2018-11-30
Home
Somehow even worse than the first.
Green Book
2018-12-05
Theater
Super cute movie. Definitely a holiday feel good thing. Pretty self contained; not quite sure what they always us to come away with. But, it was enjoyable all the way through.
Sense and Sensibility
2018-12-14

Good performances. Very British. Very long.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
2018-12-15

Awesome animation and story. Really good outing
