Monkey Man 2024
There was action before Dev Patel and now there is action after Dev Patel. We asked him to save us so many times that he did that and completely reinvigorated the genre in the process - every moment of this explodes with the ferocity of someone with limitless passion and nothing to lose. Some will feel conflicted over the messy, guerilla-style approach to some of the visuals and narrative beats (Covid complications leading to iPhone footage, cameras swinging from ropes…

Mean Girls 2024
I kind of have no idea what to make of this, I got some enjoyment in the moment after I adjusted to the weird blend of it being a musical/adaptation of a show that’s based on the movie? Those theater kids were singing their mf hearts out but a lot of high school movies that are set in modern day fall short trying to capture a social environment that just doesn’t exist anymore. This could objectively never be as good…

The Beekeeper 2024

Too self-serious for its own good and the other people should have talked! Still had a bird though and that match cut was epic.

The Killer 2023
When he said “of the many lies told by the U.S. military-industrial complex, my favorite is still their claim that sleep deprivation didn't qualify as torture” I felt that

The Marvels 2023
Half spunk, half schlock. Nia DaCosta is innocent and Iman Vellani is the cutest person to ever exist. I think we should just make movies about the Flerkens now. The FCU.

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
Lily Gladstone gives one of the most important performances of the decade. Leonardo DiCaprio gets spanked. Thank you Martin Scorsese.
