Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
Can confirm the story plays out better the second time. It’s crazy how many small details you can fail to catch when there is This Much Movie. Every time Kiri does anything I want to cry

Glass Onion 2022
Aims to entertain and does so with flying colors - the screenplay isn’t as tight as Knives Out and it can get weighed down by its own mystery going into the latter half, but it’s also grander and more eccentric than its predecessor which is really fun. Very punchy and increasingly prescient commentary from Rian Johnson. Edward Norton is a scary good billionaire asshat, but Janelle Monáe steals the show. Daniel Craig is one of our most precious little men…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
TL;DW: an endearing mess. I’m sure there are many of us who are inclined to forgive flaws here because of who’s behind the camera, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, and even so, Raimi breathes so much life into this despite a messy script and the usual confines of the MCU.

Nobody 2021
Still fun. A playground for emasculated men who get off on killing each other that’s completely unafraid of its own cheesy dad sensibilities. Just a little B action flick with some of the best practical set pieces of 2021, and made for a cool 16 mil! Endearingly and purposefully thin. Bob Odenkirk you are so cool. So are you, RZA and Christopher Lloyd.

Night at the Museum and Before Sunrise had a baby, they must be bummed it’s neither charming nor insightful
