Weekly Review Wrapup

The Father: BPN Catch Up. It delved into the mind of a man's suffering from extreme dementia. The Academy eats this shit up. 8/10

The Nice Guys: Full disclosure. I tried watching this movie once before, hated it and turned it off. Gave it another chance. I enjoyed it. Still think it is weird to show a 13-year-old a porn flick. 8/10

Raging Bull: I wanted to watch films from my birth year for my birthday. I expected more from this movie. I was bored to death with the boxing scenes that looked fake as hell. The second half of the movie was better. 5/10

The Mirror Crack'd: Clips of this movie were on YouTube with Kim Novak and Elizabeth Taylor throwing shade at each other. Just watch that. The mystery of the center of the movie was boring and unsatisfying. I fell asleep in the middle of the movie. 3/10

Coal Miner's Daughter: I was going to see this movie before I learned about Loretta Lynn's death. Do I want to watch a movie about a 13-year-old getting married to a guy in their 20s, having a baby at 14, picking up a guitar and singing? Not really. 6/10

Bros: It's sad that the movie is bombing at the box office. This movie was enjoyable. It poked fun at the hyper-masculine mindset ingrained in the gay community. Bros being bros, bro. 9/10

Don't Worry Darling: Going into this movie, I knew it was going to be garbage. I was right. It was derivative. The "twist" was stupid. 4/10

Blue Jasmine: Not even Cate Blanchett's masterful performance can save this weak movie from fading into the background. 6/10

Blood Simple: A taut and suspenseful noir with a fantastic score and unsettling atmosphere. The motivations of the characters were unclear to me that hurt the movie. 8/10

Hacksaw Ridge: BPN Catch Up. This is not the kind of movie that I vibe with. I don't bible quotes thrown at me. I don't want blatant racism of the Japanese. The gore was too much to handle for me. Enough was enough. 2/10
