- nocturnal animals - 04/01/19
- along with the gods: the two worlds - 08/01/19 ★★★☆☆
- such an emotional climax. cute movie and concept. idk how i feel about d.o's character. annoying that this was planned out to be four movies because i would've liked to have seen/explored the realms more - like it's a very dialogue/plot driven story
- along with the gods: the last 49 days - 09/01/19 ★★☆☆☆ + 1/2
- soooo many plot holes! su-hong is also really boring/weird/annoying. i know he isn't the main character but it wouldn't kill them to make his story just a little bit interesting rather than throwing it away completely. it just drags down the first half of the movie. feels like he's detached from 'reality' and he sticks out it a bad way because of it. all scenes with him are basically filler and so it messes up the tone of the film

- it was okay. pretty much the quality i've come to expect from netflix movies (minus roma). i just never really felt like wong or park needed to be together but everyone was pushing for it just because they should or they've known each other since forever or it was expected. i enjoyed keanu's cameo more in the trailer than in the movie. maybe i was expecting too much but his role just wasn't as charming or fun as i had hoped. cinematography, script, line delivery, etc.; everything was just kinda blegh :/
- shazam! - 30/06/19 ★★★★☆
- so taken off guard by how much I enjoyed the movie and how well the humour hit. i was actually laughing, repeatedly, lol. i feel like they balanced the dark and light well by restricting the horror to the bad guys. Conversely the babysitter's prolonged death scene in jurassic world was jarring because it came out of nowhere and was tonally out of sync with the rest of the movie. darla was so adorable and cheesy but i didn't mind because the actress was so good and cute and felt sincere. i can understand people complaining about levi's characterisation of billy was too different from the child actor, but it was something i could overlook and didn't impact on my enjoyment of the movie the way pacing, bad acting or out of place/unfunny jokes might. the actors for child and adult freddy were both amazing and i loved the casting overall. arguably the villain felt a bit weak but overall i think, if they're planning a sequel/franchise, it's a good introduction.
- pokemon detective pikachu - 01/07/19 ★★★☆☆ + 1/2
- psyduck was so cute! pikachu too, and i didn't actually mind reynolds' voice. i also wasn't as grossed out or hateful of how they rendered the pokemon. the plot was pretty obvious and i guessed most of it early on but i still enjoyed the movie. obligatory heteronormative coupling remains tiring to watch but at least they didn't kiss after knowing each other for less than a day or two!
- gentlemen prefer blondes - 01/07/19 ★★★☆☆ + 3/4
- the seven year itch - 02/07/19 ★★☆☆☆
- marilyn is fun as always and her costumes are pretty but everything else is a slog. protagonist and his fantasies are ridiculous and get beyond tiring to watch. the white dress blowing upwards as marilyn stands above the subway grate doesn't seem like it deserves it iconic imagery considering we don't even see it as a full body shot. feels like the only thing the movie has to say is that men's extramarital urges are natural and they deserve to be 'scratched'.
- how to train your dragon: the hidden world - 02/07/19 ★★★☆☆ + 3/4
- decidedly more enjoyable than toy story 4 and yet i'm pretty sure httyd 3 is super generic and not as interesting thematically or plot-wise. visually really pleasing which makes it funny that i didn't really care about this in toy story 4. But the moment when toothless is drawing on the beach is amazing to watch because the sand just looks so realistic it was crazy. maybe because it was a simple story told through a beautiful medium that i didn't mind it functioning or existing only to tie all the knots and close the story because it was so satisfying and easy to consume. it didn't try to be too much and it was able to hit a sweet spot in the middle of an ambition sliding scale.
