Hereditary
The pace of the movie is a slow and crawls by, but you are dragged with it by these pulses of craziness. You are left in a state of "What the hell?" that makes you just raise your eyebrows and continue to lean in.

Maxxxine
he best of the three movies in this series, but by far the slowest and the weakest ending. This movie had a great cast weirdly. Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and of course Mia Goth. This movie is a lot easier to watch as it isn't covered in porn...

Pearl
Since this is labeled as a horror film, there is an overwhelming sense of creepy throughout the movie that lives on from the first. You are just waiting for crazy to happen and when it does, it zooms into the hell that she builds.
Movies
The Accountant
This came out years ago, 2016, but it still holds up. The explanations of Autism, especially in these days where inclusivity is more important than some other things. However, I think that this portion of the story is so pivotal and so well done in this movie that it makes him almost a superhero.
Movies
The Blind Side
I am hesitant to review this movie because it is a great movie with great acting, but the story has since soured and I am unsure the truth. My opinion of the situation will not play a part in the review. It will be reviewed as a fictional movie.
Movies
The Fall Guy
You can see the friendship that Ryan and Emily have. These two being friends outside the movie is blatant, and it makes it so good to watch. The jokes, the chemistry, the silliness, and the witty give and take is just on point. It is everything we want from a love story or buddy comedy.
Movies
The Marsh King's Daughter
The settings are super simple, but are used to the maximum, and you get to have some sense how deep the marshes are in Michigan and to be honest I don't think "Marsh" in Michigan. That is a Florida thing, you know?
Movies
Armageddon
There are some scenes on the asteroid that still look awesome, and I really enjoyed it. In fact, upon looking into it, it was the sound and visual effects that won an Academy Award. The story is for sure not following any decent science, but it is entertaining.
Movies
Ender's Game
However, having watched it, even comparing to my memory of the book, it doesn't hold up well. If I ever got a chance to talk to Orson Scott Card and whoever owns the film rights, I would want to redo it with a miniseries that combines both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow books.
Movies
Crazy Stupid Love
This is one of my wife's favorite movies. Between this and Space Force she really likes Steve Carrell, but she doesn't like The Office. What makes the story even better is the way that it weaves all the stories together and makes for a great ending.
Movies
Knives Out
That is something else this movie does really well. Provides an excellent story where there is no real wasted portion of the movie. Every single scene is brought back to show either some clue that we missed watching it or some additional symbolism
Movies
Inside Man
The acting is great though. Outside the writing, I feel the cast dove into their characters and it was really good to see. There isn't anyone that I feel cheated the role or anything else. They all are dedicated to it.
