I hated the christmas chronicles at first but by the end i found myself christmasly entertained enough.
Nothing about it looks or feels remotely cinematic. It plays like a Hallmark movie. I can’t do it.

I really do not like Cuaron. I saw all I needed to see.

It doesn't really address any of the questions the viewer would have but its so stupid you find yourself not even giving a shit and wondering why you bothered watching in the first place.

This is true by the end of the movie. Totally agree. however, the journey there is entertaining. It just means to be more important than it actually is.

I thought Malkovich was fantastic.

I could tell from the trailer that Bird Box was awful. It's a knock off of A Quiet Place, right?

it would be fine if it was a good copy. But its just plain stupid. There are two characters that just vanish from the movie after a scene. Nobody even talks about them anymore. The ending is insulting. Its a movie that treats its audience as stupid morons.

Watched The Darkest Minds the other day. Trite doesn't even begin to describe it. I read a blurb about the book just to see if anything was terribly different and apparently the book is worse, somehow? It's focused on America so you have no sense of scale. I mean, if 98% of the kids died then you'd think there would be a major international effort but no one else is mentioned.

This feels suspiciously like my argument about Adjustment Day.

Revenge.

Super basic story, kind of a rip off of so many different and better movies. Still i appreciate the violence and gore. And it looked good too.
