Gosford Park is a masterpiece and the cinematography is overwhelmingly beautiful and Robert Altman is the best and

Booksmart.

So, again what ever happened with the american comedy? Another formulaic movie thats so safe and bland it just hurts. Its a shame because Wilde has visual chops for sure, but he chose to make a another cute boring pc ¨comedy¨.

Destroyer was pretty good. Kidman did an outstanding job. I will say, though, that the scene where:
Spoiler: show
Chris follows Silas back into the bank following the botched robbery, has the drop on him from ~10 meters away, fires a few shots and misses despite being well trained with firearms, then is subsequently shot and killed,
was extremely fucking stupid. I had to take a minute there. Still, worth a watch.

Mid90s was okay. Jonah Hill desperately wanted to make his version of Kids, I guess.

The Mule was also only okay. I'm just glad Eastwood is alive and kicking by this point.

I was so turned off with Mid90s...and as time goes by i went from ¨good first movie¨, ¨i liked the framing¨ To what a piece of shit that was...Overblown and trying desperate to be hype and cool.

I think "good first movie" is probably the most fair assessment there.

It was well made, very modern Disney in form and style. Will Smith took a lot of space. Could have scaled him back a little bit. I liked the other main cast better. The songs fit well with the movie, and did not overwhelm it. Probably a bit much for young childen. We had a good time.
