Ferrari also a good time. Give it all the technical awards and give Penelope Cruz an Oscar

I was lukewarm on it but tempted because of Driver. Knowing both he and Cruz are in it, I feel like it's jumped into MUST territory.

It's a Christmas miracle.

Let's all go together on Christmas morning. I'll sneak in some Christmas cookies.

IN!

Leave the World Behind

I enjoyed this a lot more than expected. That isn't to say it's good -- the writing was dumb and required entirely too much suspension of disbelief, but I was entertained. In the end it felt like a slightly less ridiculous/shitty M. Night movie.

6.5 Friends finales/10

Finally saw Blood Simple today. It was OK.

Everyone hyped for Rebel Moon tonight

I watched the only Zack Snyder movie that I have any interest in today - Dawn of the Dead. It was an enjoyable experience and I don't want to taint it.

Dawn of the Dead is one of the best zombie movies.

I'm watching Fall (2022)

This is a very uncomfortable watch.

Wonka was fun. Charming if uneven. There aren't a ton of stakes but it's a kind and funny film. Good cast. One or two really great moments that expand the mythology in a rewarding way. Also some unnecessary callbacks. Overall, I enjoyed it

Poor Things. Overlong in the middle act. Great performances by everyone not named Ruffalo (dude is unreal bad and so far out of his depth I can't believe it). Stone and Dafoe deliver two of the best performances I've seen this year. It's a complicated movie with a lot to say. Fully understand why some hate it.

Watched and enjoyed Saltburn. I went in completely blind and it mostly kept me pretty off balance. There were some big laughs and some very uncomfortable scenes.

Spoiler: show

The big reveal didn't hit that hard, but I still really enjoyed the ride

I liked Wonka quite a lot and I really didn't expect to. I might see Poor Things tomorrow.

What's "the big reveal"?

Watching that Christmas Story sequel that’s not Christmas Story 2.

that Oliver had killed Felix and Venetia. Maybe it wasn't intended to be a surprise, I don't know. As I said I went in completely blind, so I don't know how the movie was marketed

This is not the main reason I disliked this movie, but it is one problem I had with it. There is no big reveal, but there is a montage that is played back to us like it's a big reveal. It's an odd moment in the movie, to me

Do you normally like Mark Ruffalo or no?
