Watched 'The Guard' last night. Very funny, Irish black comedy with Brendon Gleeson and Don Cheadle.
Not a film for people who dislike swearing and/or unPC jokes though.
Room. I expected to be disappointed since movies based on books tend to not be too good, but I was sooo happy with it. I'd suggest you watch it if you haven't already.
Just got done watching Kubo and the Two Strings. Loved it. It was a very nice movie. Loved the acting, the cinematography and the artwork. 8/10
Finally saw Black Panther. Really liked it. The acting was good, so was the cinematography, the fight scenes and it was worth the watch overall. 8/10
Just saw a Quiet Place. It was ok, but it was so full of plot holes that it could be distracting and the pacing was too slow and plodding at points. 4/10
Theater: Solo: a Star Wars Story. Han's written like a complete flake, and the swift killing off of 'obligatory smol alien' and 'obligatory fussy robot' strongly indicated that the writers disliked them as much as I did but ran out of time to actually redo them. Note that I've liked the rest of the modern Star Wars movies.
(I think it's mostly on me that I wasn't into it, I don't like the kind of characters that would pit a major plot point on gambling, for example, but can admit that's in Han's character).
At Home: Ratatouille! I watched it with my seven year old cousin and thought it was wonderful. I appreciated that it uses a metaphor for prejudice that actually challenges an assumption the viewer may have (namely that sentient rats ought not be the most sanitary cooks), unlike something like Detroit: Become Human where the robots infamously aren't aesthetically or behaviorally very different from us at all. The writing behind Remy's double life and initial snub from recognition over Linguine is incredibly clever, they felt written from experience. The B plot about Linguine inheriting the restaurant was silly though.
