    Shazam! Fury of the Gods

    ★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    LITERAL Deus ex Machina.

    The only real way to watch this movie is in a theater with a full audience that completely buys into it. I didn't jump once, but the audience I saw it with jumped and gasped and laughed at their own jumpiness over and over. It's one of the most quiet movies I've ever seen. I could regularly hear the guy behind me on the right whispering "Oh my fucking god" over and over while also hearing the guy behind me…

    What fantasy world does this movie take place in?

    ★★★★

    It’s like Titanic, but with more vomit and diarrhea and less Celine Dion.

    Having completist tendencies can be rough. So yes, I'll watch your entire Marvel show even though it's something I would never bother with if it weren't Marvel.

    You can tell it’s a comedy because of all the cartoonish sound effects.

    ★★★★

    Too many montages and tinkling pianos. Weird subplots that don’t go anywhere and a song that feels wildly out of place. There’s a lot of typical romcom crap in this movie. But there’s also a lot to like. It’s usually frank and unafraid of sex. And I appreciate that the obstructions in the relationship feel more like personal hang ups than contrived misunderstandings. It’s also weird to hear Garth Brooks get mentioned so much in a 2022 movie. The movie…

    That “Pinocchio” song that Tom Hanks sings is like that “Hot Chocolate “ train wreck all over again. No more showtunes for Tom Hanks. The one thing I liked about the movie is how it leans into the creepiness of the shadow men on Pleasure Island. Otherwise this movie is useless.

    Why is everyone wearing a jacket in July?

  • The Wedding Singer

    The Wedding Singer

    ★★

    This movie is a lot more mean spirited and self-serving than I remember. The only reason the movie works at all is because Drew Barrymore is adorable.

  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

    The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

    ★★★★

    The movie takes way too long to leave the party, but it brings a giant spider so it evens itself out.
