Letterboxd — Your life in film

65 is a puzzling film because it had very little marketing for what is likely a a considerable budget. Going into this film knowing only that it’s about Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs is the best way to approach it. The central concept is actually really cool and had the potential to be a solid Sci-fi epic, but unfortunately past the introduction it really falls flat. It’s easy to look past some of the confusing parts of the concept like the…

The main reason I watched this was for Jamie, but I really don’t think I’m in the right age range to enjoy this because I found the majority of it painfully unfunny. The only part that was actually hilarious was Ken killing that poor old lady and her dogs. I found Otto extremely annoying and the humor of the character didn’t work at all for me. Pretty much all of the characters just suck other than Ken so it was…

I didn’t love the new Scream quite as much as everyone else. It’s a solid horror flick and maybe I’m just not familiar enough with the series, but it felt like a downgrade from the last installment. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two thirds, but the ending was pretty lackluster in my opinion. This series is supposed to be the most meta horror franchise but this ending was so predictable. They already did the thing in the last one where…

The main reason I wanted to check this out was for the reuniting of Alison Brie and Danny Pudi, and in that regard it definitely didn’t disappoint, but unfortunately I can’t say the same for the rest of it. This is a very straightforward rom com setup, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but since all of the characters are so unlikeable it doesn’t work at all. Other than Danny Pudi who is absolutely perfect and adorable, all the other…

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Creed or Creed II but if that’s the only thing holding you back from seeing this I wouldn’t worry about it because it’s super enjoyable even if there are some blind spots in the story. The standout here is obviously the direction by Michael B. Jordan. The way the fights are shot and choreographed are easily the coolest boxing has ever looked in a movie. I know he’s talked about the way…

I’ve been binging Bob’s Burgers as much as possible lately and while I haven’t gotten even halfway through the show I’ve been dying to watch the movie. I decided to finally give in and just watch it and I’m glad I did. This reminds me a lot of the two part episode where Bob saves the town, but structured a lot better. I love all the Bobs Burgers characters and getting more of them is always a treat. The only…

Triangle of Sadness was definitely not what I was expecting it to be, but I can’t say that was too much of a bad thing. I think this movie does what The Menu was trying to do in a much more meaningful fashion. Easily the most compelling part of it is seeing a bunch of rich assholes get what’s coming to them. The three distinct parts separate the story nicely and I really like how things from the first part…

The Half of It was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. It has some moments were goes for the low hanging fruit and falls for the obvious cliches, but for the most part I thought it was pretty well written. The conflict was a fairly straightforward rom com setup but the way it was built on was really fun. What really made this film enjoyable for me was the performances from the three main leads. They…

Spooky, funny, and horny, what’s not to love? An American Werewolf in London is atmospheric horror comedy with some of the best practical effects I’ve ever seen. It does an excellent job mixing a dark tone with unexpected comedy. I also really like how they add details to make the story differ from the traditional werewolf we are so used to seeing. I love how David is feeling delusional and haunted by his past, it’s an interesting direction to take…
