Batman 1989
It's been a long, long time since I've last watched this one. I believe I was in grade school. I definitely remember more about Batman Returns, for various reasons.
Batman is excellent, this might be one of Tim Burton's best-directed films, everything from the production design, to the performances, and the plot, it feels ripped straight out of a comic book. Michael Keaton makes for such a great Batman.

Maybe a little too brisk and some of it does feel a tad underdeveloped, but I overall, I thought this was great.

Naked 2017
Naked isn't good, but it's a hell lot better than what I thought it'd be. It's not funny, it's lazy, and at only 90 minutes the film feels like it's 3 hours long. Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall do give it a lot of effort though, so there's that and there's some actual genuinely sweet moments during the film. Better than a lot of the comedies from Netflix.
