Overdue Recaps

Between the last 2 movies I wrote about, which were Unsane (in March)  and Hereditary, I have seen a slew of stuff I'd like to say a sentence or two about.

Flower- I think I would have enjoyed this more if I were 20 and or didn't care about a flimsy plot.

Ready Player One- Not sticking to the book worked for this film. I went in with low expectations and found myself enjoying it.

A Quiet Place- This one deserves it's own post. Possibly my favorite film of the year so far, A great, scary, original film that made me afraid to make a sound while I watched a family terrorized by monsters who hunt by sound. My poor popcorn didn't have a chance!

The Party -Pitch black comedy about political and marital discontent. Fantastic cast, I liked it.

Ismael's Ghost- If someone says "you could watch Ismael's Ghost or watch paint dry" Watch the paint dry. This was so boring and disjointed.

Gemini- Two words: "Lesbian Intrigue". Two more words: "L.A. Noir". Very enjoyable.

Revenge- This was a little too I Spit on Your Grave for me. And over-hyped.

Solo- There was plenty to like about this (Han's origin story, young Lando, meeting Chewie,  Finding out how he made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs). I'd personally like them to slow it down with the Star Wars movies. It's taking the magic out of them.

Adrift- I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Less about the love story, more about survival at sea. And Shailene Woodley was great.

RBG- This documentary on Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a little too middle of the road for me.

The Rider- A beautifully shot film based on a true story featuring not actors, but the real people the story is about. Sad, real, and beautiful to sum it up.

Ocean's 8- I liked this heist movie a lot. Maybe because of the cast (Sandra Bullock, Cate Blachett, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, and Rihanna) or maybe because the cast had hardly any men. Whatever, Cate Blanchett on a motorcycle!!!!! WOO!

The Seagull- Do you like being depressed? Do you like great casts who don't have a lot to do? Do you like Russian literature brought to life by not Russian actors? Well, this might be the movie for you. We cringed our way through it.

Alright! There you have it, mini reviews! You are welcome!
