This is on my favorite list of films of all time, yet it also still feels like a new experience. Dunne and Grant’s energy is so lovely, and also a nice contrast with Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby. Dunne can be more subdued and the jokes aren’t as physical. By the time the third act arrives, the movie could end at anytime and it would never be long enough. Dunne takes it up another level and I’m here for it.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
I was not on their wavelength at all for the first 20 minutes or so. It looked amazing but was sensory overload. Basically I was lost, but I was supposed to be. The next two hours unveiled the situation and explained the “Spider-Verse” very well. In fact I thought it was an interesting blend of super-hero formula with questioning of genre and franchises. The whole canon plot was very meta. I wish most super-hero films were this smart and self aware.
