    Old

    ★★★

    Visually stunning. I wasn’t a fan of the ending. Major plot holes.

  • The Social Dilemma

    The Social Dilemma

    ★½

    I felt like I was relearning facts that most everyone knows about social media, while not really feeling the action the makers probably wanted to inspire. I'd pass.

    ★★★★★

    A lot of white folks' introduction into some of the legacy laws / systems that contribute to Black oppression today. Beautiful (and chilling at times) storytelling, and I feel privileged I can consume the facts in this eloquent doc without living the reality. A must watch for everyone.

  • Seaspiracy

    Seaspiracy

    Felt like the statistics in this movie were pretty off, if you took them one level deeper. It felt like the creator was trying to create some controversy.

  • Coherence

    ★★★★½

    Amazing film for the budget! I love to grab a glass of red wine and re-watch this flick. Great thriller concept that is well-executed, and you feel like you're a part of the dinner party. Don't lose your ring...

  • Snowpiercer

    Snowpiercer

    ★★½

    Conceptually, I wasn't a fan. Always trying to find loopholes in these apocalypse movies, and this one had plenty (IMO). Too much forced symbolism, not done super well.

  • Casting JonBenet

    Casting JonBenet

    ★★★½

    Some people hated the format, but I thought the format did an amazing job capturing the uncertainty & speculation around the JonBenet case. I thought it moved pretty slowly though, hence the 3.5 stars.

  • My Octopus Teacher

    My Octopus Teacher

    ★★★★★

    One of the best things to come out of 2020. Absolutely stunning visually, and if you don't cry, I don't believe you have tear ducts! Octopuses are incredibly intelligent, and it was amazing to see the human animal bond in this movie.

  • World War Z

    World War Z

    ★★★★½

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

    I generally like zombie movies, and this one may be one of my favorites. Sound / music throughout keeps your blood pounding, and I really liked the antidote for figuring out how to deal with the zombies.

  • Train to Busan

    Train to Busan

    ★★★★

    Solid zombie horror flick. Soo-an is an adorable child lead who invokes both fear & the stubbornness of determined young lady!

  • Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

    Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

    ★★★½

    I really wanted to like this concept movie more than I did. There were some hilariously punchy moments, but I admittedly got bored with the choice selections, and happened to go down one of the longest paths to finish the movie. Mad props for the experimentation though.

  • The Platform

    The Platform

    ★★★★

    So I'm not usually one for super overt symbolism, but I really liked the platform concept to relay societal statuses / capitalism. Great concept and great execution. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, so docking a star there.
