Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit 1993
It’s not flawless - the first 36 minutes feel aimless, with reunions, cheap jokes, and low-stakes complications. It feels like it’s shaping up to be another lazy sequel.
BUT THEN Sister Mary Clarence hears that the school’s fate is in jeopardy, and she walks into her classroom and throws down the gauntlet with her iconic “This is a brand new day” speech. It’s a watershed moment in the film. It is impossible to overstate the implications of what Sister…

Georgetown 2019
Christoph Waltz is so annoying to watch but I was intrigued since this is set in DC. As a director, he’s not too bad here. The plot is intriguing as you’re wondering what it’s all building towards, but the ending is underwhelming and predictable. None of the characters are very sympathetic, except for Annette Benning, perhaps as the step-daughter. There’s just not a lot of substance or detail here, overall, the marketing really oversells the plot.

I'm Your Woman 2020
Wasn’t sure what to expect from this but it was an enjoyable ride. Has a vintage 70s look and feel and a great soundtrack. Rachel Brosnahan is a strong lead and the rest of the small cast are all pretty great. There’s nothing here that really knocks your socks off but it’s fine and interesting enough to see a gangster film through the perspective of a single mom who’s swept up in this violent world and left to navigate it largely on her own.

The Banshees of Inisherin 2022
Pádraic: It takes two to tango.
Colm: But I don’t want to tango.
Pádraic [in a tragically desperate whisper]: You were dancing with your dog!Beautiful to look at and well-cast. Often funny and heartbreaking. Colin Farrell is outstanding. Quite heavy overall, and I wasn’t satisfied by the ending.
