  The Batman 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched by Joe Aragon 28 Feb 2022 12

  Believe the hype.

  The Batman is a gritty noir detective story, which immediately sets it apart from the previous iterations and the aspect that I loved the most. The grime and desolation of Gotham oozes out of each scene through its immaculate cinematography and injected into your veins through Giacchino's brilliant score. 

  Robert Pattinson's transformation into the Batman is as perfect as many imagined and by far my favorite on screen interpretation of the caped crusader. This is definitely the…

  You’ve never had a crush on anyone?
  You’ve never felt out of place or awkward? 
  You’ve never had friends you’d do anything for?
  You’ve never been bullied or teased?
  You’ve never obsessed over a musical artist?
  You’ve never gone through PUBERTY???
  
  Turning Red may not be perfect, but if your criticism is that “you can’t relate to it”, kindly exit stage left.

  Minions: The Rise of Gru 2022

  ★★★ Watched by Joe Aragon 28 Jun 2022 11

  I told myself that if Minions: Rise of Gru made me laugh, I would not be able to give this movie less than 3 stars.

  It made me laugh in the opening credits. 

  Sure the movie is at times overwhelmingly chaotic with a paper thin plot, but there’s genuine moments of hilarity that I ultimately didn’t hate my time with the movie.

  In a world where Netflix puts out Marmaduke, I happily embrace Minions: Rise of Gru.
