A Quiet Place Part II 2020

★★★½ Watched by Joel 🍍 01 Jun 2021

I found this to be slightly better than the first film. If you are a fan of Emily Blunt, I would say she takes more of a back seat in this outing in order for Millicent Simmonds to step up to the plate. The tension was well done and the pacing was good. Like the first one if you scrutinize the script you can find some plotholes like the newspapers in the first film for example, but if you’re not…
Mortal Kombat 2021

Enjoyable enough but definitely could’ve avoided a lot of problems with better casting for starters.

The Valet 2022

★★★½ Watched by Joel 🍍 17 May 2022

While this doesn’t reinvent the wheel I had a good time. Derbez is funny like always and Carmen Salinas is hilarious in her final acting role R.I.P. Definitely worth watching if you need a laugh and to see some representation for migrant workers in this country.
Glengarry Glen Ross 1992

★★★½ Watched by Joel 🍍 11 Apr 2022

Hiring Alan Arkin to just say: “Yes.” “What?” “Who?” “How?” etc. while Ed Harris rants a mile a minute was a choice.

Quentin: In the next shot she puts her foot in my mouth and pours whiskey down her leg... ah haha.. just kidding... unless...?
On the Silver Globe 1988

★ Watched by Joel 🍍 20 May 2020 1

Watching this is an extremely jarring experience, the setup and costume designs are intriguing but the constant nonsense monologues and wide eyed close up screaming breakdowns get old really fast. Borderline unwatchable, the found footage/handheld shaky camera work is the cherry on top. There are cool visuals scattered throughout though.
