  Top Gun: Maverick 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched by Kimball Gardner 20 Jul 2022

  At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, it's been a real long time since I've seen anything like this. Such a blast filled with so much heart. And it looks and sounds so much better than most other blockbusters. Really glad we caught this in the theater before it left!

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched by Kimball Gardner 22 Apr 2022

  I don't even know what to say but the sheer amount of work that went into this is as mind-boggling as the story. Brilliant.

  But man, the laughable, unrealistic dialogue and a lot of stiff acting and delivery just killed this for me. Not to mention the off-putting camera angles and film editing. Not a fan.

  And Clayton's motive was suuuuuch a reach.

  Black Widow 2021

  ★★½ Watched by Kimball Gardner 08 Jul 2021 2

  Basically a Jason Bourne movie if they cracked jokes every five minutes. I don't know, I don't mind some humor, but it started feeling forced and kind of distracting to me. Still, some cool action scenes, really vivid visuals, and great performances from Florence and Scarlett make it a fun watch. One that should have happened a long time ago.

  I wanted a bit more Taskmaster, and the main villain, as has been pointed out, wasn't all that interesting. There…
