Movies

Watched Weird: The Al Yankovic Story tonight and was pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. I mean I thought it would be a light, fun watch, but it was a lot better than that. Just consistently funny and silly and over the top. It reminds me of movies like Hot Rod or Popstar in a way, where the whole point is to just throw out jokes in every scene. Also there are tons of great cameos. Kind of a shame it’s on the Roku channel…a channel I barely knew existed.

We watched it tonight too. With all the hype behind it, I'm surprised they didn't give it a theatrical run.
 
I need to talk to someone about The Night House. Hard to think of another movie I’ve seen in recent years that goes off the rails as hard as this one does in the last 30 minutes.
Just watched this one. My only takeaway is that The Calvary Cross absolutely rips. I could never get into that album but something about a song featured in a movie just makes it click sometimes.

Same. Really enjoyed it. The Beat It v Eat It bit truly cracked me up
 
I thought that this was going to be a weaker movie year, but the last few weeks there’s been some great releases. Triangle of Sadness, Banshees, Tar and Decision to Leave were all fantastic. I also just saw RRR and that was an ABSOLUTE blast. Still 5-10 movies coming out I can’t wait to see, but It’s a great time to be a fan of movies
 
Watched a few things this weekend. Tucker & Dale was great! Absolutely hilarious - i can't say I've ever laughed at someone jumping into a woodchipper before but there it is. I liked how they took the narrative where people are really stupid in horror movies and do things that will get them killed and ran wild with it.

Enola Holmes 2 was cute. I thought it was fun and better than the first. I kinda remember the first dragging a bit but this one has better pacing.

Continuing on the British detective murder mystery theme, I also saw "See how they run". It was pretty decent. Whoever made this seems like he watched a lot of Wes Anderson. Down to the framing and quirky humor style. Also Saoirse Ronans in it! And she was great

Thanks for the reminder - I think I'll watch this after White Lotus tonight.

I’ve found both Cartoon Saloon pictures I’ve seen to be slow to get into, but by the end I’m always totally enchanted. Need to watch Wolfwalkers.
