Dick

Rating: 4 of 5 Dicks
A 1999 comedy about 2 teenagers who end up walking Nixon’s dog. Very cute, fun soundtrack, and so many actors who later made it big. It’s silly, and gets sillier, but with politics, pandemic, and my state burning up, I needed something very light.

Hereditary

Just watched Hereditary with Toni Collette and Gabriel Byrne. Holy fucking duckballs. Scared the crap out of both of us. Totally unexpected, nothing went as you expected, absolutely terrifying, and wrapped it all up so by the end you actually understood the whole story. But, fuck, save something funny to “wind down” after this. Scariest original flick I’ve seen since Us. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

The Lodge

Rating: 3/4 Cabins in the woods Summary: A good atmospheric horror flick. A couple unnecessary audio shockers, and unsympathetic character development bring it down a notch.

Doctor Sleep

Rating: 5 of 5 axes
Holy crap. 2-1/2 hours of tension. I’m exhausted. Loved it.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

Rating: 3/4 blunts Watched the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot last night. About what I expected. Fun cast, uneven story. Definitely a film for the fans. I give it 3 blunts. One whole blunt because Jason Mewes has gone through a lot of hard times.

The Good Liar

Rating: 4 / 4 Nazis hunters
Damn. Best movie I think I’ve seen this year. I knew nothing about it, except the legend (wait for it…) ary actors, which was perfect.

Knives Out

Rating: None, didn’t make it though We tried Knives Out. It just never caught our fancy. After an hour, we gave up. Was good to see so many of our favorite actors though.

It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Rating: 3/4 Lady Aberlains
Excellent. Especially because it wasn’t just another Fred Rodgers retelling, we have a great one of those already. It’s more about how Fred’s very nature of caring, facing even really hard issues as part of life, with an open heart and mind, could deeply effect others in a positive way. BTW, the Lady Aberlain rating is because I had a serious crush on her on as a kid.

Star Wars, Episode III

Rating: 3 of 5 lightsabers
OK, I’ll admit it. I’m a total geek and a moderately big sci-fi fan. Used to be a mega-big sci-fi fan late in high school days. My “first” Star Wars movie was Empire Stikes back. I was certainly old enough to see Star Wars when it came out, but couldn’t imagine anyone lining up to see a movie. Sure, it got some good reviews, but “space opera” didn’t do it for me, nor did the folks wearing “May the force be with you” buttons at school.
