Liked this even more on rewatch. Elaine May's acidic romantic comedy drapes the misogyny of its men in warm and fuzzy iconography and sweet, funny archetypes, leading to an ending that has few nice things to say about its leading man.

one of those movies where i vacillated wildly between "HOLY SHIT WHAT A DUMB MOVIE!!!" and "holy SHIT what a dumb movie" throughout

the only thing that has aged about this story is that it's about newspapers. now instead we have many more fun and exciting ways to distort the truth and profit from people's misery

The Kill Bill movies are ones that I have not revisited in years so it was a lot of fun to see this in the intended format. 4.5 hours and every scene fuckin' HITS.

I like this portrait of a motorcycle club that reflects the turbulent times of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The three leads are great, but Jodie Comer is especially good as a normal woman who gets attracted to this danger.

Good, hard-hitting action, but the plot gets in the way a bit too much for me.

Biopics aren't typically for me, but Rudy Ray Moore is such an outrageous character that this feels more like Bowfinger than a typical biopic. Fun from start to finish, both Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes are great.

Solid crime thriller starring Aubrey Plaza as a food service worker in debt who joins a credit card fraud ring. I like that the movie doesn't feel the need to make you root for her and shows her with no moral judgment.

Definitely regretting not seeing this in theaters earlier this year. Irreverent, strange, and deeply silly in such a fun and hilarious. Hits that sweet spot of feeling like it came from a kid's mind but with thought and care.

Kept going back and forth on this, but once it commits fully to the nastier, more macabre side of the story (but still with a twinge of dark romance) in the final third I was move into it.

Fun story, lots of cute gags and laugh out loud moments, basically everything you would expect from a Wallace & Gromit cartoon. I love how creepy the gnomes are lol
