Yeah, I can't recommend this movie unless you really want to watch a psychological introspective of people looking for reasons to survive or not after all hope is lost. And I just made the movie sound far more interesting than it really is.
I do give props to Epps for being able to pull off realistic looking facial tics. I have absolutely no idea how I would go about trying to duplicate that.

I just rewatched that a month or so ago and it definitely still holds up. It suffers a little bit from tone whiplash as it is both very funny and very dark at times but I think it really pulls it off. If you've never seen Emperor of the North I would recommend that one to you.
Lee Marvin is just so good.

Just finished this and 5/10 is about as good as I’d give it also. Parts of it just don’t work and I really wanted to like it. But at the end it is just not good.

Midsommar - Sweden looks fun. 8/10
Joker - Phoenix was insane, cringed through most of the movie. 8/10
Knives Out - Nothing special, but solid enough? 6.5/10
End Game - that's about it for superhero movies for me. 6.5/10
Detective Pikachu - Loved this movie, hit all the funny goofy spots. 7/10

Better Watch Out - Christmas "horror" that starts off reminiscent of Scream and the like, takes a pretty cool turn halfway through. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. No nudity, should have been. 7/10
Good Boys - Decent little story of three sixth graders trying to fit in with the cool crowd. Only rated R for the language (was hoping for some older girl titties), but considering 3 child actors were the focus of the movie, it was actually pretty good. Nothing ground-breaking, but a decent watch to see them get stuff totally wrong (like saying they would blowjob a girl so hard, because they have no idea what an actual blowjob is, but know it is somehow related to sex). 7/10

Just saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire. It's a french film that was released around here 4 months ago and that will be released in the US in a month or so. The genius of the film is that anyone who saw its trailer or heard its pitch (18th century woman painter goes to a remote island where she has to befriend a reluctant bride to be to secretly paint her wedding portrait) know exactly how it will play out - and it does play out as expected - yet the film still manages to surprise and impress at every turn. Masterful.

The Shape of Water.
For all the buzz and Del Toro attachment, it fucking sucked in my opinion. I am a fan of Michael Shannon and Richard Jenkins but even they could not support this slow, boring, plodding movie. The cinematography, the mood, the setting, it was all pretty great, but the story was just too blah and the whole relationship between fish man and mute lady was meh. Maybe my empathy was low so I just couldn't get the feels but I would not recommend it. The characters aside from the two leads were really cookie-cutter stereotypes too - violent security guard, sassy black lady, ass kissing corporate climber, arrogant general, gay neighbor.

Good Boys - 4/10, nothing here. Dick jokes weren’t really funny, kids weren’t that funny, it even failed at being shockingly offensive.
Angel Has Fallen - 6/10, not great but mildly entertaining background noise. I enjoyed Olympus and London much more. Feels a little (okay a lot) drug out at this point. The behind the scenes and making of were actually kind of interesting. Seems like they really had a good time filming the thing. Too bad it just didn’t translate to the movie.
Zombieland: Double Tap - 6/10, not as fun as the first. Was pretty drunk at this point though and honestly can’t even remember how it ended. Most of the first 75% I remember. Emma Stone almost immediately makes this a 9/10 movie, but alas...
Streamed something I can’t remember in between Good Boys and Zombieland but damned if I remember. Will have to check at the house.

Romeo is bleeding- 8/10. It's a great noir style film. Gary Oldman and Lena Olin are at the top of their games. Just a great film.
