I watched this because I am a Sam Elliott and Karen Allen fan....and it turned out to be one of the sweetest heartwarming films I've seen in ages.

BUMBLEBEE
QUALITY = 9/10

JOY = 8/10


A good Transformers movie, this is a first. Hailee Steinfield made great career choices for 2018 releases.
Transformers designs and coloring and film lighting is a massive improvement to that garbage that came before it. Nods to the cartoon that brought people's attention to the toys and other things related to the franchise are well placed and make even non-fans happy.
 
The Beach House

Totally my kind of jam. Takes a while to get going but the second half is nonstop bleak cosmic horror. Looking forward to seeing what the director can do with a proper budget.

9/10

I watched this based on what you posted here, and while it wasn't really what I'd expected or even hoped for, I still really quite enjoyed it. I think the beach is such a great and untapped location for the horror genre. Something about the vastness and emptiness of it all.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.:up:

It's been a pretty good year for Lovecraftian ocean horror movies with this and Underwater.

KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
QUALITY = 9/10

JOY = 9/10


One thing that bothered me is the Moon King's thoughts on eyes, he wants his grandson to be as blind as he is, but his daughter has her vision. I think even the twin might have their vision.
Love this film.
 
The Old Guard (2020) :down
drama, action
actors: Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne

Confusing beginning, underwhelming dialogue scene direction, generic villain plot, weak score and soundtrack, solid action. By the end it felt like an overly long set up for another movie, guess that makes sense it's based on a comic. I liked Nile's (KiKi Layne) character but was less than enthused by the rest of them. I would have been more interested in the search for that missing female character that I won't name here which I thought might have more to do with the movie but I guess that's just going to have to wait if there's another one but I'm less excited now than I would have been before.

my scale
:up::up: = highest recommendation (rewatch)
:up: = good recommendation (rewatch)
:up::down = average/middling/mediocre (would rewatch if a friend suggested it first)
:down = below average/not recommended (no rewatch unless marathoning as part of a series)
:down:down = extremely bad/not recommended (no rewatch)
 
The new Blu-Ray of ABBOTT & COSTELLO: AFRICAN SCREAMS looks fabulous.
Loaded with bonus features.
Movie is pretty good too.
