The Disaster Artist - 8/10

Really good movie, nicely paced with a lot of heart. Tommy must have been an absolute PITA to work with, yet the movie somehow manages to make him rather sympathetic. His relationship with Greg was super weird, though. I don't blame Greg's mom for not wanting him to move in with Tommy.

I'd read that Dave Franco was the weak link but I thought he was fine. And even though his beard was supposed to look cheap it looked all right to me and Denny's hair was worse.

ETA: I didn't entirely buy the ending, I mean the part where the cast was excited on premiere night wanting to see how the film turned out. I'm sure the real cast and crew - outside of Tommy - knew that they had a dud on their hands.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
Quality = 8.5/10
Joy = 10/10​

It's like the Dark Knight Rises of this trilogy, a very good third installment, but quite disappointing as a successor for two great ones.

Spoiler

That colonel wanted the wall built by the virus carrying apes he was terrified of. Rogue apes moved from siding with the ape who was killed for wanting to kill humans to siding with the humans they wanted dead.

The little girl kinda reminds me of Newt from Aliens, that to me is a good thing.

Maybe the crew of the Room wanted to look the part to make sure they get their paycheck.

Rewatched Avatar-same overall reaction, underwhelmed, but more perplexed that it was so popular.

Natty, fancy SFX whilst being a souless husk of a story impress some people, over and over again.

I felt pretty much the same. I admired it on the technical side but other than that it didn't really impress me.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

 

[fancyarcher]

Coming to America - 7.5 / 10

 

[Hunter Rider]

A mediocre action film with a muddled plot, disjointed structure, unlikable characters and a couple of decent sequences, not a patch on the John Wick movies. 5/10

 

[childeroland]

The Florida Project

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

John Wick: Chapter 2

 

[Hunter Rider]

Even sillier than the first film and without a villain as cool as the blade legged assassin. Julianne Moore does her best but is wasted and the film is overlong, but it does have 3 pretty good action sequences. 6/10

I, Tonya - 8.5/10

Darkly funny, briskly paced, and brilliantly acted. Allison Janney is especially excellent in her thoroughly unlikable role.

The movie did a good job making it clear that Tonya was both a victim and a perpetuator of her own victimhood, e.g. the way she kept returning to Jeff.

The one part that confused me was the movie's admission that Tonya had written down Nancy's practice schedule - thereby negating her innocence - while continuing to portray her as having had no foreknowledge of the crime. It's a testament to Robbie's skill that I still pitied Tonya in the courthouse scene.

Alien: Covenant

 

[Ash J. Williams]

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's an easy watch with plenty of eye candy for everyone and some fun moments. 6/10




A run of the mill action movie built around the loud chemistry between Snipes and Harrelson, I gave it an extra half point for JLo. 5.5/10

Mudbound - 8 / 10. My first film of 2018.
