    This is absolutely one of my favorite movies this year. I loved this thing to bits, with all its slackerness, just spending some time hanging out with these characters. Killer soundtrack too. Thank you, Richard Linklater, for continuing to make movies like this. They make me very happy.

  • Star Trek Beyond

    Well, this was pretty damn good. Much better than the second one, which I know isn’t saying a whole lot since most people find Into Darkness to be pretty disappointing, but yeah, it’s a really fun flick that feels more like the fun we had with the first movie. I also quite liked the way…

    I thought this was a pretty fun movie. The absolute star of the show for me is Kate McKinnon – pretty much any scene that focuses on her is great and weird and funny (and her action sequence towards the end with the ecto guns is actually really cool to watch). Chris Hemsworth was also…

    I’m going to go against the grain and say that I actually quite enjoyed watching Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. My friend James didn’t like it much, as he wrote in this review, and although I can’t fault a lot of the points he brings up, I was dazzled by the visuals. The action sequences are…

    Today I watched a pretty fun film from 2014 called Samurai Hustle (also known in English as Mission Impossible: Samurai). It’s a jidaigeki (period drama) comedy about a daimyo who is called on to return to Edo to see the shogun until difficult circumstances. My wife watched it a few days ago, and wanted to…

    Can’t say that I liked this much. I’m not a huge fan of the X-Men movies in general, but I thought First Class was pretty entertaining. This just felt uninteresting to me, with Apocalypse not doing much until the end, and same goes with his Horsemen. I think the worst thing for me though is…

    I love the Lonely Island crew, always loved the SNL Digital Shorts they made, and even though they’re usually uneven, I like their movies too. Watched Popstar a few nights ago, and what I can say, I thought it was fucking hilarious. Laughed quite a bit throughout, and just overall thought it was a hell…

    As I wrote yesterday on my personal blog, I’ve just discovered Makoto Shinkai, and started my viewing of his works with this film, which is made up of three interlocking chapters. The story of young love didn’t really grab me, but what did grab me was the stunningly beautiful animated world we’re presented with, both…

    I wasn’t expecting to really like this – I didn’t like Age of Ultron, and everything I saw in the trailers for it made it look so drab – but hey, I enjoyed it. But it does look drab (in terms of art direction). I mostly liked the fight scenes, especially the big one (in…
