Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 8/10

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It felt much more like a videogame than the first one. I especially loved the maze section and the final battle. Gave me classic Sonic level/boss vibes. Also, I loved the dance scene in Siberia. I thought they would copy the bar fight from the first movie at first, so I'm glad this one went in a different direction. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles have great chemistry and Jim Carrey had one of his best performances yet. The wedding sublot is also good for some laughs.

Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - 9/10

Really really liked everything about this movie. Being a horror fan, I loved its vibes so much and did not expect it to have these vibes going in. It's not too scary, but it could qualify being a slasher film, honestly. It has the best executed jump scare I have seen in a really long time, simply because you do not expect it at all and I think that is the key to a proper jump scare scene. Movies tend to pepper atmosphere that blatantly gives away a jump scare, I feel like the majority of them I knew would be happening like 2 minutes before they occur from those cues. The jump scare in this film didn't do that, it happens out of nowhere, and it works. Granted I didn't freak out like others in the theater, I was just like, wow, that was really cool!

Top Gun: Maverick 8/10.

I really liked it, there were moments that were pretty cheesy but that's alright. I admit I didn't watch the original movie so I had to ask a few questions about the characters.

Your Name 10/10

THIS. FLIPPING. MOVIIIIE. I just finished watching it in English. I thought having a week intermission would make it less emotional but NOPEEEEEE. I was sobbing so hard during class I think I still am lol. This movie is so good. I love the characters, the story is great and it just keeps RIPPING AT YOUR SOUL but in the best way possible. Would definately reccomend.

Some of the most beautiful animation ever plus the body swapping and time travel are done perfectly. Definitely one of the best anime movies ever.

The next Makoto Shinkai movie will be showing in theaters internationally in early 2023 if you're interested in seeing it when it debuts.

Only Yesterday

9/10

A recommendation to my by @Pen after I told him I was going to start watching the Studio Ghibli films. It just resonated with me. It touches on being nostalgic of the past, as well as its regrets, and how those memories can come into focus so vividly, as if it was only yesterday. There is a lot of time spent in the film dealing with Taeko's (the main character's) past, and how she is using those memories of this key point of her life to navigate what she is going to do with the rest of her life, now that she is an adult. Follow the passions of her youth to be a farmer, which she loves doing, or keep her office job that she isn't passionate about.

It's really a remarkable journey, and Taeko is easily likeable, I was pulled in and invested so easily. The character interactions are great, and the ending was fantastic, I almost cried lol.

I think if I watched this movie any other point in my life previously the message would have been lost on me. Also a weird coincidence is that this year I'll be 27, and Taeko is 27 in the film during the present day portion.

What a coincidence I too watched that also, the only thing I would add is that it needed more Kenny Loggins, that and as an avid Aviation Enthusiast, since when did the Russian Air Force get the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, In actuality The Russian Air Force only flies Russian built aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-57 (Which was the 5th Generation fighter) Not to mention they used the wrong NATO reporting name. In real life the Su-57's reporting name is the "Felon" not the "Bandit" which I might add there isn't an aircraft by that reporting name.

Sonic the Hedgehog - 10/10
Fun little movie. By far my largest involvement with anything Sonic, so I'm sure I missed a lot of references (Although I did catch the Sanic) but I still got a lot out of it. The pacing was great, there wasn't anything that felt like filler. The scene on top of the skyscraper was a bit frustrating because it was super obvious what was about to happen, but I knew that going to the mushroom planet wasn't the best outcome, so overall it's not a huge issue. I was smiling pretty much the whole time, either from laughing or just because it had pretty wholesome moements as well.

The brawl at the bar has to be my favorite part because of how wacky it is, but I think the movie as a whole is utterly fantastic, and you summed it up well. I'm curious what you'll think of the sequel once you watch it.

The Matrix Resurrections 9/10

I was initially very excited for the matrix sequel as they are in my top films of all time but the mixed reception of this one put me off going to see it in cinemas. I know now that I wouldn't have been disappointed going to see this on the big screen and kind of wish that I had.

I think it's genius at times as it is essentially an unnecessary sequel about unnecessary sequels and the fact that it acknowledges this throughout its just done very well.

As a standalone film i don't think i would have such a high opinion of it but if you have seen and love the original trilogy then I absolutely reccomend it.

Casino Royale (1967)
I honestly have no idea where to begin with this one.

So this was one of 2 James Bond movies that weren’t made by EON Productions, mainly because of some legal shenanigans. I’d seen the other one, Never Say Never Again, and while it’s easily the worst of Sean Connerys Bond, it still treated itself like a Bond movie. Saying that Casino Royale doesn’t feel like a Bond movie is an understatement. Saying that it doesn’t feel like a movie is an understatement.

Casino Royale isnt a James Bond movie. Its 2 separate Austin Powers movies, but only if the script was shuffled around, stapled together, and produced by Monty Python an entire 2 years before they were founded. There is no plot, or rather there seem to be an anthology of completely meaningless plots, loosely connected by a thin string of a half-commentary on the bad guys being sexless perverts and the good guys being not sexless, but still perverts. Things just happen, and while the first half or so could reasonably pass as a Bond movie, albeit an unorthodox one, anything that happens after that will be any first time viewers guess.

This is generally considered the absolute bottom of the barrel of James Bond-related movies, commonly cited as being even worse than Die Another Day, Spectre, A View to a Kill, the movies that are generally considered by the fanbase to be the “worst” James Bond movies, and by the metric of “Is this a good James Bond movie” then yes, I agree. This is easily the worst “James Bond” movie.

But I felt alive watching it.

The last 20 minutes alone are the hardest that I have laughed from watching a movie in my entire life. Its the kind of laughter that you’re fighting just so you can have enough time between each exhale to beg your friend to pause the movie so you can catch your breath. Maybe some of that is just because I went in expecting a somewhat competent James Bond movie and got something completely different, but who knows?

Everyone compares this movie to the Daniel Craig variant, and I can absolutely see why. The plot is actually possible to follow. Its characters, music, special effects, even the humor actually follow a set tone. It completely revitalized the franchise after the critical and financial disaster that was Die Another Day. That being said, I despise Casino Royale 2006. Its action scenes were dull, everyone involved took the movie far too seriously, and the movie cut all of its tension halfway through it only to try to regain it with 10 minutes left. It’s quite easily one of my least favorite James Bond movies, if not my absolute least favorite.

Casino Royale 2006 bored me to death. The only time Casino Royale 1967 killed me is when I drowned in my own tears of laughter. 2006 may be a better “Bond” movie, but I will sooner rewatch 1967, as it is a far more entertaining and memorable piece of Bond, and even cinematic, history.

I cannot do this movie justice through words alone. It is the ultimate spy movie spoof. If youve seen at least one normal Bond movie, I implore you to watch this. Worst case scenario, you now have some better frame of reference when talking about the franchise. Realistically, this is a 1/10, if even that. But this was such an enjoyable movie that I’m gonna give it a 10/10.

Everything Everywhere All At Once 8/10

An excellent multiverse movie. I liked the plot twist of who the villain was, even if I saw it coming. Some well choreographed and hilarious fights as well. The ending has a lot of heart. My main complaints are that it felt too long and some of the universes felt a little too weird (hot dog fingers, anyone?).
 
Two in one as I watched the original Top Gun on Prime Video the other night before watching Top Gun Maverick in the theater today.

Top Gun - 7/10

A solid movie with a great soundtrack and some very good action and drama in the last 45 or so minutes, but it's a little slow at times. Also, it felt like the technology wasn't quite there yet for the filming.

Top Gun Maverick - 10/10

One of the best action movies I've ever watched. I loved the homage to the original at the start. Then, it's nonstop action and some good character drama. The training sequences are intense and the actual mission at the end is even more intense. Fantastic and heartfelt ending. It got me a bit teary eyed.
 
Jurassic World: Dominion - 5/10

The nostalgic callbacks to the cast from the first Jurassic Park were great. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs are underutilized (though exciting when they appear) and the human on human combat feels cheap and the dialogue in this movie is very poorly written.
