It is like a lot of Liman movies. It trades sense often for flash but it isn’t bad at doing it. When I think of dumb-but-fun-flicks, this is what I want. It beats sorting past 100 action hero flicks at a Redbox. Wow, Redbox. Are those still around?

A very good movie. Some casting felt obligatory but a really fun surprise of a movie.
BlacKkKlansman (2018) 3.5/5
I’m torn because I really loved some aspects but some liberties felt out of place. Starting there, I think the romance plot and the mustache twirling officer felt a bit hamfisted. To not go into spoilers, I will just say this reaches a peak at the end of the film.
That being said, the cast did wonderful and there was some really good writing. I also felt mixing in direct-life clips was handled well and that is not easy to do.
I ended up peaking the wiki page for this one after and I found a lot of the parts I had trouble with were the parts adjusted to fit a Hollywood movie. Kinda a shame because the movie is fantastic in so many ways. Obviously there was a way to do these things but as is I think they felt too from-the-script-to-the-screen. It didn’t feel natural.
Don’t let what I am saying deter you though. I feel I am being a bit picky and I will probably wish I had given another half-star later.

It was entertaining. I never had a membership and know nothing about it so I can only go off of how it was presented. It did feel like there was a little bit of padding with some of the people they talked to.
Unfrosted (2024) 1/5

I can’t find a reason to encourage anyone to watch Unfrosted. Technical movie making keeps it from escaping falling any lower, but be not deceived, the movie is dreadful.
