Boogie Nights, 1997 - ★★½ (contains spoilers)

This review may contain spoilers.  why… IDK there were just too many questions I was left with.  Weird movie, I do not get why. Why was this made? What was the point? fun movie, just not what i expected based on the movie & PTA’s reps. Very weird movie. I just feel like even a tiny little moment of introspection from Amber Waves where she ponders how she can call a boy her son while having sex and doing coke with him could have been beneficial. Throughout the movie, there were multiple moments where if characters just questioned themselves for a tiny second, there would be a better impact. Instead, the movie seems vapid. It was fun, sure, but to not address all the mess that happened in it is so weird to me. And some things, Idk their relevance at all. Betty Barnett, useless character. Why do we care about her husband, Raymond? I did like how Amber Waves was becoming a director, I feel like that could have also been addressed. Basically, I hate how the movie glosses over a lot of t

Peacock's Bust Down

Let me start off by sending my love to Jak Knight, and his family. I was Googling the show to get the summary for this article and found out he passed. I was absolutely shocked. He was a great comedian. He passed at 28 years old. Jak Knight created Bust Down and played Jak. He was executive story director and wrote one episode for abc's black-ish season 6, which aired from 2019 to 2020. He also has multiple credits for Netflix's Big Mouth. He voiced DeVon, was story editor for season 2, and a staff writer for season 1. He wrote 3 episodes between 2019 and 2021. Now, I just listed the credits that I think my readers would know of, but there's more. He has quite an interesting career, especially considering his young age. Here is his IMDb page. Thank you, Jak Knight, for your entertaining contributions to the world. Rest in Peace. Recently (July 6), I watched the Peacock sitcom Bust Down. I heard about it a little bit before it came out, from Zack Fox's Instagram. I thou

Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022 - ★★★

Underwhelming as a sequel to ragnarok, but okay if we detach it from that. Loved the rock/heavy metal inspiration! The final battle was super awesome, the kids were def the stars. Mr Axl Heimdallson you are a star! Overall meh/average movie but good for transition purposes and it was funny. - Letterboxd http://dlvr.it/STqthK

Stranger Things Update

Hello! Quick Update: I watched the second half of Stranger Things Season 4, and will be commenting on it soon. For now, let me just say I was very underwhelmed. 😒 I think how I'll format it is address my comments on the first half, then add on new thoughts about Season 4: Volume 2, as well as Season 5.

Elvis, 2022 - ★★★★★

Baz Luhrmann, you are my guy 4L. What an awesome movie. I'm sickened by the level of greatness that movie possessed. But I mean, who can be surprised? This was a Baz Luhrmann film after all. Austin Butler put his SOUL into his performance as Elvis Presley. What a beautiful film. Super duper kudos to the whole cast and crew. And I give a special shoutout to makeup as well as the editing crew. They did their thing! I know some will have complaints about the extravagance of the film, but 1) it's about Elvis, what did you expect? and 2) It's a Baz Luhrmann film, what did you expect? Baz Luhrmann was the perfect guy to make an Elvis movie, he completely gets how to put on a show, just like EP himself. - Letterboxd http://dlvr.it/STHvDQ
