WandaVision (2021)
Wonderful
It depends on your sense of humor, but as a dude in his 20s I was laughing the whole time and I hate shows like Friends. It's that absurd, bizarre mix of MCU and 50s sitcoms with wonderful performances that makes it the most daring and entertaining Marvel piece I've seen since Infinity War.
I can't wait to see where this goes. If you're looking for action, go rewatch Endgame -- if youre can looking for something fresh and original with a hint of sci-fi and mystery, watch this. I'm having a blast.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dee Day (2019)
Amazing
Classic Sunny. One of the best episodes in recent years.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
A Fairytale only Tarantino Could Make
Wonderful, thrilling film. This is what should have happened but didn't happen. I left the theater in a trance, knowing what really went down. This is Quentin's fantasy of a Hollywood that wasn't plagued by Manson. Though all performances are great, Brad Pitt an all-star as a problematic man who may or may not have killed his wife. And Leonardo DiCaprio is perfect as a depressed TV star. The real MVP is the pitbull Brandy -- best dog actor I have ever seen.
Booksmart (2019)
Best Teen Comedy Since Superbad
Yes, it is the female Superbad for this generation. But that a bad thing? In this case, absolutely not. Wonderfully done; hilarious, and yes it is over-the-top, and at many times, unbelievable, but the chemistry and energy makes it all worth it. Heartfelt, with many great one liners and gags. If you like raunchy comedies, then this one is a winner. Definitely seeing it twice. One of my favorite comedies. Olivia Wilde killed it in her directorial debut.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
Perfection
One of the most powerful episodes of television I've ever watched. This is what fimmaking looks like. Goddamn plenty of characters die but what do you expect it's Game of Thrones. Thank you to the showrunners for writing one of the most memorable episodes of any TV I've ever watched.
Evil Dead (2013)
One of the best horror movies in a long time
I attended a premiere tonight here in Austin, TX for a film I've been anticipating for a long time. Normally I despise remakes (excpetion: 2011's The Thing,) but Evil Dead, this 2013 version directed and co-written by Fede Alvarez and with Sam Rami and Bruce Campbell as two of the film's producers, blew my mind. Now it not on a par with the original, and it is definitely not "the most terrifying film you will ever experience," but damn... still, it was, with out a doubt, the scariest movie I have seen in a long time. And I watch a LOT of horror movies. Pop-up after pop-up and twist after twist, it is absolutely relentless.
Despite its brilliance, as with any film there are flaws. The opening scene doesn't do the rest of the movie justice, I don't know to me it didn't seem to fit in too well. And some of the dialogue is slightly cheesy. However, those bits of cheesiness are made up for with surprising performances from all of the cast. But overall, it is fantastic. Once it gets going, it doesn't slow down. On the contrary, it only seems to pick up. As a film buff, one thing that I found awesome was the absence of CGI. In fact, all the effects are man-done, going old school with it. I had never heard of Fede Alvarez until today, but he is an impressive director and I have high expectations for him. Evil Dead does not disappoint, and has plenty of homage to the original trilogy (Evil Dead fans prepare to get ready!. A must-see film; just remember, it's NOT the original. "It's not a remake; it's a rebirth." He couldn't be more right.
