John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Visually beautiful, overall boring
Basically what my title says. The film is beautifully shot like the previous in the franchise but it was a slog to get through. The fight scenes early on got my attention but as it continued it just felt forced and that it was relying on purely the scenery to keep the viewer's attention.
Sigh... I'm quite disappointed as I had found the previous installments quite entertaining and as someone who doesn't often fancy the action genre anymore it was nice to be able to sit back and tune in and enjoy a movie that could turn off my brain for a while. But this one, I found myself finding reasons to pause and do other chores throughout.
Pose (2018)
This show makes me want to be a better person
I just finished watching the series two nights ago. It is the most emotionally impactful show I have ever watched and possibly the most emotionally impactful piece of media I've consumed in my life to this point. When I finished the series I could hear Blanca in my head, inspiring me to be a better person.
As a transwoman, seeing a show that featured so many and focused on telling the stories of queer BIPOC people, the AIDs epidemic, and just our fight to exist... this show is so important to remind us that in the face of so much resistance and hate we must stand up for ourselves and our queer siblings and be there for each other. I don't know where I am going with this. I spent two hours bawling my eyes out watching the final two episodes on Monday and I am still processing this.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
I almost rated 10, then I realized it was not a comedy...
I watched the movie last night and was thoroughly impressed, I got what I wanted. It did not have much of a good plot, but what it lacked in plot was made up by the terrible dialogue, acting, cinematography, and visual effects which all together made a pretty funny movie. I must say New Moon was my favorite for comedic value but this one is a close second. To go along with the cheesy lines was the bad music played all to loud at certain scenes which made it even more corny and funny. I must give Kristen Stewart credit, she did not bite her lip as much but she is still not believable as an actress. You would think that since she and Robert Pattinson are dating that she could muster up some emotion in her face when he asked her to marry him, but of course she failed at that too. So my conclusion is that if you want to watch a quality movie with plot and acting don't watch the Twilight series; but if you want B quality movies and some good humor and fun times to make fun of your friends this movie is made for that. So take this advice or leave it but you have been warned.
