Making the Cut (2020)
The judges bring the show down
This is a highly produced version of Project Runway with more established designers. However, the judges (in particular Naomi Campbell and Nicole Richie) are nearly unbearable to watch. They have caddy discussions during the runway show and try to outdo each other with over-the-top insults. Campbell is unrelatable and comes across as an overconfident snob whereas Richie comes across as a wannabe. Neither of them seem competent. The other two judges seem competent but aren't featured as much as Campbell and Richie.
Although it's great to see Klum and Gunn back together and it's fun for there to be more at stake here than on Project Runway, the show is a little too boring. Hopefully it will improve with time.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Ignore the haters and the anti-haters
The movie isn't a 1 or a 10. It's somewhere in the 5-8 range. To me, I actually prefer The Last Jedi to this one, but I wasn't crazy about TLJ when I first saw it either. This whole movie felt like a stretch, like they were trying to meet a deadline and just rushed through certain parts. The best part was the humor, which Abrams also managed to get just right in The Force Awakens. Just like in The Last Jedi, this movie was full of WTF moments. Whether TLJ or this movie had more WTF moments is debatable. The good parts of the movie outweigh the bad so I give it a 6. Each time I have watched TLJ I have liked it a little more. Maybe the same will happen with this one.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)
Hard to sit through
My son and I laughed a few times but not worth the ticket price.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
I liked it, once I got past the plot
It took me about 30 minutes to get over the sloppy time travel ridiculousness and enjoy the rest of the movie. I kept thinking surely they aren't going to breeze over the impact of Infinity War with a time travel plot. It slightly pisses me off as a moviegoer...write whatever the hell you want into a script, you can always undo it later with time travel. Ugh. But otherwise, the film is a top 5 MCU production.
