The Meg (2018)
It was ok
This movie gets an automatic 3 stars just for being centered around a shark. The other two come from the spattering of decent jump scares and the daughter of Suyin's unpredictable comments. However, that still leaves fifty percent of the stars missing. Those 5 leftover stars were trashed as soon as Rainn Wilson strutted out in his repulsive, hipster outfit, seemingly attempting to turn a 52 year old actor that wasn't fit for this type of movie into a younger billionaire meant for comic relief. Then add on the rest of the subpar acting, predictable moments, pointless romance, 30 minute bore-fest about a cloud that they used to think was the bottom of the ocean (some background just isn't necessary), and lengthy runtime, and you've got a subtraction of five stars. This film wasn't decent enough to be grouped with "The Shallows", but it wasn't bad enough to be put with the "Sharknado" franchise. People find enjoyment in both of those movies for different reasons. "The Shallows" offers a fantastic one-woman performance keeping you on your toes the whole time. The camera work was amazing and the acting, even better. The "Sharknado" movies are just so poorly made and executed they're laughable. As I said, each movie is liked for a different reason, but, nonetheless, they're appreciated by many. "The Meg" sits right in the center of this scale of shark movies, which makes it subject to mediocracy. That's the worst category a movie can fall in, but that's where "The Meg" stands. I hate to see another shark movie go to waste, but this was almost as big of a let-down to shark lovers as "Shark Week 2017", when Michael Phelps didn't actually race the great white shark head on in the ocean. My five stars is generous, but I'm willing to give them for the Megalodon.

Andi Mack
Andi Mack is what is wrong with society. It is an abomination to Disney and has caused their ratings to plummet. The series is highly innapropriate and should not be televised on a channel meant for older children. Parents shouldn't want their children watching this show, because there are way too many unanswered questions right at the surface just waiting to be asked. It brings up topics that are beyond the years of the majority of the viewers. That's not a shows place to do.
I Feel Pretty (2018)
The ratings confuse me..
I'm concerned as to why the ratings for this movie are 3.7. Granted, they were at 2.2 on Friday, so they've gone up since, but still. When I watched the movie it wasn't the greatest of all time, but it was a good movie with a powerful message that needed to be heard. This was the most real movie I've seen in a while and it was refreshing. I went in thinking 'I Feel Pretty' was going to be sheer comedy after watching the trailer, because that's how it was advertised. It had some laughable parts, but the sole focus of the film was not on humor, but on self love and the balance of it. What I mean by this is the movie started out with Amy Schumer being this timid, insecure woman who was afraid to live large. After she hit her head she thought she was someone else and started acting like it. At first it was a good thing, because her confidence was way up. But as this facade went on she began to get more conceited than confident. When she figured out she was the same woman the whole time she realized that it doesn't matter what you look like. You can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it and have some confidence. She figured out the balance of loving yourself. The beginning of the movie was at rock bottom of her self love, the middle was when she was at an unforeseen pinnacle of narcissism, and at the end she was content and confident with herself. I thought this movie carried a lot of weight and should be seen by every single woman in America.
