Ready or Not

From IMDB: “A bride’s wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game.” What I Liked: The dialog in this movie is top-notch. Sharp, with a strong cadence and a biting wit. My favorite dialog of any movie this year. Some of the characters

Crawl

From IMDB: “A young woman, while attempting to save her father during a category 5 hurricane, finds herself trapped in a flooding house and must fight for her life against alligators.” What I liked: It has some of the best “atmosphere” I’ve seen in a while. This movie is set during a hurricane, and hurricanes

Once Upon a Time In…Hollywood (MINOR SPOILERS REVIEW)

Per IMDB: “A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood’s Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.” What I liked: The old movies that Leo DiCaprio’s character was awesomely placed into.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Liked: It treated outer space as if it was the ocean instead, complete with murkiness and a giant sea monster. The Empire propaganda film with Darth Vader’s Imperial March playing in the background. Lando. Lando’s droid partner L3-37. The look of the iconic Millennium Falcon and it’s evolution. Some shots and camera angles are pretty
