Beau Is Afraid (2023)

Groundbreaking

[9/10 · 19 April 2023]

I definitely have to let this one sit with me for a little, so my rating may slightly move around this week.

I'll just be honest. There are no words to describe the immensity of Ari Aster's scope in Beau Is Afraid. The only way I can describe at the moment is this: It's as if Aster had a dream, woke up, somehow remembered it all, and again somehow, made it into a movie.

This was a lot for a Tuesday, but the 45 minute drive and $25 seating was totally worth it. Even with almost having a panic attack trying to find parking. Worth it.

Also, there's one scene (that's really more of an act) that when it ended, I had to pick my jaw up off the popcorn tattered floor. Not only because of what it meant for the film, but what it will mean for cinema and its future. Without giving spoilers, I'll say that it perfectly blends realities of animation, stop motion, and much more, into a truly extraordinary moment.

Family Guy: Blue Harvest (2007) Season 6, Episode 1

THE PINNACLE OF TELEVISION

[10/10 · 29 November 2022]

Words cannot do this episode proper justice, but I will try. Family Guy surprises me with every episode because of how much effort they put in to it, yet this episode goes above and beyond. While still showing respect to the amazing saga, the show pulls off a perfect parody of Star Wars. Bringing in the London symphony orchestra, they allow the original soundtrack to work its magic. Many of the explosion effects remain the same to the movies.

On top of all the extraordinary effort, they still find away to fit in top shelf comedy. My abs were sore as the credits rolled. The couch sequence, the one liners, the jokes about the plot holes... oh my goodness!

Barbarian (2022)

H O L Y

[10/10 · 9 September 2022]

I can't even find the words to describe how great this movie is. It's one of the scariest and creepiest movies in recent years and has a wild and strong plot. Everything horror directors are taught to do gets done perfectly. The acting is great too.

It goes in a direction you'll never expect. Absolutely insane film!

600 characters my ass come on IMDB.

Is this not enough for you?

This has got to be 600 by now.

What the hell. I just want to review this movie.

OMFG HOW IS THIS STILL TOO SHORT IM WRITING A REVIEW NOT AN ESSAY.

IM HONESTLY ABOUT TO JUST GIVE UP.

This is ridiculous.

Why is there even a character count?! Let people review movies how they want!

FINALLY.

Stranger Things: Chapter Four: Dear Billy (2022) Season 4, Episode 4

One of the best things I've ever watched

[10/10 · 27 June 2022]

I was skeptical at first, thinking this episode was simply overhyped by Stranger Things diehard fans like what happens with Marvel too often. But I was far from correct. It really is that good!!! I'm still trying to recover from that ending that had me on my feet.

Men (2022)

Pretty awesome, weird ending

[6/10 · 20 May 2022]

I couldn't help but drool over Men. Yeah, I said it. I like Men. Until THAT part. The acting, cinematography, score, story telling, sound design... almost everything was expertly executed. It was also pretty scary with its build ups, tension, and creepy visuals. But the ending. What the actual hell was that weird mess?!? Also the CGI face of the boy was hilariously bad. But, like I said, I like Men. This is by far A24's best year and it's only May.

The Flash: Family Matters, Part 2 (2021) Season 7, Episode 11

Goofy ahh effects 💀

[2/10 · 15 May 2022]

That one part near the end when they were fighting Nora in that tunnel thing had me rolling on the floor. The way this show has shifted into a comedy without noticing is amazing.

The Flash: The One with the Nineties (2021) Season 7, Episode 6

This episode is so fun

[10/10 · 15 March 2022]

As bad as this show has become, this episode was a blast! I LOVED it!! And it has some emotion to it as well! Of course, there are some modern flash moments that are trash, but this was so fun.

Saint Maud (2019)

Best horror movie in recent years

[10/10 · 12 January 2022]

WOW WOW WOW, the acting is powerful, the entirety is well directed, the music is amazing, and the incredible build up to the shocking final scene that you'll never forget. WOW!!

River Monsters: Lair of Giants (2012) Season 4, Episode 9

A masterpiece

[10/10 · 26 November 2021]

This, hands down, is the best episode of Rivier Monsters, the best animal planet show. It's not just an episode, it's an adventure that feels like a movie. And the ending is perfect!

The Secret Life of Pets (2016)

Cash grab that lazily mirrors toy story

[3/10 · 1 November 2021]

I'll give it 3 since it's kinda funny, but when you look at this with detail, it's blatantly obvious it was a remake of Toy Story. All of the elements in Pixar's masterpiece are clear.

The Office: The Return (2007) Season 3, Episode 13

An outrageously funny build up to an iconic moment

[10/10 · 20 October 2021]

The Return is on of my favorite episodes of the entire show. Ed Helms is perfect as Andy and as annoying as he is, it's one of the funniest episodes!

Then comes the wall punch, a jaw dropping moment of the show that is always hilarious.

The Flash: Mother (2021) Season 7, Episode 3

What the hell was that 💀

[2/10 · 18 October 2021]

"Is it you" "No, it's Chewbacca"

What even is this show anymore 😂 Everyone sucks at acting now The writing is lowest tier CGI is awful 2 stars for making laugh with how bad it is.

Squid Game: Kkanbu (2021) Season 1, Episode 6

The saddest piece of entertainment I've ever seen

[10/10 · 7 October 2021]

Like another reviewer said, this episode leaves you shaken to the core.

The Office: Stairmageddon (2013) Season 9, Episode 19

The dog cat mouse guy makes the whole episode

[10/10 · 29 September 2021]

That talking head Paul Feig has as that animal trainer guy is in contest for my favorite line of the entire show. I am wiping away tears of laughter right now.

The Office: Turf War (2012) Season 8, Episode 23

In my top 20 episodes

[10/10 · 16 September 2021]

I've been rewatching and ranking every single episode of The Office. Turf War is the best episode on season 8 by far. It's hilarious and thrilling!

Candyman (2021)

Way better than the 1992, and even that was amazing

[8/10 · 27 August 2021]

Bigger, scarier, and by far better, Candyman is nothing short of a visually stunning masterpiece. Get ready for Nia DaCosta's name to be a staple in the horror genre, and I'm talking at the level of Wes Craven. There's no part of Candyman I can really critique. If I had to, I would say I would've like more of the original soundtrack or at least a variation of it, but Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe's score is far from disappointing. The story could've been a bit less choppy towards the end, but it's still wildly entertaining. Writing was the weakest part of the film, and really the only weak part. The best part? Cinematography; it could've been the bland camera cuts that nobody cares for, but instead there are some uncut sequences, creative mirror shots, and zooming. This movie is all around stellar, adding so much more to the original, and should be a classic years from now.

The Flash: The Speed of Thought (2021) Season 7, Episode 2

THEY DID NOT

[10/10 · 14 August 2021]

This show is a dumpster fire at this point... BUT OH MY GOD! KILLER FROST WITH VELOCITY X IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF!!

The Umbrella Academy: Extra Ordinary (2019) Season 1, Episode 3

Wow this show sucks

[1/10 · 29 July 2021]

These first three episodes are the three worst episodes I've ever seen on television.

The Office: Job Fair (2008) Season 4, Episode 13

A pretty weak episode

[5/10 · 29 July 2021]

Season 4 is considered by many, and me, to be the best season. With classics like Branch Wars, Goodbye Toby, and Dinner Party, the season is above all the others and it was even cut short due to the writers strike. But Job Fair is pretty weak and not very funny compared to how outrageously funny the show usually is.

The Office: Branch Wars (2007) Season 4, Episode 6

The most underrated episode

[10/10 · 29 July 2021]

In one of my many rewatched I've begun to rank every episode. My top 10 is pretty much finalized and Branch Wars is number 3 (above it is Broke at 2 and Dinner Party and 1).

Chernobyl (2019)

WOW

[10/10 · 28 July 2021]

Chernobyl is absolute perfection, with top shelf acting, casting, writing, cinematography, music, and storytelling. The very talented Hildur Guðnadóttir creates a soundtrack like no other in television, with music that sounds like tragedy, death, and radiation. Jessie Buckley, Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård, and Emily Watson deliver performances that are hard to beat. This would be a very long review if I included every actor that excelled, because that would quite literally be all of them. There are so many lines that stick with the viewer, thanks to stellar writing, especially in the final episode, Vichnaya Pamyat. I can't say enough about this miniseries, if I tried to cover everything and everyone that made this truly special, I would be naming every person and every moment. Chernobyl is truly breathtaking and bone chilling.

The Umbrella Academy: Run Boy Run (2019) Season 1, Episode 2

Are you kidding me?!?

[1/10 · 20 July 2021]

This and the first episode was so bad it made me quit the show. "Stick with it" yeah I know, this failed to interest me and it's the makers' fault.

In the Heights (2021)

In the Heights

[8/10 · 12 June 2021]

In the Heights has all good songs, a few great ones, and two that standout even compared to Hamilton; the two are 96,000 and Paciencia Y Fe. Anthony Ramos nails his role and could be a contender at the next Oscars, along with the movie's music. There are some flaws like the fact it is unnecessarily long and could've been shorter, adding a few boring moments. But overall, In the Heights meets all the qualifications to be a future classic, and proves that there is no doubt Lin Manuel Miranda is a very talented man.

A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

Millicent Simmons is stellar

[10/10 · 6 June 2021]

Wow! First off, I cannot stress enough how good of a performance was just delivered by Millicent Simmons. She outperforms everyone and is Oscar worthy every second she's on the screen. This movie was better than the first one, equaling the nerve racking tension and cutting down on the flaws. Marco Beltrami's score is the same from the first one, but that's because it really is special, adding suspense and beauty to the film. John Krasinski, like in part one, makes this more than just an all out thriller, adding depth to almost every character. I really hope this becomes a franchise with more movies because we are all fully invested.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

I miss you Wan, but Chaves is fine

[7/10 · 5 June 2021]

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It has many highlights and solid scares, but lacks the magic of James Wan. Michael Chaves does better than I expected him to do as director, with many scenes similar to Wan's scare formula. Joseph Bishara creates a new track that still adds a lot of tension to the movies moments, the best scene being the awesome forest scene. Compared to the other entries in the franchise The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a pretty big step back while still being successful. The story is very intriguing but gets messier as the plot evolves, and definitely could've used a bit more James Wan. Another flaw is the movie paces back from the paranormal and actually leans toward a slasher flick. I don't think that was the goal but it happens about three quarters in, about where everything else goes slightly south as well. Hopefully James Wan directs the fourth installment if we get one, but Chaves does a decent job with the third.
