caught up on a lot of movies. no time to devote full diatribes – so quick hitz!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Skywalker works because it wasn’t The Last Jedi. You really screwed the pooch Rian Johnson. Can’t blame J.J. for trying to right/write the ship when he was handed a mess and a mop and bucket, and had the impossible task of moving on with Princess Leia, when you don’t really have her. Kudos to you J.J. I knew this would work when early in the film they were like, hey Rose, wanna join us on this adventure, and she was like, sorry, I need to stay back and be thrown in character jail. I literally cheered out loud when that happened.
When did servicing fans become a bad thing? This is a continued trilogy of the original trilogy. We want more of the same. Save different fom the next non-Skywalker trilogy
Only REAL misfire? Lando was underused and basically a waste. Still, he’s one smooth muther fcuker!

Hustlers
This movie is a piece of garbage. You’d think a movie with endless beautiful actresses barely wearing anything, and riding on poles and crotches for almost two hours would be something watchable. It’s not. You count down the seconds until these ‘hustlers’ are caught and the credits roll. Jo-L deserves a Razzie more than a nomination for any actual award of merit. She’s a talented entertainer, but not even remotely a talented actress. Cardi B was no better, but I will admit, I enjoyed seeing her Cardi DD ‘talents’ out on display. Stay away and just read the original article it’s based on. It’s enuff to get you off

Parasite (기ìƒì¶©)
If a foreign language movie can keep my attention and grab it (on home viewing) – it’s a success, and Parasite is way more than a success. It’s like Us, but actually well done and meaningful.
Also, it’s two crazed movies within one. The first half is a melancholy comedic grifter flick, and then when we go into the basement, it becomes a psychological horror show that’s real horrorshow!
Also, that house should get an award for best movie house!

The Last Black Man in San Francisco
I love movies that are soulful postcards of cities. My Winnipeg comes to mind as one of the best I’ve seen this century. Last Black Man in San Francisco isn’t the best, but it has soul, and the postcard is really damn pretty. Plus, Emile Mosseri’s score is one of the best scores I’ve heard since Michael Nyman’s for Wonderland. SCORE!

Knives Out
Big stars and a whole lot of big nothing. I’m late to the game here but I don’t see what the big deal is. Sure, we all like large group Agatha Christie whodunits, but this whodidn’t. It wishes it was clever. It wishes it was Clue. It has a nice title treatment, and Ana de Armas is nice to look it. The rest??? Blow me Rian Johnson. Wait, blow yourself. You can tell he had already been doing so with his ‘snappy’ and ‘witty’ script
Verdictgo: Whatever – it’s not Clue
