here, I have you! You're completely dished! Do you not know that in the service...No idea. I don't remember the movie well (hardly at all in fact), but I do recall not thinking that much of it.

Looks like you enjoyed the ride! I thought you would........Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
9.25 out of 10.00
Just goes to show, love is stronger than any bagel.
Another instance of me waiting too long to watch something I either have reservations about or do not think is as 'good' as I thought it could be. Everything Everywhere All At Once is the exact kind of film my insane brain loves to death. Warped imagination enveloping every conceivable angle at warp speed. I enjoyed Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness but NOT as much as this film.
It is rare finding a movie or television show conceptualize both EXISTENCE and the meaning of humanity within it as I see it. That is something I did not expect from a multiverse-themed movie, especially outside the usual comic book genre. Surrounding that core is scene after scene of pure possibility coming at you like they are shot out of a Gatling gun. The minds who thought this insanity up are unbound and not restricted by what's considered normal. They deserved Oscars served up on a silver platter.
The film is unique and extremely well presented. I did not know why it received Best Motion Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best freaking Film Editing nominations before seeing it. Now I do.
It would have been criminal if Ke Huy Quan did not win Best Supporting Actor at ANY awards show. He freaking shot his heart out of his chest in this performance. Just... wow...
Michelle Yeoh's Best Actress win? That is all I can say. Or will say, lol.
I liked it, but probably would have liked it more if I wasn't watching with my mother and sister. Having to explain events throughout a movie takes me out of it.Pale Blue Eye with Christian Bale. A young Edgar Allen Poe works with Bale’s character to solve a mysterious death on West Point campus. A period piece. Some possible occult mixed in. Murder? Politics with West Point leadership. Acting is top notch but you expect that with Bale. Poe as a young cadet is interesting. Movie looks good. Fairly interesting and unpredictable twist at the end. Still I kept wishing it would be better. They could have amped up the suspense. Movie plods along. Leads, twist, and the cinematography somewhat save the film. OK if you are bored and a fan of Bale. 5l5/10.
I liked this one a lot, especially after the first half hour or so. The part where he found the robot was surprisingly touching.Love and Monsters
It's a post-apocalyptic movie where the destruction of a meteor causes fallout that mutates cold blooded creatures into enormous size. 95% of the human population has been destroyed and the survivors live primarily underground in small colonies. After several years, Joel discovers that his girlfriend is still alive and lives in a colony less than 100 miles away and makes the journey to be with her. It was a lot better than I expected, the CGI and effects were pretty good. It's a good popcorn flick and the pandemic kinda did in any chance it had. I could see this end being one of those cult type movies and would like to see a sequel. 7.5/10
I go through the same thing with my wife when we watch a movie together, quite annoyingI liked it, but probably would have liked it more if I wasn't watching with my mother and sister. Having to explain events throughout a movie takes me out of it.
I will say, the ending was a bit odd.

I do not accept Friends on Facebook. I can't handle the Rejection.HERESY. HERESY I SAY! That's a top-20 movie of all time for me, Sir. I wish I could find your facebook account so that I could befriend you, just so I can violently UNFRIEND YOU! *spits on the ground*
But seriously, That's a great movie.
All Quiet on the Western Front (Netflix remake) - 8.5/10.
I always enjoy a good war movie that doesn't have a lot of talking. Just straight up brutal War scenes. This one is a cut above what Hollywood has trotted out the past few years (excluding 1917).
