Movies I watch So You Don't Have To

 

King Richard 2:25 – 8.1 – When I saw this on the academy award list (which means I HAVE to watch it, I so dreaded it. I was sure I’d hate it. I wanted to hate it. I didn’t hate it. It starred Will Smith as Venus and Serena’s dad. It was funny at times and an uplifting feel good movie. It makes feel like a traitor to all I believe in in movies but I have to agree with the 8.1

Last Night In Soho 1:57 – 7.5 – I had no idea what to expect with this one because I had no idea what it was about. Now I know it was about 1.5 hours too long. A girl rents an apartment in Soho and her mind gets taken over by a woman who wanted to be a singer in Soho in the 60’s but got turned into a whore by her manager. Twist at the end but not sure it was worth sitting through to see it. I give it 4.0

The French Dispatch 1:48 – 7.4 – It started off promising. Bill Murray as the boss of a French magazine. The movie is broken down into short stories from the last issue. The first two stories were pretty funny and I thought I had discovered a gem. The second half was terrible and not funny, even though I think it was supposed to be. I was mostly just confused. A good first half I give a 9 and a bad second half I give a 1 so it averages out to a 5.

Matrix Resurrections 2:28 – 7.5 – This movie rely relies on you remembering everything that happened in the first three. I barely remembered that there were 3 movies let alone what happened in any of them. But they showed enough flashbacks to help me along so I wasn’t totally lost. Lots of kung fu fighting, some bullet dodging, blue pill/red pill, same old stuff. Not super awesome but not terrible either. I give it 6.5

Red Notice 1:57 – 6.8 – I was a disappointed with Free Guy because I expect all Ryan Reynolds characters to be smartass with hilarious dialog. This movie was everything I wanted in a Ryan Reynolds movie. He is the worlds 2^nd greatest art thief which pisses him off. The Rock is an FBI agent trying to catch him. Of course it turns into a buddy flick ala Hitman’s Bodyguard (which was slightly better because Samuel L > the Rock). Another movie that it took me forever to watch because I had to rewind the funny stuff to watch again. I give it 9.8
