Diedrich Bader steals so many scenes. Love that character.

Immaculate

I have now seen Sydney Sweeney in exactly two roles, and the other was Madame Web. If there is one thing I know for certain from that movie now, it's this: if one person in a movie is poorly acting, it is the actor's fault; if everybody in a movie is poorly acting, it is the director's fault. Madame Web's poor acting is the fault of the director, because there isn't a hint of that in Sweeney's performance in Immaculate. She steals the entire film, and sells out by giving a very haunting one-take moment in the last act.

In fact, this film will live or die on its last act decisions, and regardless of which way you stand on it they will definitely stick with you. The first couple of acts have great use of tension, though riddled with a high use of expected jump-scare moments. Thankfully, the film itself runs at a lean-and-mean 89 minutes so it is breakneck enough to not overstay its welcome. I do wish the final act was stretched out longer as a result, though. Nevertheless, Sydney Sweeney does enough to keep you engaged and locked in.

There are many movies where I think being in a theater helps best, and although this theatrical experience isn't necessarily required due to the large screen and sound, it absolutely benefits from having an audience that can react to moments alongside you. This will be one of those movies that a reaction YouTube channel is built for. Because of this, although it hits many of the tropes that religious horror movies tend to hit, it is still experiential enough for a theatrical viewing that I would recommend it, provided that you have enough of a vocal/unrested audience with you.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire


Meh

I would rate this as the worst of the monster-verse movies. Lots of Kong, little Godzilla, and a very weird human story. The pacing was closer to that of an origin story, which was odd considering this is like the 5th movie in the franchise. It did have a few funny moments, and the few monster fights that we did get were entertaining enough (albeit ludicrous even by monster verse standards). Pretty disappointing overall.

[Ghost Of The Year]

The French Dispatch was pretty interesting tho it could have been a bit longer and the stories tightened up a bit to include some overlap of the three tales that were more connected together. Still, a solid B+, maybe even an A- if I'm generous and charitable.

^^^Really liked the soundtrack for that film. So much, that the original soundtrack didn't include the piece that plays during the closing credits so I ripped it directly from the film

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

On a scale from 1-10, I would rate this movie Guy Ritchie.

Really solid movie. Good mix of action with interesting characters. It feels much shorter than its 2 hour runtime.

I saw Immaculate, a very good, very bloody and terrifying horror film with Sydney Sweeney in the role of a nun.
