Meet the Team

The team is me, Cathrine Giles. I dare to ask the question: Where is my lip balm?

๐˜Œ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ด: 4/5. Not the bes ๐˜Œ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ด: 4/5. Not the best MCU movie but also not the worst. Iโ€™m probably being a bit more generous because I liked the cast. I actually wanted more of each character โ€” for a movie that was 2 1/2 hours, I didnโ€™t get to know them all as much as I wanted.โฃ I think this movie would have benefited from an MCU break after ๐˜Œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ or even ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ-๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ช ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜›๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜™๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด. Or the upcoming ๐˜š๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ-๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ! It also would have benefited from having a less world-endy plot. Every movie is so world-endyโ€” letโ€™s get more contained plots and villains. Like the plot here could have been about evolving Deviants, as well as their evolving relationships~ โฃ As per usz, there are mid-credit and after-credit scenes.

It was very enjoyable to watch and definitely more symbolic than linear*. While I donโ€™t fully remember the poem (the last time I read it was in college, tbh), I still got nervous toward the end about where the plot was going. However, I was mostly satisfied. โฃ โฃ I wish it was longer.โฃ โฃ #moviereview #thegreenknight *ETA: โ€œlinearโ€ is not the word Iโ€™m looking for here. Iโ€™ll update it when I have the word. *ETA 2: I think โ€œliteralโ€ is what Iโ€™m looking for here.
Going on hiatus for a bit! Going on hiatus for a bit!
Black Christmas: 3/5. A bit heavy handed on the vi Black Christmas: 3/5. A bit heavy handed on the villainy but I liked the women working together. Pretty straight forward plot โ€” except for one aspect, we had it figured out almost right away. Itโ€™s an okay movie but I definitely wouldnโ€™t waste theater money on it. I mean. I already did, but I donโ€™t suggest it for anyone else. Be warned that there are a few non-graphic depictions of rape and rape attempts in this movie, and rape is talked about a lot. #moviereview #blackchristmasmovie
Jumanji: The Next Level: 3/5. If you really loved Jumanji: The Next Level: 3/5. If you really loved Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, this movie is more of the same. Itโ€™s fun and not the worst way to spend two hours, but you could also just rewatch Welcome to the Jungle. The cast does a good job acting as their respective โ€œplayers.โ€ A lot of the jokes were a miss for me, but there was plenty to enjoy too. #moviereview #jumanji #jumanjithenextlevel
Star Wars: Episode IX โ€” The Rise of Skywalker: 3 Star Wars: Episode IX โ€” The Rise of Skywalker: 3/5. This movie is about Rey and her boyfriends. Itโ€™s definitely a movie I watched. There was definitely a script that was definitely written by people. Idk, yโ€™all. Itโ€™s fine. Itโ€™s not bad. Some of the relationships feel like they were building on TFA since they didnโ€™t have enough material in TLJ, and it feels a little forced. I will say this about TLJ: it did not feel like a rehash of the OG trilogy. And thereโ€™s a lot in this one that feels like a rehash. That said, there were a lot of scenes and developments and things I super enjoyed. And thereโ€™s a character that basically wears a sweater in the final act, which is a thing Iโ€™m into. I think people will overcompensate in both loving and hating this movie. #moviereview #starwars #theriseofskywalker #episodeix
