Justice League (2017)

4/10

MoviePass movie #6
[saw at Williamsburg Cinemas]

Pretty much what I expected. So bland. Too serious. Some of the action stuff was definitely well done but I just didn't care. Laughable and not in a good way. Bad cast!

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

9.5/10

Moviepass movie #5
[saw at Union Square Regal]

I loved it. I'm glad I knew nothing about it going into it

Lady Bird (2017)

6.5/10

movie pass movie #4
[saw at Nighthawk]

I can't complain, was good. But also I don't care that much. Would have loved it when I was like 17-20.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

8.5/10

MoviePass movie #3
[saw at Union Square Regal]

I really like it!

I was uncomfortable sometimes. And laughing sometimes. it worked!

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

8/10

MoviePass movie #2

On Facebook I wrote:

Late to the party. Mostly liked. Too long. Really appreciate that a huge budget movie can be so artfully done. I hate modern sci fi effects. Nothing bores me more than a CGI environment and I expected this to absolutely fail where Blade Runner 1 succeeded. I just wanted to look and listen to the universe. Wanted even more street scenes! I can't believe no one mentioned how cool that scene was with holographic Elvis. Or the scene on the concrete beach beyond the wall. I ate it up. Any other fist fight in a movie would be drowned out by some EPIC TRACK. In The Elvis room, you could basically just hear the clicking of the lights coming on and off; that's great sound design! By about 3/4ths in I did want it to be over. But it looked and sounded so cool.

The Florida Project (2017)

9.5/10

MoviePass movie #1
[saw at Nighthawk]

I loved this movie from beginning to end, until the end.

This is an absolute must watch. One of those rare almost-perfect movies. I loved it so much.

But the ending was so bad.

I don't even want to elaborate right now.

It's all I can think about.

I went from loving every minute. And crying.

To seeing that sped up shot.

And thinking, wait... what are you doing.

That ending shot of the Disney castle felt like they just wanted to show HEY LOOK WE SHOT IN DISNEY WORLD ISNT THAT COOL. So dissapointing.

Perfect otherwise.
