Three new quick movie reviews

I recently reviewed three new movies and I have several more coming soon.

First up, we have Next Goal Wins, which I didn’t expect to like because I’m feeling major Taika Wiaiti burnout.

Next is Biosphere which is a small and incredibly efficient movie. The whole thing is basically two guys in a room talking, but it goes in some pretty wild directions.

And finally, we have Saltburn which I freaking loved. It’s dark, twisted, disturbing, and I was hooked right from the start.

As always you can find more of my quick reviews on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Trashwire.

Quick thoughts on ‘The Killer’

I really wanted to love this movie. I’m a fan of David Fincher and Michael Fassbender is always impressive, but the main character here is just so cold and stoic that it’s hard to really get invested in the story.

Quick thoughts on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

I had the chance to review the new Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Trashwire. This movie is long and the subject matter is difficult, but I was fully engrossed throughout the three-and-a-half-hour runtime.

Most surprising was that I didn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Something about it just didn’t click for me. Maybe it was the fake teeth, maybe the fact that everyone kept referring to him as “son” or “that boy” when we all know he’s almost 50, but there were a few times when he kind of took me out of the movie.

Lily Gladstone was the standout and she is incredible! I certainly hope she’s in the awards conversation this year.

Here are my quick thoughts on Tiktok. My full review is on Trashwire here and you can follow me on Letterboxd right here to see what I’m watching.

The new Wes Anderson Roald Dahl short films are great!

There has been way too little press or marketing effort put into the new short films from Wes Anderson based on the stories of Roald Dahl. These four short films are streaming right now on Netflix and they’re all absolutely worth checking out. I made a short video about them, but I’m still trying to decide which one I like the most because I really dug all of them.

I loved ‘The Creator’

I had the opportunity to see the new Gareth Edwards film The Creator and I loved it. It’s fantastic to see original sci-fi stories that look this good with a budget of only $80 million! My friend Leo from Geekly Goods and I talked about it on the Whatcha Watchin podcast, which you can check out on Trashwire or here.
