Quick thoughts on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

Leave a comment

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.

First up, we have Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

This movie has themes of friendship, work-life balace, and a zombie shark with legs. What more could you want? 🧟‍♂️🦈🦵 #zom100 #zom100netflix #zombieshark

Next is Broker, which was one of my favorite movies of 2022

Then we have Netflix’s painfully generic Heart of Stone

Then I checked out the Jennifer Lawrence comedy No Hard Feelings

@trashwire

Comedies for grownups are rare these days, but this was a pretty good one. #nohardfeelingsmovie #nohardfeelingsfilm #jenniferlawrence #andrewbarthfeldman #movietok #filmtok

And finally, I had the chance to see one of my all-time faves, Cannibal! The Musical, on the big screen for the first time and I had to make a little video about that too

‘Indiana Jones 5’ was actually pretty fun

I was not expecting to like this movie after the mess that was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but I actually had fun with it.

Here are my quick thoughts on TikTok

Indiana Jones and the #dialofdestiny isn’t as good as #raidersofthelostark but it’s much better than #crystalskull 🎬 #indianajones #indianajones5 #harrisonford #quickmoviereview #quickfilmreviews #filmcritictok
