Mind of Aaron W

I had fun with this. Pratt was not the worst voice, it was Seth Rogen. Illumination knows how to make a gorgeous movie.

This is the MCU I always wanted. Existential humor and nostalgia.

Watched on Friday July 28, 2023.

"It's time to protect your nuts, guys."

This is the intro to the Kumite and I loved it. 90 minutes of cheese and cheesy action. What more can you ask for?

This would have been my top movie of 2021.

Julie and Aksel's relationship has Before Sunset vibes, but with the added depth of Julie's narcissism. This movie is a difficult yet somehow hopeful watch about aging and finding your purpose. I loved every minute of it.

Indy is Harrison Ford's best franchise. And I love SW.

Uncle Bob strikes again.

I liked it a lot. Just enough Nolan grandeur and an incredible cast to round out the most depressing blockbuster of the year. Murphy deserves all the praise for his performance. RDJ sneaky good too.

"I must stand up and fight."

Don't you dare try and punch my wife in an elevator! Seriously the stair/elevator fight was incredible to watch.

"The world isn't fair, but moral standards apply to us all."

Down with the colonizers!

I too want to fight 10 people and kick their ass, but I do not possess any of the skills to do so.

1. Arnold is the man.
2. There's still 6 years for the future James Cameron depicts to become reality.
3. Having a pet iguana in the 80s seems so rad.

This film bothered me the whole time I watched it. I couldn't tell if I actually even liked it. But I couldn't look away. It is mesmerizing, haunting, and the cinematography is top notch. What Jonathan Glazer does here is deserving of all the praise reaped on it in 2013. Yet, this is definitely not for everyone - I'm still struggling to figure out if I enjoyed it. But it really makes you think and unnerves you.

Motorcycles are so in right now.

My ranking of the top 10 Pixar films as of the release of Elemental (2023). Will continuously update this as new films come out and I see them.

And yes, I just don't like the Cars movies 😂

1. Toy Story 2
2. Ratatouille
3. WALL·E
4. Toy Story
5. Coco
6. The Incredibles
7. Soul
8. Inside Out
9. Finding Nemo
10. Elemental

The best looking Pixar film. I quite enjoyed this despite it not being critically received well. The love story worked for me, they nailed immigrant story. Give it a chance for yourself. Looks great on the big screen.

Finally got a chance to watch the Dune Part 2 trailer. I cannot wait for this film.

Not as funny as I remember but still a good time.

Another dazzling display of Wes Anderson’s signature style. This movie is beautiful; he uses dioramas and models in tasteful ways, and continues the vibrant palette that he made famous. 

Asteroid City captivated me with its themes of loneliness and wonder. In the end though, I can’t help but think this is a middle finger to all the Wes Anderson haters for the mixed reactions to The French Dispatch.

Didn't like this as much as I expected to. The cat bus is absolutely terrifying.

"I'm happy now, because I love you."

The things we do for love. Including but not limited to reliving the same day over and over again.

I think I like the first one better. This is more of the same as Extraction 1, but still I enjoyed the action. The prison break scene is awesome.

This movie is incredible. It is utterly beautiful in its animation, changing styles at will, somehow seamlessly. 

And at the same time it’s moving and inspiring in its plot. Go see this movie and see it on the big screen. You won’t be disappointed.
