The Glass Castle, 2017 – 2.5/5

The whole movie is basically a build of of Brie Larson’s character reminiscing and coming to terms with her crappy childhood under her homeless grifter father (Woody Harrelson) She has been working to normalize her life with a real job and a fiance only to crap all over that because she realizes her father “meant well”.

I mean, the cliche ending would be for Woody to admit how bad of a father he was but I guess they wanted to eschew that for some sort of message that it’s ok to be a drunk aimless grifter if you care deep down inside.

At least most of the performances are decent in this Trainwreck of a plot with it’s questionabe morality ending.

Spider-Man: Far From Home, 2019 – 3.5/5

The second Spiderman film starts off a little stunted but starts to become pretty good after the initial “conflict” is resolved and we get to the real plot.

The Mysterio effect sequences are really impressive, though the overy exposisive parts feel really clunky. Peter’s classmates serve as a fun backdrop that bounces between funny and cringy. Probably the biggest offender is MJ, who starts out feeling like way more of a character than Spider-man’s last outting but sort of does this weird devolution to feeling really dull by the end.

It’s a decent entry in the MCU and Spider-Man franchises, but it’s a little clunky at times.

Final Score, 2018 – 3.5/5

What if you had Die Hard, except Dave Bautista as John McClain, in a Football stadium in England.

It’s not a super original formula, but the execution is pretty good. There aren’t a ton of surprising twists but the action is solid and everyone is pretty convincing along the way.

Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, 2018 – 4/5

A perrty touching look at the life of Robin Williams and his various struggles. It was interesting to see how many other comedians and actors he had worked with closely and affected over the years.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu, 2019 – 3.5/5

Good for some decent laughs, visually pretty good looking, mostly it falls apart a bit in the third act with the villain.
