“Have you always been alone?”
An entertaining yarn, but not nearly worthy of the praise it received; one of Del Toro’s worst.
★★★☆☆
The Shape of Water
Sentence & Still
Black Panther
“You can’t let your father’s mistakes define who you are. You get to decide what kind of king you are going to be.”
Awful script, story, and visual effects; as much as it hurts to say, if this weren’t such a great display of black acting talent there’s no way this film would garner any praise at all.
★★☆☆☆
Blade Runner 2049
“All the best memories are hers.”
Exceptionally beautiful, and a far greater accomplishment than the original, occasionally slow but never boring or disengaging, a triumph — Villeneuve is the best director working today.
★★★★★
The Redeemed and the Dominant: Fittest on Earth
“Hard work pays off.”
There’s something so inspirational, energetic, and edge-of-your-seat engaging about the Crossfit documentaries, and this is the best one yet — a taught behind the scenes look at the 2017 Crossfit Games following the front-runners as they battle for gold.
