Overlord

Overlord Title Card

Overlord Still

“A thousand year Reich needs thousand year soldiers”

Incredible opening sequence, it loses it’s way a little, but Christ it’s fun — the closest thing we have to a Wolfenstein movie.

★★★★☆

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse Title Card

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse Still

“That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.”

The most beautiful, fun, and engaging superhero movie I’ve ever seen; it’s not a high bar, but I really liked this a lot.

★★★★★

Mine

Mine Title Card

Mine Still

“You ever hear about this work in real life?”

A movie that takes place for almost all of it’s running time on the same patch of earth, with an unmoving soldier trapped on a mine; saw this around the same time as The Wall with which it shares an aesthetic and setting, despite some great things going for it this movie does poorly by comparison.

★★★☆☆

The Shape of Water

The Shape of Water Title Card

The Shape of Water 1

“Have you always been alone?”

An entertaining yarn, but not nearly worthy of the praise it received; one of Del Toro’s worst.

★★★☆☆

Black Panther

Black Panther Title Card

Black Panther Still

“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.

★★☆☆☆
