MaXXXine (2024)
XXOANAAugust 1, 2024
This one is definitely the weakest out of the trilogy. It's mostly just Mia Goth's flawless acting that keeps it going. The first movie was really clever, focusing on the porn slasher thing and doing it well, even though it's a niche subject. The second one was really good, too, kind of mirroring the pandemic and having great quality overall. But this one tried to do too much and wasted many plotlines and characters. What's really disappointing is that Ti West's directing wasn't as good as it could have been. It might have been better if he had made the movie more critical.

This movie didn't quite live up to all the hype, but it's still one of the best psychological thrillers of the year. It takes elements from classics like "Hereditary" and "Se7en" and tells a solid story with some creepy motivations for the villain. The close-up shots with blurry effects, music, and how they handle flashbacks are all impressive.

I was expecting a murder mystery like "The Silence of the Lambs," but instead, it returned to religious themes, with the female FBI agent's role being kind of limited. But even with the flaws, the movie has some great things going for it, especially the music and cinematography.

I'm a little disappointed. The movie is nothing like what the trailer promised. It focuses more on building an atmosphere with a slower pace, which makes some parts drag on a bit. But the visuals and sound are still worth seeing in theaters. The reveal of the truth could've been more exciting or surprising, but the director didn't quite pull it off. And overall, it's not as scary as I was expecting.

I'm really disappointed with this movie. The script, pacing, and character development are all lacking. The mix of supernatural and detective elements just doesn't gel, and it's hard to stay invested. The third act is so awkward. I can't believe they made such a dud. The dialogue is super basic, in a bad way. And the horror is all about jump-scares, nothing more. Plus, the lead actress's acting is one-note, with no depth at all. In short, skip this movie; it's not worth your time.

The movie tries to do some cool audiovisual stuff but doesn't keep it up the whole time. The story starts out good but then falls kind of flat. Longlegs' death is never really explained; the characters aren't developed well, and the acting is just okay. Overall, it's not worth the money. You'd be better off getting an iced coffee to cool off instead.

I don't really get why so many people are raving about this movie. I think it's missing that edge-of-your-seat feeling, and the story is kind of basic and predictable. It doesn't have that wow factor or really scare you. Overall, it just didn't stick with me.

This movie does an excellent job of creating an intense atmosphere with its amazing music and stunning visuals. It's a pleasant surprise how they showed the kitchen space with much tension; it really makes you feel like you're in danger.

I was hoping it would traumatize me badly based on Neon's marketing for this film, but sadly, I'm still sane when I come out of the theater. My favorite part is the investigation. The murder cases and symbols are so intriguing that they kind of ruin the third act. However, the dreary and unsettling atmosphere is very immersive.

The movie seems like it's just taking bits and pieces from a bunch of famous crime thrillers, but the plot doesn't make any sense. And then they throw in this Satanic ending as if they just added it in there to make it more exciting. But the scary parts, with the jump scares and all the blood, are actually pretty good. I gotta say, the wintery snowfall and the old film look are totally my cup of tea.

Overall, the movie is okay. The audiovisual elements are good enough, but it has no really amazing moments that blow you away. The movie's second part has some pacing issues, and the third part rushes through the story and reveals things too fast, which makes it quite boring. The ending makes up for it for a little bit, but it just ends up too suddenly and doesn't really enhance the whole experience. Therefore, it seems more suited for a casual watch on weekday nights than anything else.

This movie is really creative in combining Satanic themes with a serial killer story. It creates a really unsettling vibe and does a good job of blending the two genres. But at times the mix also makes it feel a little disconnected, like there's too much unnecessary mystery.

This movie is really clever in how it mixes mysterious symbols, religion, and supernatural elements to create an intense and suspenseful atmosphere. Overall, it's divided into three parts. The first two are really interesting, but the third part kind of ruins it by unraveling the mystery too quickly in a monologue. It makes the detective work that came before feel less useful. Besides, the climax feels kind of rushed, which is a bummer.
Goyo (2024)

This movie was pretty cute and had a good message, but I didn't really love it. The acting was solid, the cinematography was decent, and the idea was interesting. There were some good moments, and I laughed a little, but overall, I felt like it was missing something. There were a few unnecessary scenes, and some things felt incomplete. The romance was okay, but I would have liked to see more development towards the end.

“Goyo” was really boring as a romantic movie. There was no chemistry between the main characters at all, and their relationship just felt forced and unnatural. I didn't really understand why Eva liked Goyo, especially when he did some things that were a little out of line. And we didn't get to see them actually fall for each other. Instead, the movie spends too much time on Goyo's siblings arguing about whether he should date Eva. It just didn't do it for me. I did like some parts of it, but the bad outweighed the good, and I just couldn't get into the romance.

With the "Despicable Me" series on its fourth movie, it's starting to feel like they're running out of ideas. Even with the Minions taking center stage again, they're not really doing anything new or exciting. The movie isn't very funny or original, and the plot feels like they're just doing the same old stuff again. It mostly just relies on the Minions being noisy to keep people awake.

I'd give this movie a 4.5 out of 10. It feels like they just tacked on another sequel for no reason, using the same old stuff from before. Even though it's not very long, it feels like it drags on forever. The bad guy is pretty weak, and while there are some funny moments, they don't really have any substance. The movie relies too much on nostalgia to keep people interested, and the climax, where all the villains meet up in prison, is just awkward. The only good thing about it is the cute Minions.

LLeon_ColesAugust 1, 2024
This movie is one of the weakest in the series. The plot is all over the place, and it feels like they were just trying to create chaos without really having a solid story. The supermarket scene was kind of funny, but overall, it was still not as funny as the previous movies in this series. And that ending song was just weird; honestly, it didn't wrap things up satisfactorily.

The quality of this series has gone down a bit, with the Minions taking up a lot of screen time but not really doing anything new or exciting. The Megaminions part wasn't very good, and some of the classic Minion characters were missing, leaving us with just Gru fighting the villains. It's kind of boring to see the same thing over and over again. By the way, one cool thing was that Valentina's voice is so recognizable that it immediately reminded me of Gloria from "Modern Family."

This new movie is all about heartwarming family moments, and the Minions are still as cute as ever. It's not as action-packed as the others, but it pulls on your heartstrings with some subtle emotions. This franchise is trying out some new things, and making it into a series might be a good way to dig deeper into the characters and tell more complex stories. Even though the IMAX tech isn't fully utilized, this movie is still a great way to chill out and laugh with your family. Overall, it's a really enjoyable movie, and I can't wait to see what else they can come up with.
