🍿 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, 2023 - ★★★½ (contains spoilers)
This review may contain spoilers.
It’s better than the first one, I guess. I love the wide angle stuff (the VFX work on those shots is absolutely stunning). And u know I love backstory. But overall it was just kinda icky. There’s lots that is icky in this, but for example: I don’t know how I feel about Peter’s characterization in this film. He goes from “the Guardians don’t kill” to “kill them all” in like… two scenes. Not to mention the least emotional reaction to the death of a literal entire planet since Alderaan. Or just… War Pig. I don’t feel in any rush to watch this again soon.

Buck Meek’s latest… 😌👌
Whenever Bluey does the thing where it flashes forward to the girls being older I weep. It’s like my eye-waterfall switch gets flipped. 😭
🍿 Barbie, 2023 - ★★★★½
Ken is a professional at beach. I am a professional at crying in the Barbie movie.
Three years and some months ago I had a big editing project I was wrapping up while finishing college and pulled a lot of late nights. Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Dedicated Side B” pulled me through those nights in a very real way.
Now it’s almost 2 AM and I’m wrapping up a (much smaller) project, and The Loveliest Time is pulling me through. Something about her music is just so perfect for this setting. It’s dancey and joyful but also very suited for nighttime somehow. 🙏 Thanks Carly.
