Still watching the LEGO Skywalker saga:

her 3.5/5: As a 2013 release this is a very interesting retrospective watch. I will say that this movie doesn’t have a lot of dialogue, it has a lot of characters monologuing in each others direction ending on some line they think is going to be really impactful
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die 4.5/5: I continue to say, Sam Rockwell is not the best actor in the world, but man is he good at picking very interesting movies. This is really fun and is right on the nose about what it’s saying
Silver Linings Playbook 4/5: If anyone is curious, missing the first 5 minutes of the movie, then leaving before the big dance scene to go watch the beginning of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (that you also miss the start of) is a bad way to watch this. Still a pretty good romcom and doesn’t seem to make mental illness quirky or cute
Predator: Badlands 3.5/5: Maybe we should call this “The Predator and Kalisk”? I don’t love turning Predator into Star Wars but if it gives them the resources to make more stuff like “Killer of Killers” then I’ll take it. Hell it’s still better than most of the current Star Wars stuff because it doesn’t have as much baggage
Big Trouble in Little China 4/5 - It’s goofy, stupid and kinda slapped together. This is my first time and it was still very funny and I appreciated the running joke of Kurt Russell being incompetent
Quadrohenia - youthful rebellion, recounting the coming of age amongst scooter riding teens in 1964 UK.
Red State - A violent religious order kidnaps kids and has a siege with the ATF. Dark comedy.
