Good Boy is the latest theatrical release from Shudder and another win for them. This flick in intense abd fucked me up, not cause of anything scary just my concern for the dog and the human connection. It's a great film but one I don't know if I can emotionally take again, very similar to A Monster Calls.
My girlfriend loves Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, with both having love action remakes this year plus Chris Sanders flooring me with The Wild Robot, I dove into both. I watched all of both trilogies and loved em. I finally saw the live action Stitch and much like the animated one, I was not prepared. This is touching, heartfelt, at times more sad than the original, fun, well acted and how a remake should be, familiar yet different enough. Now I am ready for my Disney World Vacation.
One Battle After Another is PT Anderson's best film since Magnolia. I know I said that about There Will Be Blood and Licorice Pizza but it truly shows how masterful he is. Here is an exercise in tension with pitch black humor, quirk and the best acting from his cast since Blood, I would say Magnolia but Daniel Day Lewis killed it I'm Blood. It is a highly topical film, my main complaint was too many endings but as the endings were happening they all served their purpose. One Masterpiece After Another.

Him is an interesting film, the trailer looked intriguing but the reviews were awful, after seeing it j can see why. This thinks it is elevated horror when it is not. It's surreal, it's visceral, and it succeeds in those aspects, the script however is all over the place. Solid acting all around with great tension and atmosphere. It's Fight Club meets the Prisoner just set around football and in a horror realm. It's jumbled but I admired it.
I'm not huge in to anime. I appreciate it but none ever captivate me, my favorites are Akira, High School of the Dead, Mind Game, PokeMon, Scott Pilgrim, the Animatrix, Vampire Hunter D, and Perfect Blue. I have watched stuff like Dragon Ball, Full Metal Alchemist, One Punch Man, and even watched a few episodes of Demon Slayer. My girlfriend's 14 year old daughter loves Demon Slayer, she wanted to see the new film, and like a proud parent, you take them to see the film they want to see. This is a visually stunning film, lots of action and heart, overly long, even she thought so. I had a good time with this. It isn't my cup of tea but I found enjoyment in it.
