A Quiet Place
This is one of the most gripping, tense, and best films i have seen in a while. Fantastic acting from all involved, great creature designs, and a brilliant concept. I feared this would be a Cloverfield flick, i was out of town when it came out, but i knew if it was i would have heard, hell i would have heard out of SXSW, but being a stand alone film, makes it even better. I hope it doesn't get a sequel, even though i would still go see it, it is a perfect film on it's own legs. You legit feel fear for the characters, and you begin to connect with them through sign language and learn about their disconnect through guilt from the past. There is definitely heart in this film, not just that but it is thoughtful too. The real meat & potatoes comes from the tension though, this film knows how to build tension. The ending I loved, sacrifice & heroes dying is a thing i love in film.

Ready Player One
Steven Spielberg used to make films that left you in awe. That isn't to say films like the Post aren't great, but it just isn't the Spielberg of old. What about stuff like The BFG? Well i wasn't a fan, well what about Tin Tin? Okay, yes it as a fun flick, but it did not leave me aweing. You want to know what did? Ready Player One! Is it a CGI fest? Yeah, but accept it. Is it daunting trying to find the easter eggs? A little, but i had fun doing it. Isn't this just a nerdy masturbatory flick? Yes it is. Isn't he whole nerd chic fan a little passee in this day & age? Sure is, but you have a master like Spielberg at the helm! Does he stroke his own dick? He sure as fuck does! This film has a ragtag group of fun characters including Oliva Cooke, style up the ass, Olivia Cooke, a great soundtrack, Olivia Cooke, Olivia Cooke being a badass, Olivia Cooke being adorable, Olivia Cooke's avatar being a badass, her avatar being hot, and it is just an all around fun flick! Do you like car chases? This film has it! Do you like horror? This film has it! Do you like kaiju battles? This film has it, and does it better that Pacific Rim could imagine. It has one of the best placed fucks of all time, and spoiler, it involves Chucky! Speaking of Chucky, let's talk horror! My horror hard on was cumming blood, elevators worth of blood for the Shinning scene. My buddy said he could feel my boner over that scene, i was laughing, geeking, clapping, humming. Oh and this film has a great "death" scene that pays tribute to a certain machine. This is easily my favorite Spielberg flick since Catch Me if You Can, but it is the most Spielbergish Spielberg film since the Lost World. I can't wait to see this again!
Mom & Dad
Brian Taylor appears to be the breakout star of Neveldine/Taylor, i liked Crank, but love Crank 2. To me that is their style, and most of their other films haven't been as batshit. and then Happy came along. Happy is one of if not the most batshit show on TV, hell it is one of the most batshit pieces of film on any medium. So when i read how awesome Mom & Dad was, i was stoked, hearing it is Nicholas Cage being as unhinged as ever, made me even more stoked. The film is crazy, as is Nic Cage, but he isn't that crazy in it, neither is the film for that matter. Moments of crazy sure, but this wasn't the batshit film i thought it would be. I even went in with expectations checked, but i still just only enjoyed it, i wanted to love it. For a film similar to this, go watch Mayhem, or fuck go watch the Signal(2007).

High Maintenance Season 2
The web series was brilliant, the first season was aswell. I preferred the web series to both seasons and this one had an episode i found pretty damn bad, but with all of that said, damn, what a heartfelt & touching season. The episode in particular with the old man was so god damned good, it was heart wrenching. The season finale was really awesome, it was like hanging out with your buds. The show has brilliant dialogue, great satire & hilarious moments all with showing so much heart. Short seasons, fast paced episodes, such a great series, and a true cult show.
Portlandia the final season
Portlandia started off as this brilliant little sketch comedy series, it then caught on and basically became a sitcom. Once it hit sitcom status it lost it's satire. It originally was celebrating yet poking fun at hipsters & their passions, but it soon just tried being a sketch series without much direction. Most of this season lacked direction, but the second to last episode about the traveling trash can, reminded you of how brilliant the show was, it was a celebration of the series itself. The finale wasn't bad, but i wish the traveling trash was the true finale. I will miss this show, but the last season wasn't very strong.
