“I’m sorry, Maude.”

A ton of fun elements in this. I love that we get a bunch of different aliens who are scary for different reasons. Kaitlyn Dever is unreal good and carries the whole thing on her back. The story works, too. The entire time I wanted to know what happened for Brynn to be alienated and it didn’t disappoint.

“See ya later, chum.”

Sometimes all you need in life is to turn your brain off, eat some Chili’s with your friends, and then see Meg 2: The Trench.

I hate to it it but my high school ass would’ve been all in on the haunted hand game.

“The key is only the beginning.”

I appreciate how after every one of these movies I say to myself “how are they gonna top these set pieces in the next one?” And every time they do it. Venice and the Orient Express? So good. Can’t believe I have to wait a year for Part Two.

“Woodrow, any last words?”
“No, I don’t believe in god anymore.”
“Fair enough.”

1950s desert aesthetic with an alien/sci-fi elements mixed in is so my thing it hurts. Thanks, Wes.

“I bet she doesn’t even speak Spanish.”

It’s so impressive how the Spider-Verse movies blow every other superhero movie out of the fucking water.

“Mommy’s with the maggots now.”

What a gory blast that was! Pretty much everything I wanted from a new Evil Dead movie. Going to be fun to see where they take the franchise next. 

Also, please see this in theaters. Seeing it with a big crowd was such a treat.

“I am your only salvation.”

Cage, Hoult, the redone scenes from Dracula, and the action were pretty great. It’s not perfect and when it gets away from the campy aspects it lost me, but overall a fun time. The My Chemical Romance needle drop was also a nice surprise that definitely pushed the whole thing up a half star.

“So who’s the player for the shoe?”
“Michael Jordan.”

I have a degree in Sport Management and one of my professors was friends with Sonny Vaccaro so I knew I was gonna enjoy this, but I’m glad it was actually a good and fun watch. That always helps!
