Watching this now as an adult, it's obvious throughout this trilogy how morally conflicted Anakin is and always has been. Such an angsty brat in this movie 😂

Love to see the romance between the two bloom. To be honest, Yoda's sounds when he was fighting Count Dooku took me out. Moving so fast and then when he was done, picked the cane back up and hobbles off like it's nothing.

This review may contain spoilers.

In all honesty, I didn't know much about this film going into it and am glad it was that way. Every single actor and actress gave a fantastic performance, especially Miles Caton (what an incredible debut!), Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo... just everyone!

The cinematography was absolutely stunning, I really love the ion that Ryan Coogler has for film and history. It's very telling in how he crafts his projects that have ties to reality. I loved learning about the juke ts and Chinese-American relations to the South during the era.

The only gripe that I have with this film is the pacing, and I don't mean the sort of 'slow burn' that it has in the first half, because I honestly loved that and being introduced to all of the characters and how they find themselves at the Moore brothers' juke t grand opening. It was more with the how quickly everything came to a close after the discovery that there are vampires at play and the entire tone of the film shifts. It remained so interesting and paced well until the 'final showdown'. Grace's snap causing everything to unfold rather rapidly had me scratching my head a bit. LOVED her character and Bo, though. For me personally, it left more to be desired and I would've loved to learn more about the origins of the main antagonist vampire.

I'd still happily watch again though and recommend it to anyone wanting to see it.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

I love getting to show my favorites! Jon Favreau is a pretty underrated director imo and I'd love to see more cooking content from him in of films or television shows. I know he pursued that for a short time with the Chef Show, though I'm not sure what my man is up to now in the cooking world. Wonder what he thinks of the Bear?

This film is a lighthearted, comfort one for me hence my five stars. I will it, the pacing in the last ten or so minutes always does get me---but I honestly can't say it takes away from my overall rating, though the film is so good up to the point where they decide to end it that it leaves you wanting so much more.

Miss Sofia is iconic and I love Jon AND John in it! Iconic. The cinematography of the food just gets me. That's what really keeps the rating so high. Love food. Gonna get something rn.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

Miss Dakota Fanning... the STAR that you ARE, ALWAYS have been and ALWAYS WILL BE! She is the reason for my rating being so high. Without her witty performance and chemistry to match Brittany Murphy's, the film wouldn't have been the same. They were casted so well and had such a good dynamic! Ugh. Miss Murphy gone far too soon. Rest her beautiful soul.

Neal was honestly annoying, but every beautiful lady will fall for a mediocre white man for that damn accent! Sheesh! Molly's Smile is honestly stuck in my head as I type this and not because it's good... maybe.

Very fun, comfort type of film vibe. Doesn't take itself too seriously, though the tone shift happened at the perfect point in the film. Nothing overstayed its welcome and nothing felt rushed. Even though this is a super basic and lighthearted film, I feel like more films nowadays could take note. Hoes. Attention was KEPT! (partially because its so short)

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

I must first say that I love getting to watch films that have been on my watchlist for years. This one was pretty good and worth the acclaim that it has gotten, Kumail absolutely stole the show and had fantastic chemistry and banter with Zoe as Emily throughout the film.

The direction was unexpected in a great way, I like the bond that ultimately formed between Kumail and Emily's parents, Beth and Terry while attempting to navigate the emotional turmoil of their situation. Her parents were honestly a hoot, though you know me and I don't ever rock with a cheating plotline! So that cuddle in the bed toward the end was unnecessary. He should've gone to her, not the other way around---like have a backbone.

I was honestly prepared for this to become a story about the bond that Kumail ultimately forms with her parents and didn't expect her to come out of her coma, but knowing it's loosely based on Kumail's real life, I'm very satisfied with the ending.

The depiction of strong cultural differences was my favorite part of the film, though I'm not Pakistani, I saw so many similarities between the dynamic Kumail and his mother reflected with my own. It was a strong moment when Kumail called out his parents.

satisfied.

One of the most visually beautiful films that I've seen in a long time. This is the second Yorgos Lanthimos film that I've seen and he's quickly becoming a director that I'll keep an eye on. His way of almost experimental storytelling is fascinating to me.

It took me a bit to get into at first honestly, only because those surrounding Bella had such predatory type of behavior towards her, but she develops quickly and beautifully. Her finding herself paired with her view of the world expanding and changing throughout the film was executed perfectly. Highly recommend.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

After seeing that this film won a couple of awards at Sundance the year that it premiered, I just knew I had to watch it. It was also the first film of Damien Chazelle's that I saw and was absolutely captivated by it. Would love to see more from him in of muscial-esque type films, he knocks it out of the park every time. Seriously one of my favorite directors despite having quite a short filmography.

Anyways---just had to show this one to the boys. One of the best parts of this film is that it's evident that Miles Teller is playing the drums as Andrew and doesn't have a stand in. That's what takes away from a lot of musical films for me, is when you can tell that it's a stand-in or that they're not playing on time. Such a great soundtrack too, love Whiplash and Caravan. Upswingin' gets a special mention.

J.K. Simmons is a savage as always, almost worse than I him being lol. Andrew's solo at the end is still amazing to me. 5 stars every time. Makes me want to pick up the sticks again!

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

Why did I think this came out in the early 2000s? Also how did I not know that this film had such a star-studded cast? I'm absolutely gagged!

The pacing in the first 20-30 minutes until Ali has her moment after Nikki's ugly ass decides to ruin things was a bit fast. It amused me though, like Ali really went for what she wanted and ended up in LA so fast! Crazy girl. Also you couldn't have me cheering for Jack and Ali to get together, even if they're both hot. Their dynamic was cute until you realize this man is literally engaged and waited til it was over (for only HOURS) to jump on the girl living with him... I don't even want to talk about it!

Loved Miss Tess! Miss drama queen, right up there with the rest of the girls. Everyone in this is hot, so I'm satisfied. Also Queen Christina and Cher both have incredible voices... gagged!

Really enjoyed this one. The soundtrack as always, was on point. I feel like this film throws some curveballs in of what actually happens versus what you expect, so I was pleased that I didn't leave the theater absolutely shattered.

Nebula, Mantis, and Drax were standouts for me. Nebula has just had such great character development throughout her time in the MCU and remains my favorite character. I'm sad to see the original Guardians separated, but am glad many are finding who they truly are and where they belong. 

I'm not even gonna lie, I was rushing so if there was a second end credits thing, I didn't see it 😂 But I hope to see at least some of them again in the future.

How did I ever have a preference to Friends with Benefits over this one? Though the overall idea is the same, this film just feels so much more cozy, lived in, and like a true romantic comedy. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher have such great and palpable chemistry.

This film is also how I discovered one of my favorite bands, Phoenix. Girlfriend eats! Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a top tier album!

Also got to give credit to such a great cast. Jake Johnson, Greta Gerwig, Ludacris, Olivia Thirlby, and so many more! Didn't realize how many from this film I'd go on to love later in their careers.

Def a favorite of mine and a comfort film. I feel Miss Emma's plight that she has throughout the film.

Honestly went into this completely blind and was still surprised by almost everything that happened. My favorite of the three was definitely the first story, though the others were equally as interesting. The cinematography of the first one was just extremely satisfying.

This review may contain spoilers.

I'm not gonna lie, this one had me on the edge of my seat. Love to see Dean Norris in anything, so I'm sad his character got the chop. Jason Bateman also did really great in his role and was a satisfying antagonist---I'd listen to the man do some ASMR.

To be honest, I didn't really feel the chemistry between Ethan and Nora. I love their actors, but for obvious reasons they didn't get a ton of screen time together and that really took away from it for me. The film also gets the satisfying Hallmark ending, with Ethan ing the Force and everything turning out happy ever after.

I'm not 100% complaining about it, but it would've been satisfying to have another character that wasn't my boy Dean Norris' and the antagonist die. A little predictable and made the ending a bit corny for me. At least the suspense wasn't too predictable.

Still a very unique premise and fun! I'd recommend watching.

What a fun film! I thoroughly enjoyed this choice from CAURDI. It was silly and a bit frustrating at times, but my boy Del, as idiotic as he is, held it down! Really a solid character. Neal was a total ass, but came around near the end. I shed a single tear for Del.

Neal's wife's screen time was just her tossing and turning in bed which had me dead 😂

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

Wanted to go for something more lighthearted and silly tonight. This was a big comfort film for me back when it first came out alongside No Strings Attached, and watching it back now it still held up as being pretty fun. It's been on my mind since I saw it on Netflix a couple weeks ago...

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis had fun chemistry, but Mila absolutely carried. I loved getting the vibe of NYC, alongside all of the cameos from different actors. It's obviously not too serious of a film, but the heavier moments hit well and miss Mila does her thing.

Would honestly watch again.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

I love getting to watch films I've always heard about. If these hoes didn't show me this, I honestly would've never have watched it myself. Truly not even sure what I expected, but it wasn't this. Consider me PLEASANTLY SURPRISED :o

Edward himself was an interesting character, he was honestly adorable and I think Johnny Depp played him pretty well. The film was pretty kooky and comedic which was fun, I honestly thought it was going to be a straight up horror. Winona Ryder ate too, always love seeing her in films.

Enjoyed the set design and his SHRUBS, Mr. Scissorhands ATE!

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

While I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, I honestly don't it at all. I feel the film captured the early 2000s perfectly with the corny dialogue and extra ass soundtrack. Probably ate this up when it first came out.

Sweet little Taylor was probably the best part of this film for me, he was adorable and it made no sense how he looked nothing like the rest of his family. The random little redheaded brother, LMAO. Chelsea was a terrible actress. Her line delivery and facial expressions were honestly too much for me, it was more amusing than anything. I mean look at her extra ass expression in the poster of this review!

Also wish I had a dollar for every time the word "vampire" was said in this film. Bruh. I'd be rich!

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

With our love for queen Kathryn Newton at an all time high, I had to pull this film out again to show the babes because it was a fun time when I first checked it out.

While everything is very fun after Millie and the Butcher switch bodies, I do still feel that Vince Vaughn is the biggest highlight of the film. Him taking on Millie's mannerisms and character was honestly super funny. Kathryn did amazing as well, but she's just playing a psycho killer, so there's just not as much depth and fun with her.

Still a fun film though and I enjoyed seeing her friends characters become a more developed after they teamed up with Millie as the Butcher.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

This film is not what I expected at all, and I mean that in the best way possible. I mean girl, going from having Claire and Norman being little freaks in the sheets, trying to out-sex their neighbors to THAT? Insane! Cinema at it's PEAK. When I read the title, I thought it meant what lies beneath those sheets and OOP- it's his MUTHAFUCKIN' D*CK.

I've always loved Michelle Pfeiffer despite not having seen her in too many films. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Hairspray and she ate up in that. What a lovely contrast to her role there. The daughter that went away in the beginning of the film had zero significance, like she really only served to have Claire drop her, 'empty nest syndrome' line, lmao.

Oh, and all of my potential theories were absolutely incorrect. I DID however have a bad feeling about Norman after the random ass commercial break transitions started popping up about halfway through the film. What was that sudden choice in editing? Was it like this in the theater?

Anyways. Look at the man in the poster on this review. Not to be trusted. Over and muthafuckin' OUT.

🎥 FILM NITE WITH THE BABES 🎥

After what felt like years, finally finished up season two with the babes. This season was a pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't sure how I felt within the first couple episodes, but the final few were very suspenseful and really pulled me in.

The set design, wardrobe and special effects were on point this season. I always loved getting to travel through the different timelines. I loved Ke Huy Quan this season, he always does so well in his roles and brings such enthusiasm to his characters.

Curious to see where Loki goes from here...
