The Accountant (4/29/24)

 The Accountant


    Honestly, this movie was not as good as I thought it would be. It was kind of boring. The movie was about an accountant who makes money from criminal organizations who is also a trained killer. The only thing I really liked about this movie is the sequencing of events. I like how the movie starts with an intense scene that is from another characters memory. It is one of the movies where we know the background and it goes further into detail as the story progresses. I also thought this movie was hard to follow. I don't know if it was just me but it seemed like it constantly flipped what was happening and many of the dialogue scenes seemed like it was trying to pass time and it was completely useless. I was super excited to watch and now I am kind of sad that it wasn't that good. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone nor would I watch it again.

    Brody, you gotta try some older stuff. I know you might not immediately like them, but there's some amazing stuff out there.

Revenge of the Sith (1/22/24)

  Revenge of the Sith Revenge of the Sith is often called the greatest of the Star Wars movies and I agree. I first watched this movie when I was around twelve and I loved it because of the duels and constant action. I have watched this movie several times and every time I watch it again as I get older and more knowledgeable, I get a deeper understanding of the plot, politics, and deep emotions that are in this movie. When you watch this movie, you can see how many themes and ideas are similar to today. Betrayal and corruption are big themes in this movie. This movie can also resemble life for some people. Losing loved ones, being betrayed by trusted peers, and manipulation by mentors are common in this film and it shows how these things can destroy someone's life. Anakin's corruption by Chancellor Palpatine is a great example of this. Due to Palpatine corrupting Anakin, he caused Obi Wan to lose his apprentice who he loved like a brother (Anakin), and many good friends (Jedi O

Need for Speed

  Need  for Speed     Need for Speed, starring Aaron Paul, is a car enthusiast movie with tons of street racing and running from the police. I liked this movie a lot and would have to put it in my top five of all time. I am a huge car enthusiast so this movie was appealing to me. This car movie is especially different from the others because it is not generic like Fast and Furious where there are just guns, explosion, and non stop action. Need for Speed is purely racing. Aside from the exotic hyper cars they obtained for their movies, I also thought the camera work during the racing scenes were shot very well. There were several angles that were used and I loved the angle that was at eye level with the car. This movie was fabulous and I am excited to watch the second one.

Scream VI

Scream VI     The infamous masked killer comes back for round six in the city of New York. Filled with a compelling movie, Ghostface is relentless to slice up the Carpenter sisters along with everyone who gets in his way. Scream VI was arguably the best sequel in the Scream franchise. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I have not watched many horror movies but the Scream movies are the exception. These movies are filled with action and they are not that scary. I really enjoyed the new energy that this film brought to the franchise. The Ghostface in Scream VI was much more brutal than the Ghostface's in past movies. This movie also had the intense scenes where you know a jump scare is coming and there are several fake outs with certain camera angles that make it even more scary. Scream VI also has a really good rack focus shot in the bodega scene. I think that the camera work is what makes these movies so entertaining to watch. i would watch this movie again without hesitation.
