FF+ Merry Little Batman

Posted on by Aaron White.

Damian Wayne, at his most adorable ever, tries to save Christmas from a classic rouges gallery of Batman villains in order to prove to his father that he’s ready for superhero work. Though aimed at kids and with a definite Saturday morning cartoon tone, this Batman super fan found plenty to enjoy and was left wanting more after a ridiculously fun reference-filled holiday romp.

FF+ Leave the World Behind

Posted on by Aaron White.

This adaptation is a pretty solid end-of-the-world mystery thriller with a strong sense of dread throughout that does leave some room for discussion afterward and is a nice way to reflect on society’s current reliance on electronic information flow and the way we typically approach interpersonal relationships, but there is nothing shocking or exceptional enough about this story or its characters to make it stand out as special among its apocalyptic peers.

FF+ Wonka

Delightful and delicious. While Chalamet’s singing isn’t up to par, he still embodies the whimsical nature of the famous candy creator. There’s so much joy and hilarity in this prequel and it feels like a perfect companion piece to Gene Wilder’s original.

Episode 391: Suzume

Posted on by Aaron White.

While full of the stunning visual style that we love about Makoto Shinkai’s work, the director’s attempt at blending Miyazaki-like fantasy and his typical themes of young romance and time travel don’t quite coalesce. We appreciate the exploration of national grief over natural disasters and enjoy elements of the road trip journey Suzume goes on, but as a whole this left us wanting more and not wowed as we have been with many of his previous films.

FF+ American Fiction

Posted on by Aaron White.

Way more drama than comedy, but the satire can be biting, even if it is rendered less effective by perhaps coming too late. Sadly, it’s underwhelming how all of the family issues sub-plots don’t feel like they coalesce strongly with the main story point and take up most of the runtime. A solid film with strong performances but my experience with this overall was just fine – nothing close to revelatory or emotionally stirring.

FF+ Silent Night

Posted on by Aaron White.

John Woo returns to American cinema after twenty years with a revenge film that features no dialogue and a surprisingly emotional story. The action is solid, though unspectacular, but the film’s overall balance of melodrama and underdog ass-kicking combined with a fantastic score and sound design makes for a successful reunion between the director and fans.

FF+ Saltburn

Posted on by Aaron White.

A lower class Oxford student stumbles into the good graces of a wealthy classmate he adores and eventually spends a summer at his family’s opulent estate. Not all is as it seems, though. At times deliciously campy and twisted, and at others painfully simplistic and melodramatic, the story plays out much how you’ll expect, with provocation after provocation attempting to distract from the obvious lack of substance. Very much a love it or hate it affair by the end, but my goodness is it pretty to look at it regardless.

Episode 390: Gran Turismo

Posted on by Aaron White.

For our conversation this week about Sony’s newest (and perhaps boldest) film adaptation of the beloved simulation racing video game series, we called in our friends Logan and Micah from The Reformed Gamers Podcast. Neill Blomkamp’s film incorporates many of the tropes we are familiar with in sports dramas while balancing reverence for the exciting video game that spawned this incredible story and still managing to succeed at pulling the right heart strings.

FF+ Wish

Posted on by Aaron White.

Disney’s delightful newest fairy tale pits a teenage girl and a friendly wishing star against the controlling ruler of a utopian kingdom. It’s not quite as magical as their best stories, though, and instead finds its biggest strength in valuable social commentary.

FF+ Napoleon

Posted on by Aaron White.

Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding, though he exaggerates Napoleon so much at times that the film feels like pure comedy, which can be somewhat tonal whiplash when compared to the brutality of the gorgeously shot large-scale battles. What is blatantly clear is that this is not the movie Ridley Scott intended, as it’s noticeably choppy; but hey, at least we’ll get the full 4-hour experience eventually thanks to Apple TV+.
