Barbie (2023)
Entertaining if a Bit Feministic
Went into this movie knowing it'd be hilariously awkward. Robbie as Barbie and Gosling as Ken. Also a great supporting cast including Ferrell, Cena, Cera, Ferrera, Liu, McKinnon, just to name a few. It was thoroughly entertaining but a few segments were a bit too preachy on feminism, but that's to be expected when it's a Barbie movie. This film had great costume and set designs and will win Oscars for those two categories for sure. It will most likely be nominated in all the major categories. My only hope is that this destroys Mission Impossible at the box office so we can witness Barbie defeating Tom Cruise. Worth a watch and probably a re-watch once it goes up for rent digitally.
Sebastian Maniscalco: Is It Me? (2022)
He's Never Disappointed Me
Sebastian has always been a riot. I discovered his comedy at the height of the pandemic. He's on my top list of comedians. This special is hilarious, just like all his other specials. He's the most consistently funny comedian out there right now. I love how he makes fun of the overly sensitive American culture and tells it like it is. He pokes fun at everyone, which is how comedy should be. I actually had tickets for his Cincinnati show last year but decided not to go due to Covid concerns. I won't be letting Covid stop me next time he rolls into town. Watch this special and prepare to be entertained.
Bros (2022)
This Movie Had Us Rolling
I went and saw this with a friend of mine and we were both cracking up throughout the majority of the movie. Best comedy I've seen since This Is The End. I actually went hoarse from cracking up so much. Some of the references were so far out in left field but that's what made it hilarious. This is a perfect example of how to do a thoroughly entertaining comedy. It was probably 90% comedy and 10% drama. Great performances by the leads and clever writing. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets Oscar buzz. A bit sappy towards the end but that's par for the course with romcoms. I will be watching this again when it goes up for digital rent.
Uncut Gems (2019)
Howie got what he had coming to him
Great movie. Good lesson on karma reaching unlikeable people. Still had plenty of moments to laugh, but I didn't hear many other laughs coming from the rest of the audience. It may help to know about the NBA especially in 2012 but it was well worth the money. Family in front of me left about an hour into movie presumably because there is rampant profanity but to each their own. 8/10.
