Bob's Burgers: Amelia (2023)
Hardly a Bob's Burgers episode
Every character acts out of character for the entirety of this episode. They introduce loads of subplots and side characters who do nothing to develop the story and are not interesting or funny. It feels entirely unearned when louise is giving her report at the end, I can't remember a single joke and I learned nothing. This was the best show on TV a few seasons ago, apparently the writing has done a nosedive. I honestly can't remember a single joke or chuckle I got from this one in it's entirety- and while there have been episodes that were kind of snoozers, this one was very haughty and tried it's best to be some kind of wes anderson movie. Worst Bob's Burgers episode I have ever seen.
Alex's War (2022)
Pretty Astounding
Encapsulating this guy into one movie is a huge feat, this film accomplished it. It meanders a bit in the middle and probably could have been 20 minutes shorter or 20 minutes longer, but it never left me bored or feeling left in the dark. The story is among the most American tales ever told- a man builds a media empire himself based on patriotism and often unhinged devotion to questioning and conspiracy. His evolution takes a toll and he clearly has physically and mentally been through a journey. I enthusiastically recommend it.
The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020)
Christmas is ruined
A bi-polar script and cardboard acting make this CGI toystore that they called a movie into the most embarrassing affair that everybody who made this has ever been involved it. On the plus side I haven't been so proud to be Jewish in years.
