Tickled, 2016

I had to rewatch this before watching the new “The Tickle King” short film follow-up. If you thought things got weird during the original film’s production wait until you see what happened at the film screenings! I have a feeling this is far from over…

Moonlight, 2016

One of the rare times I wish a movie was longer. Usually I am begging them to be over with. I feel that all 3 stories could have used a little more time to learn more about Chiron.

Passengers, 2016

I know most reviewers dumped all over this movie when it came out, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Lawrence and Pratt are likable enough to pull even the thinest plot off.

Doctor Strange, 2016

A visual treat for sure, but you can really notice the usual Marvel origin story template at work. Strange’s mean steak and flat humor were a bit odd.

The Founder, 2016

I think the movie was trying to make you root for Ray Kroc. All I came away with was feeling sad for the McDonald brothers.

Split, 2016

This review may contain spoilers. I loved the idea of Shyamalan hiding a movie within another movie. The little capper with Bruce Willis tying this movie into the Unbreakable universe was cool, but that one scene couldn’t hide the fact that Casey’s story just wasn’t satisfyingly wrapped up.
