Say what you need to Say
This critique is about the song "Say" by John Mayer. This song, this horrible horrible song. It feels weird to even call this a song. He says the phrase "say what you need to say" 41 times throughout this nearly 4 minute hellscape. They could torture people to this song.

"Aqualung"
"Aqualung" artfully amalgamates acoustic and amplified aspects, accentuating Anderson's adept artistry. Atonal and aggressive, album's arrangements aptly alternate, allowing Anderson's astonishingly astute and ambiguous anecdotes. Aural adventure, albeit aged, amazes and astonishes, always an admired addition, artistically advancing art rock's allure. An archetype, absolutely absorbing, an all-time affective, arresting classic.

Mister Wick
A dog story with dogs and guns galore, and more bullets than in The Matrix, all four films combined, and Keanu Reeves, of course, playing the role of Mister Wick, a wonderful killer, as he only shoots or cuts (there are also knives, swords and other killing props) worse killers.

Skinamarink
Would you like to see two hours of ankles, door frames, and ceilings? If you answered yes, Skinamarink is the movie for you. Never in my life have I watched such an awful movie, and I’ve seen Christmas Vacation 2, so that’s really saying something. This horror movie is horrible.

Jaws
June 1975. Millions of moviegoers flooded theaters. They clung to their seats, startled as a big Godzilla-style shark incited bigger fear. A young Steven Spielberg directed part monster thriller, part deadly chase. It does for ocean water what Hitchcock’s “Psycho” did for showers.

Aftersun (dir. Charlotte Wells)
Memories, misunderstood as crystallised time capsules trellising our pasts are anything but. Real and imagined crudely stitched. Some tactile; others soft as ghosts, likely to morph upon discovery. Both evocative, neither enough to paint someone’s lingering silhouette whole.
