Thelma The Unicorn
As we approach the end of the year, every media journalist has to ask themselves what films should be on Oscar watch. Well for the animated film category the options are a little thin this year. That could be said for every category because of the astonishing effects of the duel strike last year, there really aren’t that many new films this year at all. That said, there were a few animated films released so far this year. Most were produced by streaming services. So we are going to visit Netflix’s Thelma and the Unicorn.

Rebel Moon Part 2
So I really hated Rebel Moon. It was a perfect example of all the reasons why Zach Snyder is a terrible filmmaker. I love Gail Simone and I know that she liked it but even geniuses make mistakes. Rebel Moon was terribly paced, hollow and a cheap Star Wars rip off made by someone who doesn’t understand even the most basic of filmmaking structures and techniques. The slow motion is tired and overused and I would love to dare him to write just one character with some depth to them. Anyway he is so incapable of storytelling that he can’t contain his shitty original ideas to 2 hours so we all have to endure a second part to this garbage. So here we go, Rebel Moon part 2…

Tarot
I am a huge horror movie fan but only in the fall. I think releasing horror films into theaters any other time of the year inherently sets them up for failure. But then they get put on streaming services where I can enjoy them at my leisure so here we are. Netflix now houses Tarot, one of the horror films that was needlessly released earlier this year. My bar for horror films is pretty high so let’s see how this compares.

So let’s go into The Idea of You from Prime Video.

Love Lies Bleeding
We have talked about the rise in lesbian media and how it is greatly appreciated and deeply necessary. Among those new titles are Love Lies Bleeding, one of the newest A24 films. Now I knew I wanted to see this movie, because ya know representation. But I will also have to wrestle with the fact that I am really not a fan of Kristen Stewart. As a person or as an actress. She did work with Woody Allen which is already a big, huge red flag. And honestly I just don’t think she’s that talented. She peeked at Twilight. All that said, I am finally watching it, so let’s get into it.
