A Sacrifice
Movies this year are either a tight hour and a half or nearly 3 hours long and there doesn’t seem to be a solid in between. The problem here is that the movies that are an hour and half could benefit from being another 30 minutes long and the ones that are over 2 hours could easily cut 30 minutes. No one seems to know where their story’s sweet spot is anymore and that is just a major bummer. Now this was a short rant in response to A Sacrifice but it could be applied to just so many films this year.

Simpsons Review: "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
Amazing, isn't it? 35 years. That's a long time in anything. Funny, this whole thing started as just a few minutes at a time on a sketch comedy show. Now? It's the measuring stick. It's been the measuring stick for many years. Primetime animation may have started with William Hanna and Joseph Barbera over six decades ago, and while they set that bar, Matt Groening raised it exponentially. Over 700 episodes have aired, and it all officially began with a simple Christmas celebration.

Conclave (2024)
I wasn’t going to watch this film. The trailer hadn’t grabbed me. But then I had a free Monday afternoon and I fancied the cinema. There wasn’t much on that I hadn’t already seen and besides, I had read a few good reviews. The reviews were intriguing because alongside the praise of performances and direction, there was discussion of a plot twist.

Joker: Folie à deux
Well this is going to piss off some people and as always, I don’t care. The first Joker movie was garbage. It was not a good film, it was an even worse comic book movie. And anyone that enjoyed it is an immediate red flag. That’s why when they announced the second one I could do nothing but roll my eyes. But when they announced it was a musical I could do nothing but laugh. Because the demographic for musicals are the exact opposite of the demographic for the Joker movie. And I knew it would piss off the basement dwellers that made that film their whole personality. And boy was I right. So regardless of how this movie actually turns out, whatever quality rating I give it I know that the Joker-bros hated it and that fills me with immeasurable joy.

The Apprentice
Well folks, I watched it so that you don’t have to. Perhaps one of the most controversial movies of the year we’ve got The Apprentice starring Sebastian Stan (interesting career move there bud). Now I want to preface this by saying that I will be taking politics completely out of my review. I will be doing what I always do and analyzing the film as objectively as possible. I will not be bringing any personal feelings into this review. This is ONLY about the elements of the film.

Smile 2
Of all the films that didn’t need a sequel, this one didn't need one the most. But here we are talking about Smile 2. A sequel to a film that literally could have been one of the most brilliant horror movies of the decade if it just didn’t keep going. It fell off hard at the end of the 3rd act which leads me into this movie with skepticism. I was wildly disappointed by the first one, it was sufficiently creepy and it almost had something to say but it just kept talking. So let’s see if the second one can do what the first one didn't.
