65
Ya know how sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and you think to yourself, “wow this is going to be terrible, I can’t wait to see it”? Well that was my exact thought process when I saw the trailer for 65 starring Adam Driver. We never got around to seeing it in the theaters but now that it's on Netflix we are finally diving in. Doing any dinosaur movie after the existence of Jurassic Park is super bold but here we go, my review of 65.

The Boy and the Heron. Top Story - December 2023.
Ever since watching My Neighbor Totoro with my husband I have been in love with Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies. When we heard that Miyazaki would be coming out with (yet another) final movie we both got very excited. The Boy and the Heron is a truly horrendous title for this movie but other than that it feels like the ultimate culmination of Miyazaki’s career and legacy.

Is Google's new AI model Gemini truly superior to ChatGPT?
While both models are examples of "generative AI," which learns to find patterns of input training information to generate new data (pictures, words, or other media), ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) that focuses on producing text. Google Deepmind recently announced Gemini, its new AI model to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Infinity Pool
There is a history of horror movies getting undervalued by awards season. Last year one in particular that drew attention was Mia Goth and her performance in Pearl. The movie as a whole was absolutely snubbed as its quality could most definitely go toe to toe with anything nominated last year. But we will have a more in depth discussion on that later. Pearl won me over and I will now watch anything that stars Mia Goth. Which brings me to Infinity Pool. I am now presenting my formal review for Mia Goth’s latest appearance, Infinity Pool.

Superman and Batman: Public Enemies (Graphic Novel)
Superman and Batman: Public Enemies is a graphic novel adaptation of an animated film. I haven't seen the film yet, but I picked up the book at Goodwill, and it was in surprisingly good condition. The artwork was dark and swirly, sometimes hard for the eye to take in, or discern exactly what was going on, panel for panel (and the artwork often broke free here and splashed across the page). No one in the comics industry seemingly thought about the plight of the nearsighted when creating their books; at least not in this era, and they really should have. All of their fans are bespectacled, pre-diabetic Simpsons characters who opine that this, that, and the third is the "Worst [fill in the blank] ever!"

Godzilla Minus One
So we went to see Godzilla Minus One. Now this was my first Godzilla movie ever, I was going in with absolutely no context or history. I went into this movie the same way I’m sure a lot of Americans did, ready for a monster movie. The trailer also kind of hyped up that angle. So I went in ready to watch Godzilla tear some shit up. What I was not ready for was a heartfelt story about a man finding the will to live, commentary on survivor's guilt and the devastations of war and the power of forgiveness.

"Singin' in the Rain: A Timeless Classic That Continues to Captivate Audiences"
"Singin' in the Rain" is a timeless classic that has captivated audiences for decades with its infectious energy, captivating performances, and memorable musical numbers. As a fan of the film, I can't help but be drawn to its charm and the way it transports me to the golden age of Hollywood. The movie's ability to blend humor, romance, and dazzling dance sequences is a testament to its enduring appeal.

My Review of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny"
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the latest Indiana Jones adventure that was released in 2023. Yes, you heard that right it came out in 2023. I didn't think we'd get another one when the last one was supposed to be the last. I guess you can never say never.

My Review of "Spider-Man (2002)"
Spider-Man (2002) kicked off a long line-up of superhero movies. I remember it ushering in another superhero renaissance. Though I see the groundwork from older superhero movies in this movie as well. Back when this first came out it was such a revelation. Watching this again over 20 years later still gives me great enjoyment and a resurgence of old memories.

Dream Scenario
Okay so Nicholas Cage has a new movie out. Now at this point we should know that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan. I think 90% of his filmography is absolute garbage and that he is one of the most overrated, below mediocre actors of all time. On the other hand this latest film, Dream Scenario, is also a product of A24. And they have only disappointed me once, their track record is fantastic. So we are combining one of my all time favorite sources of films with one of the things I hate the most about film. So here is my full review of Dream Scenario.
