4 reasons why "Me, Earl, and the dying girl" sucks big hairy ass
REVIEW ON THIS MOLDY RUBBISH: The book "Me, Earl, and the dying girl" is, supposedly, about a "dying girl" named Rachel. Written from the point of view(POV) of one of the main characters named Greg. Who is trying to get through senior year of highschool as invisible as humanly possible. If you’ve ever read the book, and you liked it, or at least saw the point of it all. I envy you. After reading at least half of it I completely tuned out, as my brain felt like it was beginning to rot. I skipped some pages ahead, in needless search of profound( or at least simiprofound) depth inside it. And of course found nothing of the sort. The worst part is I couldn't really even understand why it was I didn't like it so much. Then I skipped to the ending and read the whole page. The last four sentences being;"Maybe I should try to put her in my next film. I don't know. Honestly? I don't know what the hell I'm talking about."

My Review of "Cyrano"
Cyrano is a musical that came out in 2021. I actually didn't realize it was a musical until I started watching the movie. When they started singing I was a little weirded out. Oddly enough this movie has a lot in common with a famous movie I've seen a while ago.

The Beasts Really Are Fantastic
I don’t often do reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Partly because I just love going to the cinema and COVID put a stop to it for so long and now the cost of living crisis is doing the same. Thank goodness for Vodafone and their 2 for £7 vue vouchers allowing myself and my girlfriend to attend for peanuts. It wasn’t the perfect cinema experience, due to a friend (demoted now to associate) breaking all the basic laws of cinema etiquette. Arriving late, moving loudly, flashing torch everywhere, talking, eating loud food during quiet scenes, slurping drink and then getting up to go to the toilet AS WELL.

Review of 'Mandibles'
Quentin Dupieux will never fully escape from the legacy of his 1999 smash hit video and track "Flat Beat", which he apparently recorded in just two hours. Yet now as a bona fide film-maker he goes from strength to strength; his 2020 film Mandibles (in French Mandibules) is a quirky comedy with its own deranged logic, a "Bill and Ted go South France" if you will. A comparison which is only encouraged by the long Keanu hair of Manu (Grégoire Ludig) and the curly Alex Winter hair of Jean-Gab (David Marsais). These two reprobates are well-known in French comedy circles but new to me, since the early 2000s they have been making internet and television shows, the most famous one being Palmashow. So they work together well after years of practice and they are a perfect foil here for the Dupieux's rather unique absurdist sense of humour.

My Review of "Spider-Man: Homecoming"
Spider-Man: Homecoming is the start of the Tom Holland era of the Spider-Man franchise. I watched this movie just a little before I started writing reviews so I was startled that I didn't review this movie yet. Going back to this movie in 4k was fantastic.
