Silicon Valley sn 5 starts today. I cackled just reading the first episode title: “Grow Fast or Die Slow”. Good time to be alive. And Atlanta got that ‘Malaika’ song for the end credits, what’s up with that…
Ok. To the movies!
1. All the Money in the World

I thought Kevin Spacey was in it. Turns out he was replaced. Still good movie.
EDIT: Fuck that trailer. I just now watched it. The first trailer with Kevin Spacey was more accurate about what the movie really is.
2. Small Town Crime

Once it stops being about an alcoholic ex-cop and starts being a detective story it gets really interesting. I liked it a lot.
3. I Kill Giants

I saw the poster for this movie and assumed it’s an adventure/fantasy picture. About fifteen minutes into the movie I realize it’s actually about a girl who escapes harsh reality and goes into her own (fantasy) world of self-deception. I readjusted and decided to just fly with it. Turns out it’s actually a really good movie. That, despite the punch to the gut it delivers at the end.
Another, gut punching movie is Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.
AOB
Pyewacket: This movie breaks new ground for the horror genre. It sets… no am kidding. It doesn’t. It’s a horror flick: either a creepy house, or a creepy doll, or a creepy forest, or a creepy demon that communicates through little girls. I don’t consider mad-man-with-axe horror. They are dumb.
It’s not scary at all. If fact it’s pretty slow, but, it’s the better than most horrors released this year.
Maze Runner: The Death Cure is also an option. I watched the last one, didn’t like very much so I’ll skip this one. There’s Proud Mary. I saw the trailer for this one and I’ll be skipping it. Action movies aren’t really my thing. It looks like John Wick (which I did not like very much) but without the lifetime supply of free bullets.
Currently watching Roxanne Roxanne. It’s very meh.
