Black Widow
(2021)

Well done!
The only problem I had with it was the VFX. Some action sequences were too unbelievable. With that said, the fighting scenes were great, unlike anything I've seen in a while. There were some surprises, which was nice. And Pugh?! Jesus she's awesome. Like, how did I not know about her. I'm glad Black Widow wasn't overly feminine or sexual. Also, it had some perfectly timed humor. Well done!

Promising Young Woman
(2020)

How Real and Relevant....
.... I don't know what would need to happen for me to give it 10 stars, but regardless, this film was sublime. Maybe it lacked one star because this is a topic altogether? In any case, I went through every range of emotion watching this film, and I'm not mad about it. The theme, the music, the acting, it's place in pop culture, the wardrobe (sans the nurse fit), was very cunning and witty. Everything just fit. It was relevant. And that's disgusting. And superb.

Set It Up
(2018)

Super cute...
.... there were definitely some places where it could've been funnier, but overall I enjoyed it. It was super distracting at the end when all the passerby's were staring, obviously meaning they couldn't afford to block side walks and hire extras. The Positive: I found myself smiling long after scenes had ended. Definitely a feel good movie.

Tomb Raider
(2018)

I can't think of a good reason to watch this....
.....The only thing that's good about this film is Vikander's acting. I actually feel bad for her. I couldn't imagine being so talented and working so hard to become this character and then have to work with crappy scripts and story development.

It was incredibly predictable at times and cliche. When I look back at certain scenes, I wonder what the point was (like the beginning scenes, pointless). And the music! What the hell?! The score is supposed to create emotion and bring the scenes to life, but this music was rather very obvious and at times in appropriate.

This was just a huge disappointment.
