Dead Poets Society
I hadnât seen this one before, and Netflix had it (and didnât have what I originally wanted to watch ) so I finally checked it out. Gotta say that I had difficulty keeping track of which of the many characters was which.
I dunno about the irony of the film, as Robin Williamsâ character subverts school conventions in order to make his students âfree thinkersâ, even though he himself became a free thinker while subject to those same school conventions?
âŚKurtwood Smith basically playing the iconic Red Foreman (mixed with Ted âTheodoreâ Loganâs dad lol) 9 years in advance was fun to look back at though, since I saw That 70s Show before this film.
This was kinda disappointing. Not âhorrible, dumpster fireâ disappointing; I enjoyed it, but still kinda felt a âmehâ at the end.
The Meg
I dunno, it wasnât bad, but it wasnât great either. With a little polish, (eg: better pacing) it couldâve kept pace with JW:Fallen Kingdom. Despite being about a murderous megalodon, it was still more kid-friendly than Ready Player One, which weirdly enough had saltier language than The Meg, a movie literally set at sea.
I believe that all the reviews that I saw of the film have overrated the film, but Jason Statham is cool (competent male protag in 2018? Dai Shoku! ) so I guess I canât fault 'em too much
