| 説明 | July's almost coming to a close, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on a few new films that I was able to catch in the past week or two!Sorry to Bother You -This movie was so fucking weird... So we need more movies like this, please! Now although I felt the base storyline to be a little average and slightly clichéd, everything else that surrounds this film is so different and so unique that it was such a visceral experience to watch. Not to mention the layers and layers of important social commentary that was packed into the movie that made the experience even more insightful. When weird has a purpose and drives a message like it did in this movie, it clicks for me; and let me tell ya, this movie SO DAMN WEIRD. I'm so glad I wasn't spoiled about anything going into this movie, if you plan on seeing this, go in as blind as you can. There was one surprise that just made this film my kind of weird movie, and once it happened I was all in! I'm so excited to see where Boots Riley's career's going to go, but I'm not gonna lie that first thing I thought when walking out of this movie was Boots Riley for an Earthbound movie PLEASE.Score: 8.5/10Three Identical Strangers -2018 has been an absolutely excellent year for documentaries, and this film is no exception! The emotional journey that this film takes you through is absolutely incredible. The way how this story starts off with these triplets finding each other is fairytale-like and becomes such a fee-good flick. But as these brothers grow older and discover what truly happened to them, things become so sinister, tragic, but extremely fanscinating. I definitely recommend going into this film knowing absolutely nothing about these brothers and their story because it makes the film all the more visceral and engaging.Score: 8/10Hearts Beat Loud -The saving grace of this movie is that NICK OFFERMAN DEADASS PERFORMS OCEAN MAN BY WEEN. I had absolutely zero expectations going into Hearts Beat Loud. I had my Movie Pass and this was the only film I could use it with (since I've used my Movie Pass for every other film) at my local independent theater, so I decided to give it a shot with the only piece of information in my head being the poster. This is such a tricky film for me, Hearts Beat Loud is one of those great feel-good movies with excellent music and performances, but I felt if this film was written as a 45 minute short film with extended sequences of the main characters just making and playing songs. They're good songs, but it overall dragged the pace of the film down for me. I would recommend seeing this film, it has great performances and music, but I just found the story to be so shallow and drawn out. Perhaps if Nick Offerman sang Ocean Man by Ween more in this film I would've enjoyed it more...Score: 6.5/10The Death of Superman -Man, it's been a while since a DC animated film's been this good! The Death of Superman is a near perfect adaptation of the classic comic. The film is packaged with all the action and emotion that the original has, with some welcomed additions including the Justice League. While I must say I'm getting pretty tired of this bland art style and character designs in these newer DC animated movies, really hope DC ditches this bland art style soon for something a big more vibrant and stylized to the genre because their storylines do deserve better. But I must say the animation took a big leap in quality and became very cinematic and anime-like once the fight against Doomsday begun! I'm interested to see where this story goes with the Rein of the Superman, but I'm also fine with this film standing on its own. Let's hope DC fixes their animation problem but keeps this film's quality in storytelling!Score: 8/10If you have seen any of these films, let me know what you thought of them in the comments below!If you like these mini reviews, I upload these almost EVERY DAY, both old and new movies, on my Letterboxd account!
