Madame Web (2024)
S.J deserves another crack at it.
I tell anyone with ears that if a film has more than 2 writers, it's a recipe for confusion and tragedy. Too many opinions in the pre-production aspect of a film (including studio heads asking for changes) can become overwhelming and creatively stifle the team before the first day of filming even begins. I get it. Studios get in the way, especially for novice directors and writers.
As usual, the recent fad is to trash movies that truly aren't that terrible.
That being said, this film has it's merits.
The score, editing, coloring (ha, yes) were all on point. I streamed it, so I wasn't pissed about the loss of any money.
The script is a broken toy that still keeps moving. The lines are generic and gives NOTHING for the actors to find. Whatever happened to OBJECTIVE, TACTIC, NEED, DESIRE, THE HUMAN CONDITION, etc.. We have to be careful because we start losing the meaning of WHY we care with these superhero movies and it all goes out the window.
The movie moves at a nice speed. The girls are talented but should've been teenagers (not Sydney dressed up to look like one), allowing us more empathy for Cassie as she (spoiler) "adopts" them as her own.
Ezekiel is weak casting. Does he have followers or something?
The team deserves a 2nd shot. Sequel? Eh. Possibly.
Mean Girls (2024)
VERY confused as to bad ratings.
Okay so listen, what is everyone needing anymore? What truly deserves a 9 or a 10 anymore? Oppenheimer? Barbie? Why, because the academy told us to be obsessed with it?
Technically, this movie delivered. What they achieved with the long takes and the musical elements with the camera motivation was flawless. People talk about the lack of direction clearly don't know what it takes to direct a movie, especially with this precision.
The script is the same as before (still works) and the characters worked. Was my mind blown? No, but my god -Auli'i...she's perfect. She will be a top contender the older she gets. She's getting better and better. And she couldn't be more beautiful.
The directors carried us from moment to moment conciously aware of the twitter thumbed, short attention span scrolling target audience and MOVED THE STORY LIKE A TRAIN ON FIRE.
I didn't get bored once. I giggled a few times and laughed out loud a few times.
A super enjoyable movie to enjoy from the comfort of your own home.

Well written, well driven, excellent episode
This episode is sharp and refreshing. The lighting to this show is always exact. Good team.
"What the heaven?" kills me every time. I love it.
Good direction, clever script with a wonderful ensemble.
