The Bubble (2022)
A solid light comedy
What happens when a movie needs to be released really quickly after a pandemic? Something along these lines.
The script seems like it was thrown together at a drunken party and I'm here for it. I generally like Judd Apatow movies and this one's no exception. This is a fun cast and they do a great job.
The reviewers who say that this film isn't living up to its potential are missing the point. It's not oscar-worthy (or even theatre-worthy!), but it's not trying to be. Nothing here is painful to watch, just a bunch of goofiness. What's wrong with that?
There are some real nuggets of truth around attitudes and struggles during the pandemic and I'm glad it was well captured here.
Don't take it too seriously and enjoy!
Chaos Walking (2021)
Solid sci-fi
If you like apocalypse-type films, this one is a fun time.
I haven't read the books. I imagine they give the chance to go more deeply into the characters, which would have been nice.
Overall, would recommend.
Empire Records (1995)
Hard to watch
Good actors but these characters don't feel real at all. Cliché. Poorly written and contrived. I'm a fan of Dazed and Confused, but for this one, I was forcing myself to finish.
Thunder Force (2021)
Fun
This was much better than I expected. I was hoping it would entertain me and make me laugh, and it actually did. I don't think this is supposed to be genius. Just fun and cute. And it really was.
