Aronofsky isn't known for subtlety, so what starts out as late-period Luis Bunuel-style "Have I gone crazy or has everyone else gone crazy?" absurdist farce eventually flash-segues to psychological-thriller to surrealist sensory-overload.

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
Geek
Bob Chipman
All dropped into a thoroughly ordinary-looking jungle environment with the palette of a dreary network drama and all the stylistic flourish of a sedan commercial; like bare fluorescent bulbs humming at full brightness in an otherwise bare beige room.

Overlord
Geek

I won't lie and say that the current state of the world hasn't made good, old-fashioned Nazi-blasting even more entertaining than it used to be; but the bottom line is that Overlord is [as good as] movies like this get.

Rampage

As giant monster movies go, it's pretty damn terrific and [it's far and away] the best video game movie ever made - certainly the best since Silent Hill 12 years ago and Mortal Kombat 23 years ago.

When Rogue One is following the "cool and different" edict, that's when it's awesome

Sausage Party
Geek
Bob Chipman
It is, simply stated, piss-your-pants funny - both in that I laughed almost hard enough to do that and in that it's the sort of humor where "pissing your pants" would be an actual punchline.

Like a lot of Johnson's second-tier vehicles, it feels a little bit like something that's supposed to look like a "grown-up" movie, but the target audience is really closer to 8 year-olds.

Sorry to Bother You
Geek
Bob Chipman
Possessed of manic energy like everyone involved thought they'd never be allowed to make another one after this so they'd better get it all out of their system this time. A brain-melting yet spirit-cleansing blast of righteous originality.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Yup. Marvel actually made Sony release a whole movie about the hero of their "their" superhero franchise begging Robert Downey Jr. to please, pretty-please, let him be in more of the Avengers movies.

Suicide Squad
Geek

[Feels] all at once like an irritating wallow in the paint-huffing waste-of-skin teenage version of anarchic excess and the infuriatingly fake, phony, mass-market corporate co-opting of the paint-huffing waste-of-skin teenage version of anarchic excess.

A frustratingly incomplete half-measure overall, however understandable the sense that it might've been something more must have felt back in Park City. That final shot, though... damn, that really is something.
