cookie Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Fatal Rendezvous ...I'm a sucker for @4815162342 crime movies, I will admit. And this is no different. Seriously, this was rad. Very Shane Black-esque in a few spots despite one of the Nolans directing, and that to me is always a good sign. Downey is slimy in the way only Downey can be, Ruffalo is likable, Pierce is surprisingly intense and for as little as Pacino has he leaves a lasting impression. There are nitpicks I can make, such as a few plot holes and the fact that Downey skimps out on the third act, but they are just that, nitpicks. I mean it's not the best movie of the year but it's one of them. A- 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 My Peoples Opening short Clayboy: Probably the best one Endless Animation's done so far mainly because of the artistry at play. Movie: Not sure what changed or if I just warmed up to it but it's way better than I remember the pre-read version being. I guess it's because Angel bailing felt more justified this time around and Elgin and Rose aren't just Romeo and Juliet archetypes. Couple that with some very sweet songs this is Endless Animation's strongest work yet and a fine outing for Valentine's. B+ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Kim Possible I'm very much familiar with the series (used to watch it all the time on the Disney Channel back in grade school) so I didn't have any trouble following it but starting by adaptating the (intended) series finale is a confusing choice all things considered. It's not like Bounty Hamster started with the pair already out adventuring in space, or Voltron starting with Rise of Lotor. You're just leaving anyone unfamiliar with the series totally lost. In addition, the movie makes a MAJOR casting fuck up by having 16-year old Sophia Lillis date 25-year old Stony Blyden for most of the movie. I know the character isn't supposed to be that old (and turns out to be a robot later) but somebody should've checked this stuff at least. But Dafoe and Gillian are ideal casting as Drakken and Shego (they were always my favorite part of the show) so it's not all bad. Plus if you do know the show it hits all the beats it needs to.
