Movie
Barbie: Not For All Ages
An explosion of pink and feminism, of equality that might be truly equal one day. Filled with inappropriate jokes and nostalgia, this is not your daughter’s Barbie movie. So please, do not bring your young children to this movie and then complain about it; it is rated PG-13, after all.

"The Lighthouse", a bite-sized critique. Second Place in Critique Challenge.
At the A24 logo: your eyes roll, mine light up. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are weird, gross, old-timey men. They're perfect. It gets trippy; a love letter to Weird fiction. The end, an allusion, on the nose. Call me pretentious, it's right up my alley. I own the Blu-Ray.

The Exorcist
Youngster Linda Blair effectively portrays tortured Irish Catholic preadolescent Reagan MacNeill in the movie “The Exorcist”. Diabolically set, close to the America’s governing heartbeat the domestic sacramental war pitting priests against evil forces rocks both furniture and mind as possession crosses the line, leaving the audience wanting guilty pleasure forgiveness.

Skinamarink
Would you like to see two hours of ankles, door frames, and ceilings? If you answered yes, Skinamarink is the movie for you. Never in my life have I watched such an awful movie, and I’ve seen Christmas Vacation 2, so that’s really saying something. This horror movie is horrible.

The Incredibles
In the 1940s Bob Incredible was living life as a superhero in his city until a mishap changed his life and pretty much his prespective. This animated film shows this how a family bonds through being superheroes and overcoming their problems to defeat an unknown threat. And through his training Bob becames who is he again.

Jaws
June 1975. Millions of moviegoers flooded theaters. They clung to their seats, startled as a big Godzilla-style shark incited bigger fear. A young Steven Spielberg directed part monster thriller, part deadly chase. It does for ocean water what Hitchcock’s “Psycho” did for showers.

Aftersun (dir. Charlotte Wells)
Memories, misunderstood as crystallised time capsules trellising our pasts are anything but. Real and imagined crudely stitched. Some tactile; others soft as ghosts, likely to morph upon discovery. Both evocative, neither enough to paint someone’s lingering silhouette whole.
