Went to my local second-hand media store and got a good haul. Mostly films I saw in theaters already, but a few I hadn't.
Then I went home and had a hugely unproductive weekend where I watched them all with my cat. I only give reviews after a second viewing, so here they are in no particular order.
Blade Runner 2049 (Theatrical/Second Viewing): A masterful visually driven narrative that unlike, its predecessor is not bogged down by awful dialogue and a boring lead actor. Every scene is taken to its maximum length without becoming tedious, while simultaneously being just short enough that you're left wanting more. It might be cliche to say, but it far surpasses the original in every possible aspect. 8.5/10
Spider-man: Homecoming (Theatrical/Second Viewing): Don't be fooled by the Marvel moniker and typical Shared-Universe fan-service; Spider-man: Homecoming is a surprising break from tradition in comic book movies. It has a real story with real consequences to the title character, as well as actors who act like they're in a real movie, as opposed to the typical "Hey! We're in a superhero movie!" performance we've all grown familiar with. 6/10
The Assassin (Theatrical/Third Viewing): To say this movie is beautiful is an understatement. Its production design is nearly unrivaled in the world of Wuxia filmmaking, with unmatched swordplay that flows more like a complex dance than a fight. If you're a fan of Wuxia, or of movies in general, I highly recommend. 9/10
Ghostbusters 1984 (Theatrical/Nth Viewing): There is nothing I can say about this classic that hasn't said in some variation before. It hits all the marks, from perfect comedic timing to timeless characters. The only downside one could find within this comedy masterpiece is the impossibility of a followup that could do it justice (Though Ghostbusters II comes frighteningly close). 7/10
As I said before, I can only 'review' a movie after a second viewing, but here are some first impressions I have from movies with only a single viewing.
Black Panther (Theatrical): A fun turn-your-brain-off film that is sure to please everyone who is looking for a good time. I've seen some people describing this film as political, but if that isn't your thing then fret not! This movie's politics fall under the very safe realm of "Be good to others/the world" that all children's movies do, so nothing to offend anyone on either end of the political spectrum.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Theatrical): To keep in line with this thread's theme of quick reviews (and to save myself the sanity of revisiting this movie), I will just say this. Do you own more than one Star Wars figurine? If yes, then you'll probably like this.
Microwave Massacre: Holy cow is this movie bad. A movie that looks to be on a shoe-string budget, with some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a cheap B-movie. I will definitely be revisiting this movie with friends and beer.
