I guess this is one way to deal with your grief…
I genuinely did not see the third act coming! The two lead actors killed it in this tale of friendship and family, whether chosen or born into. A deeply personal study of relationships and psychology, and the complexity of dark humor within grief processing. Much deeper than I expected at the onset.

Summertime in Northern Michigan… there’s nothing like it!
Every story a different angle looking at the same beautiful canvas and complicated humanity that fills it every year in between the snow falling in the great mitten state. An incredibly well done independent film project that does end on a weirdly abrupt note… but kept me 100% in it until then. Enjoy the ambiance of the reasons I love calling Northern Michigan home.

Bright, fun, quirky, HUMAN… did I mention FUN?!? Everything that’s been missing in recent years when it comes to superhero movies. A blast from the past, and a nice glance towards a brighter future, if we dare think we can achieve it. From the soundtrack to the camera moves, this thing is all over the place yet intentional in every quick change and comedic bit. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! The best superhero movie I’ve seen in AGES!

Was I mainly here to see Margaret Qualley? Yes. Yes I was.
Was the rest of the movie as good as I expected? Yes and no. It slips a little too deep into insanity at times for my taste, but with a style that kept me in it 100% from beginning to end, even if I didn’t fully grasp every twist and turn or the “why” behind half of what happened on the screen.

Hey – Austin Butler almost has his Elvis accent kicked for good!
An absolutely wacky tale of mishap after mishap after mishap, until you stumble your way across the finish line, shaking your head and wondering how you made it to the end alive. A super fun, goofy, intense heist film with a surprising amount of dark humor mixed in seamlessly.
