“Heart Eyes”

How they seamlessly patched together such a solid romantic comedy with a slasher, I’ll never know… but here we are! It was so adorable and then so abhorrent, and then back. I couldn’t believe how intense it got in some sequences, or how hard I laughed at others. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding’s chemistry is ELECTRIC, which really helps this thing cook. A perfect date-night movie with your arm candy… even if it’s a popcorn bucket.

So, uh… this is what happens when the sex robots become sentient and revolt. We’ve been due this film in the new age A.I. sci-fi genre… and this didn’t disappoint! A funny, insightful, dread-inducing thrill ride that’s “Promising Young Woman” meets “The Terminator.” A bloody good time at the theater! I can’t give Sophie Thatcher enough credit in this role, as she takes over and doesn’t relinquish her on-screen domination until the credits are done rolling! Bravo!

“Anora”

So… this thing turns into a comedy in the second half. I did NOT see that coming!

There are many lessons here… don’t marry an exotic dancer? Don’t marry an heir to a Russian mob fortune who didn’t get permission to get married? Don’t untie your hostage early? Make sure the mom likes you?

Whatever the takeaway, the fun remains. This was an incredibly unexpectedly funny one that left me befuddled from beginning to end, in a good way. Well worth a watch, for the plot.
