Baskin -
(Can Evrenol, 2015)
[NEW WATCH]
This should be a movie I love but overall I was felt pretty mediocre about it. It had some good, even great, stuff - including what I think is one of the best modern horror soundtracks. But it basically felt like a cool script with cool ideas that wasn't that well-executed. I was looking forward to it, and I was hoping for a lot of gore. There wasn't as much as I wanted, though that wouldn't matter if I thought the movie was good anyway.
Wonder Woman - -
(Patty Jenkins, 2017)
[NEW WATCH]
I realized recently regarding superhero movies, it's not that I dislike the genre like I thought I did, it's just I dislike a lot of the ones everyone else seems to love, such as Deadpool and the Marvelverse movies. This made me think I hated the genre as a whole, but I'm understanding that's not the case. I'm in full agreement with the praise Wonder Woman has been getting. I loved it! While it's not flawless I had a great time. Gal Gadot was tremendous. I have always liked DC over Marvel because they are a little grittier and that appeals to me more. I do think they've had a hard time getting their footing cinematically, but with how successful I think Wonder Woman is, hopefully they've got a bright future.

I liked it so much I saw it again on the same day.
The Babadook - +
(Jennifer Kent, 2014)
[REWATCH]
I don't have much to say, I love this movie, and actually when it clicked that the Babadook is basically a metaphor for her depression, some stuff in the film made more sense to me.
