- Spider-Man: Homecoming was a really enjoyable film. I enjoy all the Spider-Man films, although, I enjoy them in very different amounts. I would say that this film is an improvement over the last three installments, though, I don't necessarily think it holds above the first two Sam Raimi films. This film will be the focus of one of my video reviews when I get everything started in October, so I'll share my thoughts then.
- A Monster in Paris is a French animated film I decided to watch with my girlfriend, who had already seen and recommended the film. Generally, her and I don't have similar views on films. For instance, I absolutely loved The Nice Guys, and she thought it was lackluster, and she loved the new Beauty and the Beast, which I thought was mediocre. This film is another instance where our difference in opinion is shown. I thought the film was fundamentally flawed from a storytelling perspective, with archetype characters and plainly put, simply a really weird, forced plot that never really meshed all that well. It feels like a lot of really generic subplots spliced together to create a film. I also didn't enjoy the musical aspect very much either.
- Strange Magic is a film my girlfriend enjoyed that she has tried to make me watch for a couple of months now. Knowing the abysmal reception and, simply put, how bad it looked, I wasn't interested. I watched it though, and yeah, it was about what I expected. The animation looks very, very low-budget and abysmal. The characters are archetypes, but, more than that, the subplots are loosely threaded, all about squeezing as many musical performances as possible without it being too much of an off-put. This might not have been that bad a fact, but it isn't even actual original music, instead, it's covers of popular music, and that makes the offering seem all the more lazy, it's like a cheaper, less profitable Trolls.
- I don't have a whole lot to say about The Little Prince. This is the second French animated film I've watched this month. The film had a lot of known names to its cast and I enjoyed its animation and it definitely had a certain charm about it. Truth be told, if I were asked what I thought about it, I'd say I am somewhere in the middle, but there's a caveat to my opinion as well. I watched this film at around midnight, I had woke up the night before at around five in the afternoon, then, worked a whole shift from 10pm to 7am, then, stayed up til midnight. In other words, I was up for around 30 hours, and I was on the brink of passing out the entire time that film played.
