The Chantingqueers are apparently a pretty decent team. I liked their uniforms and I don't have any hate for them like I might other teams.
But I freaking hate to lose. Always have, always will.

Amazon Prime
I liked the first Accountant movie. After slogging through 32 minutes and 48 seconds of the sequel, I can no longer remember why.
I turned if off. If I'd gone to the theater to see it, I'd be REALLY upset with myself.
Maybe it got better. Don't think I'll ever know. It just didn't work for me at all. I'm done.

In Theaters
I went in fully armed and expecting to hate, loathe, and despise this movie. I didn't want to see it, but the animated version is my kid's favorite Disney film and she asked nicely. So we went.
Not only did I not hate it, I kinda liked it. Yes, some changes were made but those didn't diminish the story. No, Disney didn't try to jam any woke, stupid messaging in there. The CGI was occasionally sketchy but was for the most part effective enough that you forgot Stitch wasn't an actual animatronic creature.
The kid playing Lilo was really good. The girl playing Lani was pretty fantastic (and very attractive in an odd way).
It was far better than I expected. Take the wife and kids.

Netflix I think
You think Morbius was bad? Wait until you get a whiff of this pantload.
Aaron-Taylor Johnson delivers a performance made of solid wood. Russell Crowe's faux-Russian accent is hilariously bad. And... you know what? Let's shorten this review a little bit.
Here's a movie-goer responding to the film in real time.
I concur.

The Fear Street trilogy wasn't great, but wasn't bad. This tacked-on addition to the series is atrocious. It's unbelievably bad.
Yet another movie about teens written and directed by people who apparently never experienced a single moment as an actual teen, and who obsessed in their basements about what the cool kids said, thought, and focused on.
Other than some pretty great music interspersed at various points, there is absolutley nothing and I mean NOTHING about this film that's worth watching. The lead actress looks sort of like what Meryl Streep might have looked like at 14. There's an obligatory quasi-gay character who is annoying beyond any ability to tolerate. Every person in the film is a cariacture of a caricature of a teenaged caricature. The script is abysmal. Everything about this tepid film is ridiculously stupid.
I'd rather go to an actual prom in my underwear than suffer through this again.

Trap
Netflix
I don't know what I expected. M. Night Shaboobaladingdong, so there's probably a late twist. But there isn't. There were opportunities to twist it up, ones that he should/could have taken to elevate the narrative. But he didn't.
Basic storyline: Cops use a concert by a world-wide superstar as bait to trap a serial killer. Get everybody in there, lock it down, and torture them with the "music" as they vet every single male attendee. This set up is bungled because the concert is supposed to be a surprise one-off established specifically to entrap the killer, BUT... they knew he was going to be there because he dropped a piece of the ticket at a kill. Well? Which is it? If you created the concert to trap the guy, you wouldn't have known he was going to be there and if you knew he was going to be there, the concert wasn't created as a trap. Film is now officially in the stupid and lazy category.
As I'm watching the film, I kept wondering WHY do they continue to show so many clips of this "concert" by a no-talent, caterwauling, fake music 'superstar' who CANNOT sing, who has zero stage presence, who cannot dance, whose stage-patter is cringingly bad, and whose songs are drippy treacle at best. Maybe that's the twist? Maybe that talent-bereft waif is the killer? No. Sadly no.
Turns out the drippy songstress is Shalamadongdinger's freaking daughter. There is no real movie here. It's just an excuse for him to showcase his gratingly awful child's effort to boost her 'musical' career. Everything else is just lazy framework cobbled around her shockingly awful 'concert.'
She's Sofia Coppola in Godfather III bad. She might actually be worse. If I never see or hear of her again, that will be too soon.
M.Night is still living off a 40-year old, one-film reputation and his work has grown increasingly dull and moronic. This might be rock bottom for him. The name no longer carries any cachet for me.
This movie is nothing but clap-trap and should be avoided.
