Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

Eleven-year-old Margaret moves to a new town and starts to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence. She relies on her mother, Barbara, who offers loving support, and her grandmother, Sylvia, who's coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. Questions of identity, one's place in the world, and what brings meaning to life soon brings them closer together than ever before.

This was a really good coming of age movie based on pretty much the most classic coming of age book from my childhood.  I have been quoting the title of this movie jokingly my whole life.   It's definitely more for females because of the subject matter but anyone who raised a daughter will also very much identify with alot of the material.

I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out.   It is a decent watch but not a must see by any means.

Sisu

During the last days of World War II, a solitary prospector crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-Earth retreat in northern Finland. When the soldiers decide to steal his gold, they quickly discover they just tangled with no ordinary miner.

This was literally as if you took John Wick and put him World War II Europe.  There were some crazy violent visuals, there were some really cool moments but like . . . . . . was there a demand for this movie?   Like it was really just cool for the bits you saw in the trailer and there was very little else.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone else rushing to watch this.  It's not a must see by any means but if you got nothing else going on then it's a decent 90 minute watch.

Book Club: The Next Chapter

Four best friends take their book club to Italy for the fun girls trip they never had. When things go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.

This movie is exactly what it looked like.  Very formula in every way but not the worst thing you will ever see.  And credit where its due, I do like seeing movies like this keeping actors and actresses that have "aged out" of the standard Hollywood roles still remaining relevant for target audiences that are obviously still there.

I would not straight up recommend anyone going out of their way to see this but if you are a fan of any of the cast the movie is entertaining even though it is very similar to other movies for the target audience that have come out the last few years.

Beau Is Afraid

Beau Wasserman is the son of a famous and wealthy businesswoman, Mona. He grows up without a father, who his mother says died during an orgasm (which was also when Beau was conceived), a hereditary medical condition that she claims was passed down to Beau.

Reread that synopsis.  I dare you.  Reread it without mumbling the words WHAT THE FUCK.  Now if you make it past that imagine that this movie is THREE HOURS LONG.   I made it almost half way before pulling the plug and just kept mumbling what the fuck am I watching the whole time.   I couldn't possibly imagine continuing.  

I would not recommend anyone ever bothering with this.  It is a massively too long waste of time.  I don't even see how this could get one of those ooooh it's so well done artistic rubs.  Like it was just weird as hell for the sake of being weird.  

Scream VI

Four survivors of the Ghostface murders leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start in New York City. However, they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when a new killer embarks on a bloody rampage.

I had massively low expectations for this since Scream V was a massive turn in my eyes.   This one was a million times better than the first one.  I still was able to call every twist that they tried to pull off but it was definitely more hooking than the last one.  The location changed definitely helped as NYC kind of became a character.  It was also much more violent and gory than past ones with the attacks being much more vicious.  That didn't necessarily make it better but just different.

I would actually recommend people checking this one out.  It was one of the better offerings in the franchise since the first two ones.
