The Menu
Tags:Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
Oh it’s a mockery of the stuck up foodies and food bros that inhabit nearly every restaurant you’ve ever been to that’s required a dress code of some sort. Anya Tyalor-Joy is fantastic as always, with Nicholas Hoult and Ralph Fiennes doing a fantastic job as brining her character to the forefront of the film.
I actually watched The Whale not too long after this, and Hong Chau is in both of them, but I didn’t recognize that at all until someone else mentioned she was having a good summer with her films. In ‘The Menu’ she’s a severe maitre de with a cult like devoting to Chef, but in The Whale she’s playing a woman that’s not doing well in life at all. Maybe I need to find more of her work?
John Wick: Chapter 4
Tags:John Wick: Chapter 4, Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
The fourth film in a series about a hit-man returned from the dead to seek his vengenance against all that wronged him (and his puppy). It’s a great movie, it’s too long, all the stunts are fantastic, it’s about 4 hours long, they left nearly nothing on the table, and this film is about the same length as Avengers: Endgame. If were to tell you that it was originally going to be two movies the length makes more sense and honestly I think they should have kept them at two, one with him running around the world and one with him running around Paris.
Regardless, I enjoyed all three hours of the film and look forward to the inevitable fifth entry in the franchise in a few years.

At no point in any of the solicitations for this book did they mention it was a reprint of three books:
Star Trek: Klingons
Star Trek: Trill
Star Trek: Ferengi
All three of these are great stories that I haven’t read before, but I think I would have preferred reading them in floppy form instead of a omnibus collection. None of the stories are related to each other in any way, with different writers, story styles, art styles, or even story purpose. I liked the Trill one the most, maybe because I just finished DS9: Revenant, but that was the one that worked the best for me.

Trees Lounge
Tags:Alcohol, Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
Written and directed by Buscemi, this movie has no plot or moral at the end of the story, but it does join other films that let the lens linger slightly longer than usual after the final scene, ala ‘The Graduate’. There’s a ton of big names in this film, Debi Mazar, Sam Jackson, Chloe Sevigny, Carol Kane and Mark Boone Junior all make substantive appearances, but every single one of them are believable as just regular people going about their regular lives trying to reach their goals. Those goals are something that the main character doesn’t have, doesn’t know he needs them, but is constantly looking for fulfillment in a world that only gives it to people that take it.
I’m going to be going on a huge wave of movies like this, with people struggling to find their way due to either their own weaknesses or because of things they can’t control and “Trees Lounge” was a great start to that list.
