Haunted Mansion

Haunted Mansion; Captures essence of ride’s tone, w/equal parts ghostly and comedy. Cast is well chosen & nods to theme park aspects are highlights. Suffers from a jumbled third act and what seems to be edits to character moments and scenes. Wish it were better but still fun; B

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Everything Everywhere All At Once; This movie is everything. Everything film was made for in order to convey the totality of the human experience. Imaginative, thrilling, hilarious, inventive. A family drama kung fu multiverse comedy with a Michel Gondry visual style. Epic; A+

Knives Out

Knives Out; Layered murder mystery mixes up all the elements of movie making to concoct a pleasure trove of nods and odes. Brilliantly played by the cast, working at multiple levels, political, social, theatrical, without a missed beat. Delightfully entertaining; A+
