I think this Mimikyu wants to wear the TARDIS as their skin…
2024
Queen Anna
Royalty stopped by our booth, along with Sven! Loved the crown and cape (Edna Mode wasn’t around to complain about it), and the dress was stunning!!
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde
The dynamic between these two characters is so fun to watch. It’s one of my favourites.
Mew-Two
Add another “cosplay I didn’t expect to see” with this one. TBH Mew-Two kinda scares me. He’s so smart.
My Spy: The Eternal City – JenEric Movie Review
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2024 film My Spy: The Eternal City.
Story
Mixing the teen travel drama with a spy thriller isn’t new, but they do it fairly well.
Score: 0.5
Characters
Transitioning from the previous reluctant partnership to the much more banal and overdone father-daughter fighting dynamic is just frustrating. They did such a good job turning the tropes on their heads for the first one that this just feels recycled. Separating the two for most of the movie ruins the charm of them working together.
The additional cast were fun and the new villain was interesting.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
Bautista has wonderful comedic timing as does Coleman, but they really shine when they are together, which doesn’t happen much in this one.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
Beautiful scenery and great camera work.
The music was fun and did its job.
Score: 1
Fun
Had this been the first movie in the series, I would have liked it more. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough of what made the first one great, which was spoofing spy movies and the relationship between the leads.
The rest of the family did enjoy it.
Score: 0.5
Overall
An acceptable sequel but despite the bigger set pieces, bigger cast, and massive budget, it doesn’t have the same charm as the original.
Final Score: 3 Stars out of 5
Witch King of Angmar
He’s stretching out to touch the TARDIS! If I pull it away, will he stab me in the shoulder???
Y2K – JenEric Movie Review
How This Works – Read Other Reviews
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2024 film Y2K.
Story
It’s a standard survival horror with almost no deviation in plot.
Score: 0
Characters
The “awkward dude gets the hot popular girl” is a really tired trope. Making her good with computers is a nice twist but makes him even blander which I didn’t think was possible.
The rest of the movie’s characters were tired tropes pulled from survival horror or stoner comedies.
Score: 0
Dialogue
The dialogue was written by nerds for nerds and is unironically goofy in the best way. The “edgy” dialogue is pretty much what we all thought was edgy back in 2000 but in retrospect is kinda childish.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The camera work was excellent and the special effects were pretty impressive.
The music was nostalgic and fun.
Score: 1
Fun
This isn’t a great movie but there were some fun parts. I watched it on my own because it is really not kid friendly.
Score: 0.5
Overall
A lackluster plot with nothing special that can’t seem to decide if it hates the 2000’s or loves it.
Final Score: 2 Stars out of 5
