The Beauty That Is Project Hail Mary


I would like to quickly point out that I have not read the book. Not everyone's a book person. So if there are some differences between this and the book, I don't care. From the same author behind The Martian and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (AKA: The Jerks Behind The Spider-Verse Movies😡), Project Hail Mary centers on Ryan Gosling being sent to outer space in an attempt to stop the sun from dying.

This movie was GORGEOUS! Pretty much everybody is saying that and they're not wrong. There are a lot of strong aspects in this movie, but probably the biggest standout is the visuals. They were so raw and real that it's kind of disturbing. And I highly doubt that anyone involved with this film would be dumb enough to actually go to space, so I can't help but wonder how the HELL did Lord and Miller pull this off. The cinematography for this was absolutely beautiful. Yes, I am aware that the same person who did Dune 1 & 2 is responsible for this. He is very good at his job. 

But it's not just the visuals, movie was surprisingly emotional. Whether it's the bleak outcome of this mission's risks, or the relationship between Grace and Rocky (who was adorable and hilarious), this movie does a very good job at pulling your heartstrings. It wasn't as action-packed as I thought it would be, but the combination of the visuals and emotional core made up for that. 

Obviously I have to talk about Ryan Gosling😒. To make myself clear, I do not dislike him but I've never taken him seriously either. Most of the time I see him as one of the "pretty boys" Hollywood worships for breathing. Prior to this, I think I've only ever seen him in The Notebook and Fall Guy, the latter of I liked (which ya'll probably remember). I don't care enough to watch Blue Valentine, I don't care enough to watch La La Land, and I REFUSE to watch Barbie🙄. With that being said I now have to take him seriously, he did a REALLY good job in this. Not only was he an absolute dork in this to the point where it was kind of adorable, but his moments of vulnerability felt real and genuine. He definitely had his funny and charismatic moments, but there were also times were I wanted to hug him SO BAD. I really liked him in this, and it kind of pisses me off 😡.

I will also quickly call out the score of this movie. It was beautiful and innovative.

My only flaw with this film was that it might've been slightly too long, but that's only by a grain of salt. Again this does not make me feel better about next year, but this movie is a nice reminder of how talented Lord and Miller are. This is without a doubt the first great movie of the year, and early too. Go See It! Thanks For Reading

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
