Wet Hot American Summer 4/5 - This was actually my first time seeing this and it was pretty crazy to see a cast that was just absolutely stuffed with comedy legends. Definitely a stoner movie but once I got on board with it being stupid I had a great time
It Ends 4/5 - Pretty good for a mystery movie. It felt like another response to covid and was impressive with what they accomplished on a small budget. Liminal indie horror is in!
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin 4/5 - Really solid Hong Kong kung-fu
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice 3/5 - Intentionally circuitous like a lot of time travel movies but it splits the difference between fighting, crime, comedy, and sci-fi. It had a moment where it does each of those well, but none of those moments coinicide. Also the ending is meh
Super Troopers 3 3.5/5 - It's better than 2, though that's not a high bar to clear. I imagine this could be really funny if they wrote more new jokes and stopped repeating the best joke from the first one for a third time
The End of Oak Street 3.5/5 - The best Jurassic movie in a long ass time. I liked dinosaurs being absolutely ruthless and the "modernized" interpretation of dinosaurs that Jurassic Park has locked themselves out of doing. I have a specific gripe about the very end of the movie that's a spoiler:

After they save all of the people from the wormhole everyone is so excited that dad is still alive... but this dad is from before any of the events of the movie. So he didn't have to save his kids, see his neighbors die, or sacrifice himself. He doesn't experience any of the growth or trauma his family did and his wife wanted to leave because of him. I think he should have stayed dead, he needed to acquire his memories from the wormhole, or something else. It just doesn't really work as an ending for me
