100% honesty all I wanted from Red Notice was a fun escapist movie and I’m happy to say that’s exactly what I got.
It’s a very old school 90’s kind of action adventure film that’s on Netflix and I mean don’t expect greatness but it’s an enjoyable watch.
Okay even for a Witcher animated movie Nightmare of the Wolf opens with such violence I was like, eh maybe not.
Luckily I stuck with it and this look into the life of Vesemir (he’s super important to Geralt) was well worth it. And while violent throughout with a great battle at the end nothing really reached the gross violence of the opening if you’re squeamish.
I would not have expected 90 minutes about a woman stuck in a cryogenic pod and fast running out of air to be the first new movie to hold my attention throughout for a while.
But here we are.
FYI if you are very claustrophobic I’d tread lightly. I am myself but it never bothers me in films and I wasn’t bothered here.
I have to start paying more attention to Sony Animation because they have been on top of things recently. Because while I’m no animation expert I really enjoyed the styles throughout The Mitchell’s vs the Machines.
It was as fun to watch for that as anything else.
Can I live in the Luca trailer please? I want to just beam in find a nice little place… that’s not weird is it? I mean this is artwork here.

What I really took from Mank is we all need whatever glow filter they were using on Amanda Seyfried. It’s easy to steal the show whenever everyone is dull, drab, gray and your over there lit up like a glow stick.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Directed By: David Dobkin
I actually really enjoyed Eurovision but I must admit there was a moment mid-movie where Dan Stevens character is comforting Rachel McAdams Sigrit after a particularly humiliating moment and I thought… he should have been Lars and Ferrell should have played Lemtov.
And that would have taken care of my biggest problem with the movie.
Train to Busan
Directed By: Sang-ho Yeon
Grade: A
I love finding a movie where my first thought is, “Eh, I’ll just try it because it’s not really my thing,” and then absolutely loving it. Which pretty much happened with Train to Busan. I flipped it on like I’ll just watch a couple of minutes and catch up on it later cause I have too much to do.
2 hours later I still have too much to do and I’m crying (again) over a zombie movie.
