Aw man, I really thought I’d like this more. Sinners feels like one of those movies that might work better if you go in not expecting much. But with Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan involved, I figured it’d be something great. For me, it just didn’t fully land.

It’s not a bad movie. There’s actually a lot to like. The atmosphere, for one, is really well done. It has this dark, moody, classic & cliché vampire movie aesthetic that I really liked. The euphoric dance scenes & music were really solid and used well to build anticipation. But after a while, it started to feel like a little too much. Like they kept using the same dance elements to build tension or hint that something big was coming, and it just kept going and going… I was sitting there thinking, this is cool and all, but can we please get to the actual story?

That was the biggest issue for me. The pacing just didn’t work. The first half of the movie felt like it was all setup with no real progress. Way too much exposition with a lot of foreshadowing & no payoff until the climax. It was frustrating. Like being at a restaurant and watching everyone else get their food while you keep waiting & waiting… till when it finally does get to you, you’re kinda annoyed about it taking so long.

There are definitely good things here, though. The acting, the style, the overall look of the movie all worked. But it needed to move faster. It had so much potential, it just got stuck in its own buildup. Cool idea, just took too long to get going.

So I finally watched Mean Girls, and let me just say - I get the hype now. For the longest time, I avoided it thinking it was just a “chick flick” or one of those movies you had to grow up with to really enjoy. Now, I wish I’d seen it sooner!

This movie is everything a 2000s comedy should be. It’s funny, quotable, and has that over-the-top, chaotic vibe that defined that era. And the jokes? They actually hold up. I was really laughing out loud at some of the stuff they showed. The early 2000s comedies were SO bold & made jokes out of stuff that wouldn’t be allowed in modern day films, I kinda miss that.

Even though it’s an unserious comedy, it sneaks in some real truths about high school drama, cliques, and how ridiculous social hierarchies are for us at that age. It’s not deep by any means, but it hits that sweet spot of being funny while actually kinda pointing out some truths.

It's just a perfect time capsule of early 2000s culture & I was OVERWHELMED with a pleasant sense of nostalgia while watching it.

It’s like Kubrick perfectly translated into film what I imagined the illuminati would be like… what a fucking genius you were, Mr. Kubrick
