PROBABLY DID NOT LIKE IT:
The Sound of Metal - Compelling and well told but not enough of a hook to engage me as a viewer.

"Project Power" - Not the worst, kinda interesting ideas but weird tone and nothing enough to care about.

Eternals* - Bloated and meandering Eternals contains some compelling ideas and visuals, but takes too long to share them.

---

Kong vs Godzilla - Clich and big and dumb, fun-ish if if you looking for shlock.

Being the Ricardos* - Sorkinly somewhat indulgent, the movie is moderately compelling but makes too much of its melodrama and doesnt have much else to offer.

Sorry to Bother You - Inventive and weirdly compelling, but ultimately too surreal and off-putting for my tastes.

---

"Black Widow" - Better than Captain Marvel, kinda interesting, about as good as the meh episodes of the falcon show.

"Venom Let There Be Carnage" Bad but in a weird way, like it was deliberately made to be weirdly bad. As a a result it was somewhat oddly compelling

The Devil Wears Prada - More compelling than its premise should be but not enough to be worth it ultimately.

Demonic - I dont like horror movies and this was no exception. Still Niel Blomkamp is a director I find compelling and this movie was engaging if frustrating and annoying in the way horror movies are

"Cruella" - Well directed and ok for what it was, but still not anything compelling enough narratively.

---

Luca* - Perfectly serviceable kids movie but otherwise unremarkable and nothing of particular interest. Better than Soul

Coach Carter - Very clich tries to be ok, not awful.

Stillwater - A well acted drama that was ultimately uncompelling and kinda bland. Not much worth caring about in this movie.

---

Soul - Tried to be sweet but ultimately kinda weird, cool visuals though.

Shang-Chi And The Legend of the Ten Rings - Average subpar marvel movie, largely going through the motions, still did a couple inventive things and had one interesting performance.

Hillbilly Elegy - A fine and sentimental movie that never really made me care about anyone enough, well enough made

Tick Tick Boom* - A well made musical, just far far too self indulgent and otherwise boring for my tastes.

DEFINITELY DID NOT LIKE IT:
The Midnight Sky - Boring and doesnt really go anywhere interesting.

Army of the Dead - Promising a lot of fun and a great premise by delivering nothing.

The Dig - Nothing there in the end. I wanted to like it, it wasnt awful just empty.

---

Malignant - I don't like horror movies, and this was no exception. I had heard it was "so bad it was good" but this isn't true. Despite this, the plot does go in somewhat compelling unexpected directions.

Concrete Cowboy - Despite some promise, ultimately was trite/dumb.

Ghostbusters Afterlife - Vapid, empty, and pointless, milking the lore of a franchise that was never about its lore.

---

Red Notice - The most obvious dumb pointless vapid Normie Comedy out there.

DEFINITELY STRONGLY DID NOT LIKE IT:
"The Power of the Dog"* - Artsy-fartsy and self-indulgent, I'm not sure who or what I was supposed to care about, but whatever it was I very very much did not care. A good example of a movie made for Oscar voters and absolutely nobody else.

Salt and Fire" - Bad boring and weird, Werner Herzog is a self-indulgent weirdo who apparently has no idea how normal people act or how to plot a movie. You can a write a better movie in your sleep.
