Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

⭐ 10.0/10

(Originally written by Beans)

The first black panther is definitely in my top 3 MCU films and might be my number 1. This movie is incredible. I am not ashamed to admit how much I love it. It has such a different pace and a very different beat as it deals with grief and sorrow.

The tribute to Chadwick Boseman was heart wrenching and beautiful. It was honourable and noble and the first Marvel movie I would call beautiful because of it.

The main women led cast were all great and so much fun to watch. Amazing fighting scenes, great dialogue, cool gadgets and the drip and beauty of these women is unparalleled. Special shout out to Lupita Nyongo.

Namor, the antagonist, has me spellbound. Truly a god among men. He is showstoppingly beautiful and I would burn the world down for him. His backstory was great and fleshed out well. His motivations were believable and I would not even call him a villain.

This movie didn’t really have a main superhero feel which was good for marvel. There were minimal corny jokes, they dealt with oppressive systems and alliances in a great way, and it was again visually stunning.

This will probably be my last marvel movie I will stay with up to date and it was a great send off. I loved this so much.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

⭐ 6.5/10 (Originally written by Tim) Watched this for the first time because we wanted a comedy, and it was fine. I laughed a couple times, mostly at Paul Rudd, whose character was amazing. Otherwise its just a 2000s raunchy comedy. These Apatow movies are way too long for comedies, and the feel-good endings take too long to get to. I liked the idea of a fake NBC show that Kristen Bell stars in, and those clips made me laugh. Jason Segel is fine, and he fits the depressed guy thing they are going for here. I will never understand why the two women in this movie are so beautiful and the two guys are pudgy idiots. I guess I do understand, given the target audience for these movies. Another thing, they clearly were in Hawaii for filming a bunch of this, but then there are a couple scenes that are clearly using a green screen for the background. Pretty weird, since I assume they were in Hawaii, so maybe reshoots? Felt kinda cheap. Anyways, good for a couple laughs, don't ever nee...

July Reading Favourites

Look at that cover! This is a YA horror book written by a trans Canadian author that knocked my socks off. A small town has secrets it's trying to hide, and after the death of a boy and a newcomer arriving, things start slipping out of control. It's a book about being trans or queer and living in a small town, and how a community creating a facade of a perfect town can backfire. Also maybe closing your eyes to anything that's "not your business" is not good actually! It's violent and full of rage, and I loved the way it played with time and perspective. Check the triggers, but if you're interested in reading it, I'd recommend going in blind without looking at reviews or a longer description! This is a short book of essays about ableism and disability justice, specifically relating to technological advances for disabled people. Most of the essays focus on a different type of technology for different disabilities (prosthetics, hearing aids, cures for aut...

In 2024 I read another ABSURD amount of books, and I will not be commenting on what that says about me, my decisions, or the state of my mental health. So I'm just going to go straight into my favourite books of the year! I've posted about a lot of these in my monthly faves, but now you get to see which ones made it to my favourites of the year list! They're in no particular order. A Pacific Islander-inspired fantasy with unique, refreshing vibes. Hanalei returns to her home island, Her childhood best friend is looking for a dragonfruit to heal his mother, and Hanalei will use her connection with the seadragons to help. Lucier has a pretty simple way of writing, but the story was fun and beautiful, and it really took me on an adventure. Sid is a Korean adoptee living in a very white town that is over a crack where magic can get through. One day a Guardian falls, releasing magic and zombies, and it becomes a fight to survive. This is such an interesting blend of fantasy and ...
