I highly highly recommend Drive -Away Dolls. I knew next to nothing about this before going in, there was zero marketing, I took a chance by a name director.
Even seeing the film, it's honestly the type of picture that's hard to explain the plot well. A lesbian couple has a wanted suitcase in their trunk, a couple of detectives follow their trail to try and capture what is their's without getting caught and embarrassed. I'll leave it to your imagination what may be in that suitcase.
What I really liked about this film, it's original, it's fun, it's sexy and a perfect length. The two lead actresses were fun to watch and good eye candy as well. There are a bunch of odd segueways which didn't do it for me, but, maybe you'll like it.
Will this win a Oscar next year? No. This is a fun fluff piece.

The Flash.. oh boy..I went into this film with really low expectations, and there are honestly very few positives here. I had seen everything at the moment, I wanted something fun , something I could turn my brain off for two hours. This movie though, I was not happy. I felt ashamed for the writers , ashamed for Warner and how did Jim Gunn approve this?
The visuals are disappointing. For a film that cost over 200 Million to produce, it felt like a Saturday morning kid's production. The actor who portrayed Barry and his younger self, are the worst casted characters I can recall recently. Young Barry is so annoying, but for some reason the producers choose to put him in 2/3 of this.
The film starts off well, felt similar to Ant Man, but almost right away goes to this odd time travel plot to save Mom. Others have said the same thing, Michael Keaton was the only good save for this film. The only thing I thought as I watched this, how could an exec think this was ok to be released? Why does Warner have story problems on all DC projects of late? Like my title stated, I think both Disney and Warner need to put their superhero stories on hold for a couple years.
This is a hard pass.

I just got back from seeing a screening of " Asteroid City," and this one, I went in completely unaware; not reading any reviews or know what the plot is. I'm glad as I didn't, I had a great ride.
The film opens up as a play, which scared me, but shortly after, we open up onto Asteroid City. The look, the color scheme, the buildings are just a fun joy to watch.
We meet Jason Schwartzman, a writer and photographer, who along with his children, get stuck in the city due to car trouble. Augie meets Midge, played by Scar Jo, who likes to photograph her and develop a odd relationship. There's a bunch of odd B plots, the biggest sup plot is this mysterious alien coming for a visit. Jeff Goldblum plays the alien well, though he never speaks, he is fully animated on how he moves.
There are a bunch of great cameos who all deliver a great performance. Steve Carell shines as the hotel manager. Matt Dillion is great as the mechanic. Tom Hanks is great as the grandfather, every role was superior.
This is a film you need to see more than once with all the great visuals and cameo performances. Mr Anderson can honestly deliver a great , cinematic experience! Well done, Sir!
