Pinocchio Review
I think what differs from this movie versus other remakes is that it wasn't a remake at all, it felt like it's own story whilst keeping the same characters. This can't be said about a lot of reboots and sequels nowadays.
What I didn't like about the film, like the ugly (in my opinion) animation style, it makes up for in heart. Geppetto and Pinocchio's relationship is the highlight of the story.
Whilst I don't want to go into spoilers, this film is really sad at times and had me tearing up. The soundtrack definitely added a lot to certain scenes and the movie as a whole, which is to be expected by Alexander Desplat, who is an absolutely amazing composer, and he brings his A game.
Another thing I loved about this film was the antagonist, the puppeteer. Very rarely do I feel physical anger towards characters as movies play out. This definitely occurred towards him.
Overall, Guillerman Del Toro's Pinocchio was an emotional rollercoaster ride that feels more like it's own story then just a "remake".
8/10.

I have watched seasons 1-4 of Rick and morty countless times, it's got the perfect mix of dark comedy, and movie references and emotional scenes, whilst still leaving a lot unanswered. I loved that. Until season 5, tbh the first episode of seaosn 5 I really liked. It still felt like Rick and morty, which is something I can't say for the episodes that followed. The new writers just fail to incapsulate what made Rick and morty, Rick and morty. All the jokes are stale, and it really felt like they just ran out of ideas. And with 4 seasons still on the way, I'm really worried about the future of my once favourite show.
The Menu is a film that explores how society has shaped the food/culinary industry, for, in this case, the worse. It deals with themes of greed, and wealth, and how this affects chefs and people who work in the food industry.
The performances, especially from Ralph Fiennes and Anna Taylor-Joy, are absolutely spectacular. And I think they were casted perfectly for their roles.
The tension build up in the entire film, especially the first act, were brilliant, and the way they edited it, to reminiscent of cooking shows like MasterChef, fit perfectly with the themes and ideas the film was trying to portray.
Lastly, the movie was really funny at times, but the jokes didn't break the tension of the film, and they didn't feel forced.
