I’m conflicted. There was a lot here to like, but not nearly enough to consider this a fully baked idea. Disappointing.

Did Damien just give his two week notice?

Despite the fuss about the ending I think people are missing the point. Some minor spoilers ahead.

Manny and Nelly both desired to be part of film because they wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves. Manny reacts so strongly during the film because he realizes that the foundations they helped lay in Hollywood were echoing into the present day. Some of the scenes in the movie were direct references to films they had a hand in creating. They had been part of something that shaped film as we know it and he's finally able to see that for himself.

I didn't get to see it in 3D which no doubt impacted my impressions of Avatar: The Way of Water. The movie was beautiful, I can't imagine what the 3D experience would have been like.

I've read the sentiments of several others about Avatar: The Way of Water, yes this is a very simple, basic human story. Spectacle aside there's nothing new here, in fact I'm not sure there's really much here that wasn't in the first film. But that didn't hurt my enjoyment at all.

Visually the movie was stunning, though there were a few scenes which felt surprisingly "hitchy" almost like dropped frames in a video game. Nothing too bad though. I'm excited to find some behind the scenes videos to see just how Cameron was able to achieve the amazing visuals of this movie (or rather the team at Weta Digital).

In my opinion Avatar: The Way of Water is an emotional, fun ride and ultimately a success. I'm definitely interested to see where the story goes.

There are some truly unforgettable moment in The Night House, I truly wanted to love it. However... the expositional dialog really took this one down a few pegs.

This was my second time watching Catfish. I remember bits and pieces from my first viewing but I was struck by the emotions it pulled out of me this time.

What starts as a thrilling hunt for the truth soon turns into something much deeper. When they decide to visit Angela unannounced I expected her to hide and avoid the confrontation. She doesn't. Why? Because more than anything she wants connection. Even if she has to pose as a beautiful woman and create fake connections with strangers to get them to notice her.

She's lonely, seemingly isolated in the mundaneness of her life and the overwhelming responsibility of caring for her family. I felt bad for her.

I don't know if this is a "real" documentary, but it's definitely a great story.

In hindsight I was a bit harsh on this movie when it came out in 2001. I think my 21-year-old brain didn't have an appreciation for the sillier elements of the story, especially the use of the "Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those peepers" song. In reality this is quite a suspenseful movie (especially in the first act) that tells a unique story.
