The Goods: Film Reviews
About a third of the way into God Help the Girl, Cassie (Hannah Murray) protests during a guitar lesson to her instructor, James (Olly Alexander), that she doesn’t want to learn technique like scales, she just wants to write songs.
Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, in the wake of the success of the Chuck Jones adaptation of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Dr. Seuss produced and wrote a handful of half-hour TV specials, some based off of his existing books and some originals.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a conventional sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark in all of the ways that Temple of Doom is not.
Temple of Doom is the fever dream iteration of Indiana Jones, every scene and detail and character turned up to a nightmarish 11.
Out of all of the stupid, horrible Frozen spinoff shorts… this might be the most tolerable!

It may very well be the nostalgia speaking.
This Disney Channel Original Movie takes a very intriguing premise — boy begins transforming to merman on his thirteenth birthday and tries to hide it from the world; very clearly a metaphor for coming out as gay in 1999 — and makes it so damn boring.

Terminator 2 bungles two narrative devices in its opening half hour, and it leaves me ever-so-slightly sour on the film for the rest of its runtime.
