Scooby-Doo! And Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery (2015)
Weird but Good
This movie is like eating Scooby snacks laced with acid. And I so enjoyed the trip it sent me on.
Lady Bird (2017)
Most over hyped movie in History.
This was the most boring, uninteresting movie I've ever had to sit through. It was almost endless compilation of seemingly pointless rising action scenes, making you think it is building up to something but never actually getting to any real story. Instead it shoehorns in tons of different story lines and tropes, none of which are address in an interesting way or even in way that makes them feel resolved. For example, when the Ladybird finds her boyfriend kissing another boy in the bathroom, they instantly jump to her and friend crying in a car (I'm not sure who's car it is, because at this point in the story neither of them can drive.) and then...
Nothing. The fact she caught her boyfriend kissing someone else is not addressed for feels like another 20 minutes and when it is brought back up it's just for him coming crying on her shoulder and her to say "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." after which he disappears too never to be seen again in the film.
And don't get me started on the pacing. No scene seemed to last to more 20 seconds, it was constantly rushing through and jumping from scenes to scene with almost no transition. (My guess, so that they could fit in more pointless scenes and unresolved story lines) if any thing of interest did happen (which, were few and far between) it was over in seconds and they were moving on to the next thing. And yet even with its crazy, fast, scene pacing it still manages to drag out FOREVER. managing to make it's hour and a half run-time feel like five. I got so bored that I actually sneaked off to the bathroom to look up the run time in hopes that it was almost over.
On a positive note though, I thought the all the actors and actresses did an amazing job, with all of them being extremely believable.
P.S. Can I just mention, The writers made such a big deal about Danny wanting to curl his hair for the performance, to the point that Ladybird buying him a hair curler is who they start talking but then when he is actually performing in the play his hair is just as straight as been the entire movie. (I don't know I just thought that was a little lazy,)
