Everything Everywhere All At Once is Absurd!

    Alright, so I finally got around to watching Everything Everywhere All At Once a couple of days ago and first impressions… wow… what a weird fucking movie. But definitely not weird in a bad way, I guess. The storyline is fairly easy to follow along, and the acting is absolutely incredible. I can see why this movie has received so many Oscars.

    From the moment Key Huy Quan’s character Waymond Wong eats an entire stick of lip balm, in order to access the martial arts abilities of one of his counterparts in the multiverse before he absolutely dominates in a fight scene against some IRS security guards using only his fanny pack as a weapon…. Absurdity comes to mind. If felt like a fight scene straight out of a Jackie Chan movie. Shanghai Noon to be more specific. If was awesome and funny and oh so weird. But wait there’s more… the Protagonist Evalyn Wang a little while later while still trying to make her way out of the IRS building ends up trying to prevent a bad guy from shoving a butt plug shaped trophy up his butt, so that he can’t access the fighting skills from His counterpart. Yep, you read that correctly…this film takes what we think of as absurd and pushes it to another level. I think this is a movie you watch with other people just to see each other’s reactions.

    I totally agree when I watched the fighting scenes in the IRS office I was either cringing, laughing, or oh so confused. My husband even watched it with me and we just kept looking at each other and laughing (him more than me). But this movie is sooo absurd that when I did the reading for this week I was really confused on what I was even going to be writing about until I watched this film.

 Moonlight (2016) ….Wow what a film… If you happen to be among those of us who somehow let this film slip through the void, that was the madness of the 2016 presidential election; take a seat on your couch, wrap yourself up in your favorite blanket, grab some…oh so unhealthy chocolate bars (Milka Mmmmax  was my choice), and with a box of tissues at the ready, divest your sole attention to this must watch drama. At just 111-minute run time, this film packs a lot in. When the credits began to roll, I wasn’t ready for the story to end just yet. I needed more! The film, although really, really good, deserved at least another half hour for such an emotional story.                The theme that kept popping into my mind as I was watching it, and long after was the all too real perpetuation of cycles that affect so many people. whether by “choice” or unfortunate circumstance.

Introduction

     Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog!     Movies have this magical ability to transport us to new worlds and realms as we make our escape into the big screen at our local theater, or the small screen on our bedroom dresser. I have loved watching movies for as long as I can remember, from action packed summer blockbusters to the newest horror flick to grace the shelves at my local VHS rental place. The same excitement that I felt as a kid is no match to the excitement of knowing that thousands upon thousands of movies are just a few clicks aways while sitting on my couch. As much as I still love going to the movie theater and buying overpriced drinks and snacks, nothing beats the convenience that streaming brings to all of us. I mean do you know anyone that doesn’t have a Netflix account. These days there is nothing I love more than perusing the seemingly endless catalog that Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and many others have to offer to find that one underrated gem. I love it all!
