    Looks like this was Danny Boyle week for me:

    Brokeback Mountain 4.5/5: what a beautiful tragedy. It’s one of those movies where you don’t really fault anyone for their behavior despite the fact that it keeps making everyone’s lives a little more miserable

    M3GAN 2.0 4/5: I know everyone is comparing this to T2 but honestly it felt like more like the Scary Movie: Mission Impossible (Movie: Impossible?) which is a compliment. Still very funny and I like them mostly ditching the horror elements

    Yesterday 2.5/5: I think this had opportunity but by bailing on The Beatles music and making it a goofy love story I think it kinda loses the plot

    28 Days Later 3.5/5: I got the whole “people are the real monsters” message but I still didn’t think this really nailed it

    28 Weeks Later 3/5: Once again, I understand what political point it’s making, it’s just not as smart as it thinks it is

    USS Callister: Into Infinity 4/5: Look, if TV shows are going to be movie length I’m going to count them as movies. Good Star Trek spin off with interesting sci-fi stuff and bullshit capitalist nonsense throughout

    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 3.5/5: I understand how you built a whole TV show around Napoleon Solo’s charisma. I imagine this would have had a future if Armie Hamer wasn’t a fucking cannibal
