It: Chapter Two Review: An Ambitious, Worthwhile Sequel
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.
Wasted (2023)
Wasted unapologetically depicts the post-COVID college experience in its rawest form: featuring hookup culture, substance abuse, and shattered friendships, all while asking the age-old question of "how does one "do" college right?". Alex Wilder, a college freshman, navigates his way between two friend groups: his longtime theater squad and a corrupt-yet-alluring fraternity crowd. Alex's mental state slowly deteriorates during this identity crisis, and he must learn who he truly is and what he stands for during one of the most influential times of his life.

"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" (2025) Film Review-Taking a risk to love and trust again via fantastical, shared paths
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
