Notzilla (2020)
Loving, Punny Parody
As the name implies, Notzilla is a very silly homage to the classic Godzilla movies. Everything is stylistically on-point - the miniatures, the multiple levels of rear-projection, the rubber suit! Incredibly over-the-top - think Airplane! with a side of Space Balls, and just a hint of Duck Soup. Short and surprisingly sweet, Notzilla provides some much-needed giggles right now.
Dear White People (2014)
Phenomenal
Completely blew me away. Characters are complex and three-dimensional. Writing is snappy and smart.
The pivotal party is SO absurd and over-the-top as to be unbelieva- oh wait, no it's sadly incredibly realistic.
Mandatory viewing.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
A Swing and a Miss
For fans of the show, it's interesting as a sort of conceptual origin story. Otherwise, not worth watching. It has some of the show's fun, but none of its nuance.
The Jerk (1979)
Totally Holds Up
I rewatched this recently, and it is every bit as good as the first time - from his first line to his last, bringing him full circle.
