The Artful Dodger (2023)
Clever adventure. Needs to come back!
They need to bring this one back. It was clever, funny, thrilling, romantic. And the romance wasn't even in your face, thrown at you or shoved down your throat. The main point was adventure, ambitions. It wasn't obvious from the start, they could've equally become friends.
The characters had stories, all of them, backgrounds. There were twists, there was wit. And there definitely can be more stories to pull out of them, from where we left off. Magnificent cast as well, expertly played roles by all. They need to bring it back! I need to see more of these characters, their comebacks, their ingenuity.. please?
Sixteen Candles (1984)
Rapey
So gross and rapey. The sexual harassment is rampant from the beginning and at one point they actually even talk about having sex with a girl that's passed out, can't consent, can't even identify who'd she be having sex with before passing out again.
Anti Matter (2016)
Good watch
While we guessed what was going on before the reveal, we were still glued to the screen and needed to know more. We weren't sure if our guess was right. It's a good thriller. If you're considering watching this movie, go ahead and watch it, it's suspenseful but not too slow, and a bit refreshing.
I do however agree with other commentators that the movie poster/cover was misleading. And acting was the main reason of my overall rating.
As for social impact, I like that a) there was a female lead b) female lead from a different heritage c) female supporting actresses on two accounts. d) featured two strong female scientists e) the male lead had no backstory and was simply the boy-toy, also the softer one of the three. This alone doesn't please me obviously, it's more in regard to how it's usually the other way around.
Basically a good refreshing cast, featuring intelligent scientific women, one of whom is a Latina.
(I'm not the most eloquent but I hope you get my point)
