I think this quotation from the director is a good summary of how Past Lives hits on an emotional level:

"My wish if you go and see this movie is that it takes you on a journey within yourself: to all the places you might have gone, or the places you’ve been without even realizing it, or the places you feel maybe, perhaps, inexplicably, you’ve been in another life."

In a shocking third-act twist, I went out to the movies yet again this week. This time to see Joy Ride (the directorial debut of Adele Lim, who co-wrote Crazy Rich Asians among other things). I found it extremely entertaining if a bit too raunchy/raucous for my taste and it has some issues with tonal shift. In any case, I'm glad I saw it in a theater as it's just that sort of movie. The elderly ladies sitting near me obviously enjoyed it. Make of that what you will.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My wife, who due to various health issues finds going to the theater a major struggle, really wants us to go see it as a family despite having no prior familiarity with the character. So I think the trailers are doing their job.

I am curious where Gunn is going with the lineup. No objections to the casting, it just feels like an odd collection of heroes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Indiana Jones movie was indeed a return to form, and holds it own enjoyment-wise with The Last Crusade. Apparently in THIS franchise it's the even-number movies that suck, and the odd-number ones that are good.
