Day 365

Last Day of the Year, and I’m staying home.

I thought about going out to see a movie, but I couldn’t decide on one.

I’m pretty much vegging out in front of the TV.

So if you don’t hear from me around midnight, Happy New Year to you all!

Aquarium Scene

It was the aquarium scene in Aquaman.

There was something about seeing a little brown kid discovering his super powers while being bullied that simply made me smile and tear up.

Because I’ve been that bullied little brown kid.  But without the super powers.

I didn’t expect that.

As for the rest of the movie, I enjoyed it.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining.  There were a lot of predictable moments that I could see coming a mile away.

The movie looks pretty, certainly, but some of these shots lingered longer than they should have.  Some of the action shots looked bad.  Period.

And Black Manta was a frakking joke.  He reminded me of Gigan in Godzilla Final Wars.

Is it a must see?  If you’re a fan of Aquaman or Jason Momoa, by all means, see it.

I would rank it second among the DC movies, behind Wonder Woman, and slightly edging out Justice League.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

That was a whole lotta fun.

I have to admit that I’ve not read a lot of Miles Morales as Spider-Man stuff.  I just haven’t made the time to do so.

But this was a really good movie, as good as any super-hero film that’s been released in recent memory.

I was floored by the post-credits scene, and loved the mid-credits scene.

In ranking the Spider-Man films, I would place it 3rd, after Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man 2.

Recommended!  Go see it!
