It's hard not to be down these days, given the headlines. I've been going to the movies on Tuesdays to take advantage of the discounts on tickets and meals.
I went to see Maxxxine yesterday. I thought it was good and nicely created the '80s cinematic feel. I'm not the first to say it reminded me of Angel.
I saw X when going to the movies still seemed a little more dangerous and thought Ti West really did a lot to revamp and invert slasher tropes. Pearl was pretty interesting too and really did its own thing.
I didn't love Maxxine as much, but it was interesting and had some surprises and a lot of fun touches like the Psycho house.
The theater's been a little more active of late with families taking in Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4. Glad to see the place getting some business, and they've been doing fun things like setting up photo op spots.
Yesterday they had a Minion on hand, bouncing around the halls as well.
Before Maxxxine started, the Minion bopped into our theater to look around and give a big wave.
I gave a big wave back, and there was quite a bit of joy in that little bit of goofiness.
Bolstered me to sit back and enjoy the film more than I might have.
Thought this was an interesting poster, channeling maybe more '70s giallos like Torso maybe. The film's got a masked menace part of the time, so I guess that all fits.
