Fear Street: Prom Queen ('25): Based on The Prom Queen ('92), I don't know if I ever read this one. It's set in '88, the year I was born actually. I felt a visceral reaction when Never Gonna Give You Up came on, I felt rickrolled haha. I like the 'Sarah Fier is still alive' touch in the bathroom stall. I'm kinda disappointed her mom didn't turn up at the end to save her daughter to bring it back full circle, but I guess the daughter getting prom queen and taking down her boyfriend's killer in her place is still a win. Did anyone else feel like Megan might've had feelings for her or am I looking too much into it because I wanted her to? I liked their friendship though, Lori laughed at all of Megan's dark humor and didn't try to change her. I would watch every single one of these adaptations I don't care who hates them. 3/5 stars

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster ('23): This left a big impression on me. All spoilers head. A young girl loses her mother and brother to gang violence and watches another little boy get killed in the crossfires as well. She becomes obsessed with death and curing it and finally she manages to bring her brother back, but she didn't take into consideration that he would look like a monster and have the strength to back it up. It takes literally everyone but her and a little girl dying to finally find a better way. The irony of her reviving her brother only for him to kill his own dad who called him a monster! And he killed his other family. I was a little confused about who was related to who and also why the little girl acted so unnecessarily creepy. I'm so curious who all she brought back. 3/5 stars

Detention ('11): This movie had a lot going on. A guy with fly powers, a time-traveling bear, a murderer dressed like a famous movie killer named Cinderhella, a group of awful teenagers and more all amongst a school backdrop. I didn't understand all the references but twitter was mentioned and of course popular music of the time(s). I feel like if I rewatch I'll catch more than I did one a first watch. Overall the interesting mix of elements makes me give it a 3/5 stars.

I Saw the TV Glow ('24): Whatever I was expecting it wasn't that and now I'm crying, what a gut punch... I don't know if I could watch this again but maybe I need to. The balloon tent brought me back to my childhood btw, I loved when we did that. The music was great. Back to crying! (some interesting commentary on reddit here) 4.5/5 stars

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ('23): It just hit me that Spider-Verse reminds me a bit of the Life is Strange game!

It's wild that Gwen's father thought Spider-Woman murdered a boy. *smh* I get that he knew Peter but he didn't try to know or understand Spider-Woman.

I really did not enjoy the whole Miles -> Gwen / Hobie thing, love triangles and unrequited love are personal icks for me.

They blamed Miles for saving Singh but Pav was trying to save him too even knowing he was supposed to die.

I'm not surprised Hobie helped Miles what with his rebel attitude.

The chase scene was so much fun, a lot going on.

Jess told Peter he was a terrible mentor but it was them who got Peter in trouble and made Miles run again. >_> Man, blaming a boy for everything is a Choice, Miguel. Instead of saying 'it wasn't supposed to happen but here we are, let's make the best of it' he chose to put all the blame on someone who didn't ask to be bitten and have his life changed all because of this machine that says it was 'supposed' to go another way so Miles is a 'mistake'.

It's another Choice to send Gwen back to a place where her father wants to kill her or imprison her and she has nowhere to go...(though it didn't go there thankfully). There's a lot of messy people and situations in this 'verse and I reckon that's what keeps you hooked, you have to know how how it's all going to turn out. I'd love to watch or reading something pointing out all the references btw.

The next one isn't coming out until 2027 ahh. 4.5/5 stars maybe?

Phenomena ('23): Spanish is so fast, I had to pause a lot to catch everything! I like the sense of humor in this. As someone with anxiety and hyperhydrosis I felt bad for Enrique. I really enjoyed this movie, I loved seeing how the three women interacted together and with others. I want to watch it again. But what did that mid-credits scene mean?? A ghost shoving off all the bartender's glasses but one, and he smiled? 4.5/5 stars

Jurassic World: Rebirth ('25): I don't even know if I finished the previous entries, I started losing interesting somewhere after the first one but I was curious about this one. It takes place 37 years after the last one I think, when most dinosaurs have moved near the equator to survive. It was just okay at first but I started enjoying it more and more when the stranded family came into the picture. There were several references to Jurassic Park. Isabella took Dolores with her but will it be able to survive in different conditions?? Also how the heck did Duncan survive? I was ready to be pissed off if they didn't make him throw the stick in the dinosaurs mouth or something but the way it went was confusing instead. Also the dinosaur paralyzing pills(?) never came into action. And how did they get attacked so much on the way there but not on the way back, and there were even dolphins surviving nearby? 4.5/5

I am watching Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, it is just slow going because of my squicks, so I'll roll it over to the next challenge until I've made it through.
