Joker (2019)

Joker. Wow. I don't know where to begin. My mind is blown. I felt so bad for the Arthur. A guy suffering from severe mental illness who honestly just wants to be happy. Seeing the slow deterioration of his mental health due to society's mistreatment, plus just bad break after the other, how could one not snap. I mean, I started rooting for him by the end and just take out all the people who did. Speaking of the end, by that time, he is the Joker. Joaquin Phoenix is just amazing and I can see an Oscar for this performance. For those expecting/wanting a ton of action, this is not the movie. It is a character movie that moves slow. The one criticism I was having with this movie was the relationship of Arthur and Sophie was that it seemed out of place, but how that turns out completely explains why. I didn't think I wanted to see this movie when it was announced, but now I am saying you need see this movie. 10/10.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

First things first, the cast is great. The main four and the addition of Zoey Deutch was top notch. She gave a stellar performance of a dumb blonde. They added a new type of zombie which was a great addition to the zombie lore. The story is fine, but let's be real, we watch it for zombie kills and humor. There is a funny callback to the previous movie about a certain death of an iconic actor. Stay for the mid credits scene, it is well worth it. Overall, a solid movie. 8/10.
