Now... even though I've covered these throughout the year in my end-of-month blogs, here are all the movies I've watched in theatres for 2019, with additional commentary for most, if not for all.
SPOILER ALERT WARNING!!
Since I will be mentioning a good number of movies in this blog, some of them will contain spoilers. Any movie that will contain a spoiler will be marked.
MOVIE: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse [SPOILER]
DATE: January 23
RATING (OUT OF 5): *****
COMMENTS: If I had watched this in 2018, it would have been my top movie of the year! It was extremely good. It made me both happy and sad for all the Spider-Mans in all the universes. It's great that they don't have to feel alone anymore, but they have to be alone in their universe -- and they all suffer a tragic loss. *sniffle*
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Glass [SPOILER]
DATE: February 5
RATING (OUT OF 5): **
COMMENTS: It had some redeeming qualities to it, but was a let down. The trailer misled me on the movie's focus. And that ending... how could Shyamalan decide on that kind of ending???!
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Alita: Battle Angel
DATE: March 4
RATING (OUT OF 5): ***
COMMENTS: I think Alita's design was wonderful, and I liked how it focused on her living as a girl. I enjoyed the moments that were based on the manga / anime.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
DATE: March 5
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was much better than the second movie.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: The Favourite
DATE: March 6
RATING (OUT OF 5): *****
COMMENTS: This was great. Emma Stone was sooooooo gooooooooood. Everybody else was sooooooooooo goooooooooood. Some of the dialogue went by very quickly, but it was great. I'd watch it again -- just to see Emma Stone's performance.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Captain Marvel
DATE: March 19
RATING (OUT OF 5): ***
COMMENTS: I liked that it was mostly a prequel to the Marvel universe. Everything else was as expected for a Marvel movie. Soooooo happy to see Stan Lee's cameo in this!
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Cruel Intentions (20th Anniversary showing)
DATE: March 22
RATING (OUT OF 5): *****
COMMENTS: I never watched it in theatres, so I just had to. There were 7 other movie-goers. I loved it, as I knew I would (it's one of my all-time favourite movies).
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Us
DATE: April 2
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was very good, but very scary! I know it will be a movie I will think back to quite often.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: High Life
DATE: April 18
RATING (OUT OF 5): **
COMMENTS: There were some nice visuals, but it was toooooooo darn slow.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Detective Pikachu
DATE: May 12
RATING (OUT OF 5): ***
COMMENTS: I enjoyed this. It was really cute and Ryan Reynolds was great as Pikachu. I would love to live in a world where pokemon and humans co-existed.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: John Wick 3: Parabellum
DATE: June 2
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: This holds up super well! I was fearful that it'd be a movie with just action, but there was some story and character development as well. Better than the 2nd one, but not as good as the first.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Avengers: Endgame [SPOILER]
DATE: June 11
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was a long movie but it was necessary. Lots of things got addressed and resolved. Though... I was not 100% happy with the outcome.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Rocketman
DATE: June 25
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was a little slow at parts, but I loved the singing. Taron Egerton was amazing as Elton John.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: White Lie [SPOILER]
DATE: September 7
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was great. I hated the main character so I enjoyed all the moments when she didn't get her way. Very good acting.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Weathering With You [SPOILER]
DATE: September 8
RATING (OUT OF 5): *****
COMMENTS: It was gutsy and great. The animation was superb -- I could feel the warmth of the sun's rays or the chill of the heavy showers. And the way it ended -- well done.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Parasite
DATE: October 21, October 23
RATING (OUT OF 5): *****
COMMENTS: It was crazy awesome! So many themes and messages explored, with addictive cinematography. There is something about it that draws you in and makes you want to watch more.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Konosuba -God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!- Legend of Crimson
DATE: November 18
RATING (OUT OF 5): ***
COMMENTS: It's about as funny as the anime series with some touching moments.
************************************************************************************
MOVIE: Knives Out
DATE: December 24
RATING (OUT OF 5): ****
COMMENTS: It was very entertaining and fun. Some of the plot twists I could not predict. Daniel Craig's accent was one of the things I could not predict, hahaha.
************************************************************************************
Movies I wanted to watch in theatres but missed:
Shadow
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Joker
Movies I wanted to watch, BUT GLAD that I missed:
