Rough Night Movie Review

So last night with one of my friends, we went and saw the film Rough Night, and well... It surpassed my expectations.
I only saw the trailer once or twice about a month ago, so I did not really remember much about it. When my friend and I saw it last night we both thought that it would be just a dumb party movie with cheap laughs. just a 2/5 film, but we were oh so wrong.
I will admit that it does start out like just another party film but when it gets to the part were they kill the striper, then it gets oh so good.
I was also surprised to see Bo Burnham! I love his work!
Also Lucia Aniello who wrote (and she also directed) this film with Paul W. Downs, they did a fantastic job with this script! Paul W. Downs also played the bachelor in this film, and I must say he did an impressive job with his comedy.
I also have to applaud Scarlett Johansson, Jillian Bell, Zoë Kravitz, Ilana Glazer, and Kate McKinnon, they all did a fantastic job, and each gave us a good laugh throughout the film. Each of them brought such a level of comedic talent that is greatly appreciated.
One of my complaints though for the film is that some of the lines are kind of weak sometimes, but thankfully that is a rare occurrence. Most of the lines are delivered naturally and appear to be what that person would actually say.
I'm thinking that this is one of the surprise films of the year that more people should take the time to go out and see.


final score: 4/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
