Quick Take: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum takes its action to new violent heights with a surprising amount of dry humor. However, despite the best efforts of the talented cast, the jumbled pacing and disjointed storytelling make this the weakest in the franchise for anyone looking for more than running action set pieces.

Quick Take: Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is adorable and effective in its simplicity. It is a hero's quest driven by its central two characters that has enough going for it to be far better than it has any right to be and surprisingly emotional in its key revelations, opening up the potential for future Pokemon movies.

Talking about Avengers: Endgame without discussing the entire picture of this film was difficult. My initial review is linked above, and it's not all that effective a review. I feel like I'm really dancing around giving any indication of what this movie is all about.

It's a big movie loaded with fascinating decision that at times don't all work in unison and at other times work better than I thought was ever possible. This is a spectacular achievement of a movie even more so than the already impressive Avengers: Infinity War.

It's time to get down to what makes this movie. It's far more than any one element. It is a collection of ideas and moments that make this a true reflection of the world and stories that brought us all to this moment.

***Spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers past this point. Just watch the movie first please.***

Quick Take: Avengers: Endgame is the greatest piece of fan service ever put on screen. Beautifully crafted with care and attention brought to a decade-plus of storytelling, it is silly, ridiculous, emotionally powerful, utterly engrossing, and the most impossible success of a film I have ever seen.

Quick Take: Teen Spirit manages the stresses of a reality singing competition while adding a melancholy edge to the rags to riches dream of such entertainment. Carried by a weighty performance from Elle Fanning, it is emotionally engaging and driven by a memorable pop soundtrack.
