Movies

• Everything Everywhere All At One: I'd heard a lot about the movie so I watched it. It's a very good movie, with a lot of Kung-Fu (too much for some), family drama and emotions. The settings are greatAlthough, for my taste, it wouldn't quite need the dick and ass jokes. and all the actors are brilliant. But in the end, I don't know, I had somehow expected more. The film didn't move me to tears or change my view of/on the world. So, good movie, but not "movie of the decade", as some have described it. 7/10
