I guess I'm going to be reviewing every movie I watch this year! Not what I expected when I started clearing out my watch list, but I've got lots of movie thoughts this year, I guess.
Solo: A Star Wars Story – I actually tried to watch this one a couple of years ago and couldn't get past the first ten minutes. Something about it just wasn't clicking with me back then. I wasn't too thrilled about a Han Solo origin movie to begin with (I'm not particularly a fan of origin stories), so my thoughts back then (and now) were, basically, "why does this even need to exist?"
I can't say it clicked with me in 2025. This may sound strange, but I don't think it felt like a Star Wars movie. It wasn't because of the lack of Jedi or anything like that, but something about the movie just didn't feel right.
Ringu (1998) – After hearing memes about this movie and the American remake since grade school ("seven days" was a popular thing to say at my school when I was eight years old), it was pretty interesting to finally watch it. I had all these thoughts in my head of what this movie was and basically none of them were right. I thought it was going to be a typical horror movie with jumpscares, I guess, when most of the movie is about investigating where the videotape came from and who's in it. I didn't realize that the whole "Sadako coming out of the TV" scene only happened once, and it was the end of the movie.
