The Disturbing Side of The Mind's Eye
When this movie was released, critics were falling over themselves to praise it and while I did enjoy certain aspects of the movie, as a whole I feel that it is quite overrated. The movie is split into two sections, the real world and the fictional world that takes place within the book that Gyllenhaal's character is writing. The story that takes place within the book is gripping and exciting, but the artsy real world setting annoyed me everytime that they cut back to it, I also found Amy Adams to be quite wooden in this performance. The stand out in the movie is definitely Michael Shannon and he steals every single scene that he is in.

Ridiculous. Ridiculously silly. Ridiculously fun.
Ridiculous. Ridiculously funny, silly and blasphemous.

“Your children can’t praise the lord if they’ve got genitals in their mouths!” - Reverend Ritz
So much to snigger at here - notably the slightly-more-mature nudist Mrs Druple and her hazardous wrinkly swinging boobs.

There’s things to learn as well - whoever knew that devilled eggs came from possessed chickens?! Beware folks- evil lurks in the most unlikely of places.

Actually, there are some deep theological questions raised here, such as, Why does this god guy get lost so much? Everyone is always trying to find him.
  
The Addams Family (2019)
The Addams Family (2019)
2019 | Animation, Comedy, Family
Altogether now:

"They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're all together ooky
The Addams family …"

It's now over 20 years since the Addams Family last big-screen outing (in 1993), itself only 2 years after their previous outing in '91.

That means that there is an entrie generation that hasn't seen the Addams Family on the big screen: something that this (animated) film attempts to put right.

And, to damn somewhat with faint praise: this is OK, but doesn't do enough (in my opinion) to really stand out from the crowd, to really be all that memorable: there's no equivalent, say of Wednesday Addams creepy smile ("Stop it! She's scaring me!") in The Addams Family Values, say, or even of the amnesiac Lloyd Fester in the original.
