Movie Roundup #6

1) The Peanut Butter Solution: This is a children's horror movie about the parentification of an eldest daughter. There is also a solid B-plot about a little boy who loses all his hair after a fright. It was less messed up than the movie store guy made it out to be, but it was still pretty weird. Favorite line: "It's easy to be funny in a madhouse. Just be normal."

2) 9 to 5: This was the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life. I had no idea what it was about! I always just thought it was "Dolly Parton Goes to Work." I laughed every second. This movie's major flaw is that we never saw the guy from the mailroom get a promotion. Favorite line: "Are you a woman or a wouse?"

3) Hunt for the Red October: This is a movie about accents. Every man who existed in 1990 is in it. Dr. Beverly Crusher is there too. A bunch of men in regular sized penis boats feel threatened by a much bigger penis boat. I was bored a lot but ultimately thought the resolution was clever. Demerits for insufficient Dr. Beverly Crusher and for 20 minutes of overwrought saboteur hijinks at the end. Bonus points for a Moby-Dick Moment. 

4) Nobody: What if John Wick got his wish and became a family man, but still kept it tight just in case, and then just in case happened? Kevin called it Home Alone for adults. He is right. We enjoyed it. Recommended for fans of violence and Bob Odenkirk.

*****

Theater bonus! Asteroid City: This, like others before it, is a movie mostly about Scarlett Johansson's beauty, which is ALMOST enough to carry a film but not quite. I chuckled a few times but already forgot why. Nice visuals, but there's just not a whole lot to care about.
