Luca (2021)
Pixar does it again!
Luca was a beautiful movie that just shows why Pixar will forever be great. The visuals for an animated movie are some of the best I've ever seen. The musical score was decent at best and lacked a little for me. The story was good and had deeper meanings and life lessons about not being afraid to come out and be your true self. It's a story of acceptance and a beautiful one at that. I really enjoyed Luca and would give it a solid 8.5/10.
Pig (2021)
Painfully Slow
I will start by saying that I'm a Nicolas Cage fan. I think he's great. I recognize a lot of his movies stink but I think he's a likable guy. With that said, I saw Pig had great critic reviews and I like Nicolas Cage so I was eager to see it. I left the theater very disappointed and I had to wake my wife up before we left. Pig is a beautifully filmed cinematic delight. The musical score went excellent with the scenes and added a very nice feel to the movie. I even thought the acting of Nicolas Cage and Alex Wolff was good! However, the whole movie is just a long EXTREMELY DRAWN OUT story that you are waiting to take off and get interesting, but it unfortunately never does. It feels like nothing happens the whole movie which was the ultimate disappointment after reading many of the great reviews. Maybe I'm missing some deeper meaning, but overall Pig is slow and many scenes don't even make sense. I would not recommend this film if you want to save yourself 2 hours. 4.8/10.
