Sinners

I took a break from Godzilla to watch Sinners and was pleasently surprised with the whole thing. Not that I thought it wouldn't be good -- literally everything I heard about it sounded amazing, just that I didn't go in knowing much specific about it at all.

I knew it had Michael B. Jordan -- twice-- but beyond that I wasn't sure what I was getting into.

I really liked the southern setting. The characters felt fun and unique, the music was incredible the whole way through, everything and everybody looked so good! From sets to costumes to special effects every frame really was a painting in this movie.

I also really liked the contrast between most of the movie having an "invisible special effects" visual and the end scene which has some of the silliest gore and blood effects I have ever seen. It's not quite Evil Dead silly but I did laugh out loud at how absurd it looked, which helped sell how chaotic it moment was!

Over all great movie: great atmosphere, fun story, hot people. No complaints.
