Determined to revive her startup's dwindling success, an innovative young CEO hires a middle-aged, traditional businessman to join her hardworking team. Riding A Unicorn is comical fun episode after episode, that I'd highly recommend. Kotori is cheerful, hardworking, eager to learn new things, and his way of doing things has benefits that helps the company. It's honestly refreshing to find shows like this.

I love how non-politically-correct this movie is. It's raw and irreverently funny, and just an overall enjoyable watch. Vincent has Tourette's Syndrome, and he is limited by his tics to the point where he cannot sit still, drive, and involuntarily has a clown that, in his own words, "sh*ts between his thoughts," and that leads to misunderstandings during social interactions. He meets Marie and Alex at the treatment hospital, where each has a reason for being there. It becomes more heartfelt as you see the three patients go from not being able to stand each other--to becoming friends as a reluctant Alex and mischievious Marie help Vincent get to the ocean.

As a fan of his aesthetic, being heavily influenced by German Expressionism, characterized by exaggerated backdrops, high color contrasts, and a dreamlike unreality... I can still admit when there are hits and misses with Burton's filmography. Michael Keaton is fun and quirky as always, and Jenna Ortega is a perfect fit for this genre. I think she does really well in these types of roles and she was great in Scream, which I found more entertaining than Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, sadly, because I didn't want to have that mixed reaction that left me thinking "meh". I gave this movie 3-stars because I felt a tad bored in some parts. It didn't hold my attention as much as films like Sweeney Todd or Sleepy Hollow did. It kind of felt all over the place with too many arcs and that did affect the pacing for me. While Beetlejuice is present, I felt like a show about the titular character would be the main focus. It kept bouncing around with some eternally slow scenes--to a completely random scene with Beetlejuice thrown in for a brief moments of shenanigans. There's way too many plot points being crammed in. Anyway, those are my thoughts. My biggest positive I took away from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was...thank goodness it wasn't Hocus Pocus 2.

I enjoyed the treasure hunting aspect and mystery, and the best characters, in my opinion, would be John B and JJ. John B is the leader, Kiara or "Kie" is the heart, Pope is the brains, and JJ is the Pogue of mischief. End of the day, he is there for his friends when it counts. The comedy is natural and doesn't feel forced like it is in most shows these days, where it's hardly funny at all. There was some actual thought put into this story and its characters. I would definitely recommend Outer Banks.
