MaXXXine (2024)

MaXXXine is the final film in the trilogy that included X and Pearl.  All three are different types of movies.  X with its classic 70s slasher vibe, Pearl with its suspense and character development while MaXXXine takes us to the glam of 1980s Hollywood while building up the anticipation.  I thought I saw where MaXXXine might take us but I was wrong.  I liked the suspense and the story.  The last 30 minutes or so felt like a bit of a letdown.  After Pearl I expected something different as the movie built to a climax.  Don't take that too negatively.  Just my expectations as I watched.  I recommend all three movies in the trilogy.  X was my favorite with Pearl right behind it.  And Kevin Bacon plays a prominent role in the movie.
