Dominic Toretto voice: “This film is all about family and how, even in though some are problematic, you don’t leave family behind.”

Overall the definition of fine. Another Disney live-action adaptation that didn’t need to be made, but is also not a chore to watch. The drama surrounding the sisters’ predicament was more interesting than the Stitch running wild antics. This film won’t stay in one’s mind long, but my daughter, the target demographic, and the other kids in the theatre loved it.

This review may contain spoilers.

So this magical AI can visualize a person’s future, infiltrate every conversation and high tech system, throw the world into chaos in two short months, but hasn’t figured out how to speak outside of its special A Clockwork Orange box? I would be willing to forgive such logic if the dialogue and overall plot wasn’t as bad as it is. 

Also, Fast & Furious could teach this series a thing or two about how to retcon its history in a fun way. This film’s attempt just felt soulless and forced.

Two positives: Tramell Tillman and that plane set piece.

Really enjoyed the way Alana’s and Vincent’s journey parallel each other. While I was aspecting Alana’s path to be rich with nuance, I was pleasantly surprised to see an honest portrayal of how peer pressure, and not necessarily mass media, can shape masculinity in problematic ways.

Basically Taken (can’t believe it has been 17 years already) for this generation. As far as Statham action films go this one delivers everything you want. The main downside is that there are a few too many eccentric villains that have nothing to do but look sinister and/or ridiculous.

John Gavin Stevens: “Put him in a cell, did you?
Jail Guard: “Sheriff’s orders. I don’t know what the next white man that figures he can’t rest good till he kill’s somebody, is gonna think about it.

This exchange, and the scene where Crawford Gowrie walks through the crowd towards the jail with a full cannister of gasoline, will forever be seared into my brain. A great film that deserved to be discussed in the same conversation as To Kill a Mockingbird for its portrayal and messages about racism in America. Juano Hernandez is fantastic as Lucas Beauchamp, a character that embodies strength and never feels like a caricature of Black man.

Two Oscar winners, a talented ing cast, some nice choreographed action and yet the film manages to be devoid of any personality. Shakir and Tipton display more romantic chemistry in their brief ing roles than the leads do. All involved deserved better than this.

This review may contain spoilers.

This whole film revolves around Grace repeatedly making bad decisions, and putting everyone’s life in danger in the process, so that she can eventually come to her senses and the IMF. Since this franchise has a weird one woman only rule, a beloved character is removed to make space for her. Honestly, I can’t decide whether Grace’s arc or the silly AI villain hinders the film the most.

A solid noir about how paranoia and guilt can blind you from the things that matter most, such as love and family, in life. Winters is fantastic in this.

Films that focus on the fragility of the male ego are my catnip.

“Righteousness without power is just an opinion”

The second half plays even better on repeat viewing. The mental health outshines the generic Marvel plot points, and I’m completely fine with that. This is one of those films that will probably become comfort viewing for me.

Delivers the type of fun and action you hope for. Love that Quaid’s Nate remains the nerdy common man throughout. Rather than go full superhero, he only knowingly uses his ability to his advantage as a last resort in each conflict.

The Usual Suspects of vampire films…until it wasn’t. A fun set up but the film throws too much at the wall to stick the landing.

This film fits the overall tone of the franchise better than the first one. However, it still has the same problem as its predecessor. Rather than spend more time with the suspects, to build a sense of intrigue, the film opts to verbalize every obvious twist and turn.

The film relies too heavily on lenghty exposition to make the murder mystery elements and various twists fit together.

Intriguing premise with some solid ideas throughout. Unfortunately, the film needed more time to develop its characters and overall plot.

As much I enjoy action films where the bullets are endless and heroes/anti-heroes consistently dodge gunfire at close range, the convoluted plot really kills the overall energy of Havoc. The film doesn’t spend enough time with the various competing factions for the audience to care about what happens to any of them.

It’s the action sequences where Gareth Evans’ film really comes to life. Whether it’s a shoot out in a nightclub that would make John Wick say “whoa,” or the creative ways characters find new weapons during a battle in a cabin, the set pieces are visually fascinating and gleefully outlandish. Unfortunately, the stuff that set the stage for those moments aren’t as interesting.

From now on I'm going to shelter-in-place whenever I hear that Irish folk music outside.

Really enjoyed Coogler's vision and the way he effortlessly weaves together history, mysticism, colonialism, vampire lore, religion, and music to create a thrilling blockbuster. Also loved that Sinners takes its time to establish the various characters and their connections to each other and the region. While there are two messy moments that irked me, mainly because they serve no other purpose but to sloppily move the plot forward, that masterful dance sequence in the middle more than makes up for those sections.

Watched on Monday April 14, 2025.

One of the horniest beach rom coms about a group of men, one of whom refers to himself as a "sex maniac," trying to keep a young woman chaste. Elvis is kind of bland as the pied piper of love, whose tunes can bring all the couples of the bushes, car trunks, etc, but the ing cast saves the film. The “Mayday” running gag made me chuckle every damn time.

We need more films where Viola Davis gets to embrace her action star side. She is great when in badass mode, although G20 takes an overly long time to get there. While better than most of these straight to streaming star-studded action flicks, it still falls into the same script problems. The last act in particular is so silly and almost derails the entire film.

On a side note, I find it funny that "Wakanda" has become screenwriter shorthand for Black people kicking ass. You can tell instantly, especially in how it was used here, that the writers are not Black.

The sound design is the best part of the film. Thankfully this wasn’t the sensational ment for the navy that I thought it would be (honestly cannot see anyone ing after seeing this film). However, the fact that Warfare documents a specific point of time does not leave much room for any sort of meditation on the nature of war or who the real victims are in all of the chaos.

Might be one of Smith’s weakest films but he assembles a great cast. Even though Yoga Hosers feels less toothy than Tusk, I still want to see him finish his planned True North Trilogy. Give the world Moose Jaws, Mr. Smith!

Loved that the film takes time to really delve into layers of conflict within Cicely. That video store scene in the last act truly earns all of its emotions. A gem of a film that I look forward to revisiting.

The cast, the car chase, the way Chance hops over furniture as if he’s in a Broadway musical, it is all wonderful.

Enjoyed how Clay be popping into a swat team meeting, highly fortified buildings, etc. Just so he can let everyone know the destruction he is about to cause.
