Novocaine

★★★ Liked Rewatched

You know you enjoy a film when you say Ouch and Damn That Had To Hurt throghout thw whole run time.

By the time he reached the end, no telling how many infections he picked up.

Thia film is sheer entertainment and not too deep. Jack Quaid, son of Dennis Quiaf and Meg Ryan, was convincing and solid with his his facial expressions. Ray Nicholson, Jack Nicholson's son, was intense and tough.

The action was creative due to rhe premise…

The ant²

2025

★★★★ Rewatched

In this film, we watch our boys tackle human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The ant does his special thing with his equally special team and reach out to his brother for help.
There us myatery, intrigue, humor, amd plenty of action. Affleck and Bernthal have great chemistry and one hopes for more films.
I liked the brotherly dynamic that was played out and the night out to the honky tonk was a slick side story.
It is full of great nuggets like the chair and cat.
In short, it is interwsting, fun, and entertaing which makes for a great time out at the movies.
Peace.

Whew! This is a cinematic achievement. It is not just a film but also a harrowing experience.

The camera work and cinemaphotography are a major part of this film. You feel like you are right there. The long shots without edit in this movie are super impressive.

It is not an easy film as it shows the brutality of WW I. It is intense and your blood pressure will change more than once.

This film should be seen on a big screen. The sound and soundtrack enhance this experience.

Brutal, sad, honest, and an experience you will not soon forget.

Peace, it really is worth it.

No spoilers or plot details here. Chalk me up as one of the people who enjoyed this film.
I am reacting on feelings here and I felt happy with this and I was smiling at the end.
I have no idea if this is how the arc was originally intended or not. Certainly neither of the two earlier films in this trilogy could be ignored. Yet, I feel an honest effort was made to please old school Star Wars fans…
