I have mostly mixed feelings about this one because on one hand the performances are pretty strong and it's an exceptionally well made film but on the other hand there were just too many long stretches were not a whole lot happened and the ending was one of the biggest and most predictable cop outs I've seen in some time. Saying all that though I don't think it's a bad film overall.

6/10

I'm surprised I haven't heard more buzz on this one especially since it's been out for a while now. I really enjoyed this and man Taron Egerton is quickly becoming one of the best character actors working today. His gritty transformation in this is seriously impressive and I thought the young actress playing his daughter was great too.

7.5/10

A pretty solid disaster flick. It actually reminded me a lot of a 90's disaster movie eventhough it's mostly inspired by real events which is obviously very devastating.

7/10

A solid conspiracy thriller. I can't really say that I've ever seen a film quite like this one either which made it feel somewhat unique and the fact that it's from the director of Hell or High Water is pretty interesting as well.
 


This is Craig's equivalent of Live and Let Die, the pace is relentless, there's 3 good action sequences, the plane one being the standout, and it's an easy watch, but the editing can be headache inducing and it's all a bit hollow as the movie never stops to breathe.

7.8/10
 
The Island it's cheesy as heck but I still enjoy it I love how clueless Ewan and Scarlett's characters are when they first get to the real world
 
STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 PART ONE ( 2025)

Five years ago, as the world was in lock down mode, I finally caught onto the phenomenon that was Stranger Things, and binged watch the series from the start to through season 3.

Now as the rag tag group of friends, family, and lovers , embark on their quest to defeat the Upside Down once and for all , the first four episodes , imo , mark a valiant return to form after a 3 year absence .

There is a little bit of a set up, but for the most part, the show hits the ground running, ditching the foot dragging and slow walking that can come with the premiere of a long absent show.

The Duffers and the rest of the crew seem to realize that audiences have waited long enough, and it's time to get down to business .

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of these characters have won the public's imagination and it's fun to revisit the 1980s , in addition to visual and audio cues which take me back to that time period.

Seeing Winona Ryder and Linda Hamilton of course is always nice.

The scenes with Winona Ryder and Mia Hawke are particularly nice given Winona acted with her father Ethan Hawke 30 years ago in Reality Bites .

I can't wait for the last episodes , though, I wouldn't blame anyone for holding off on these 4, and waiting for the complete whole Season 5 to binge .

One of the songs featured in Season 5 was a hit cover song by Tiffany.
