HELLBOY



Hell on.....well everywhere



PRAISE

David Harbour as Hellboy easily steps into the big shoes of Ron Perlman and the shaved horned B.P.R.D. agent.
The practical SFX and CGI are outstanding .I was shocked i laughed so much throughout the movie.

PROBLEMS:What an ultra predictable script !! I couldnt wait for some scenes to end,with characters spitting out lines about what they were going to do and who or what they were going to kill and or destroy.Extremely repetitive moments.
A lot of wasted talent on the screen.
Watch it on cable and marvel at the SFX and CGI

Scale of 1-10 a 4



Men in Black: International




I told those producers at SONY not to make this movie !!



PRAISE:I loved every extreme close up shot of Tessa Thompsons lovely face and...oh yes she does a fine job as Molly Wright / Agent M.
I enjoyed some of the SFX and new aliens featured in the movie.A few laughs here and there.

PROBLEMS:When 50% of a movie is basically a copy and paste job it's very hard for me to stay focused on whats happening...i mean why should i care?
Same MIB fish out of water story...with bland characters or obnoxious ones like Rafe Spall as Agent C
Then throw in some predictable turns and my mind is off to what new beers i want to try later on.


Good for background noise please no more MIB ....SONY...IM BEGGING YOU !!

Little Women

It's comfort food for fans of period pieces and and old Hollywood that comes with a modern tinge. It essentially is a coming of age film for four characters set in the Civil War era. Greta Gerwig does a great job directing it and for the most part cuts through the dryness with these kinds of movies. While some of the performances were good, Florence Pugh and Saoirse Ronan were the clear stand out stars and they had the most to work with. That being said, it is one of those movies that you know where it's headed and even through it was acknowledged. isn't doing anything new necessarily outside of the non linear storytelling. I've never read the original novel, but this seems to be the typical movie teachers play during the last week of school after the class read the book. Overall, it's just fine.
7.5/10

Late Night

A pretty conventional yet charming comedy/drama that takes a look inside the late night talk show scene and the workplace environment. Because of the very formulaic plot, the film kinda goes through the motions. It works best when it's just Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling on screen and even then, the movie isn't really as laugh out loud hilarious as it wants to be. Another problem is they don't flesh out Mindy Kaling's character as much as Emma Thompson's character. It's one of these cases where on paper it sounded great, but it needed a punch up writer to give it some life to it. Overall, it's just average.
6.5/10

47 Meters Down: Uncaged


It's 1,000x better than the original, but that's not saying much. The movie takes a page from other horror sequels by starting completely new with new characters and not really redoing the first film. It's also more competently made and directed than the first one. However, it's still got the same horror cliches that happen in every shark movie. They did a good job setting up the final girl and having that pay off at the end. It's gets super claustrophobic which really worked at times and there's some good horror action in the 3rd act. That being said, it ends up pretty average overall. Crawl is probably the better version of this kind of movie.
6/10
 
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker

Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley shine in this repetitive slog of a film. They should've kept Rian Johnson around for one more film.

7/10
 
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) - After the entertaining and sometimes thrilling Wrath of Khan, this was a borefest in comparison. The entire set up to Spock's revival was completely dull and long-winded, with no performances worth talking about.

Christopher Lloyd brought some intensity in his role but it was still completely forgettable, like everything else in the movie.

3/10.
 
Annihilation

Started out a little intriguing but moved slowly and the payoff was underwhelming.
