[Hellion]

Deadpool 2

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's an odd little film, the first hour or so is fairly engaging as the tension builds, then it kinda stumbles over itself, worth a watch though. 6.5/10

Saw that on VHS tape in early 80's. Remember it as an interesting little thriller. I really liked Curtis back then.

[Hunter Rider]

Decent little supernatural thriller with a lot of atomsphere and a creepy twist. 7/10

I actually felt where the film slipped was when Jamie Lee Curtis went out of it and it focused solely on Keach questioning his sanity.

Dracula (1931)

Tomb Raider - 5/10

Hits all the beats in such a bland and assembly line fashion that it hardly feels like a movie and more like an AI reconstruction of one. Has spare moments of personality and fun, and I appreciate its willingness to stay somewhat 'small' in the age of overblown blockbusters, but it never nears the realm of engaging.

Tomorrow Never Dies

 

[MadderMaximus]

Wildling ............ B

While the premise sounded at first like the book, Howling III (not the movie), surface details are all that's similar. That alone was what caught my attention, because I love that book and have been annoyed that the studios that own the rights never gave it an adaption (yet can make crappy werewolf movies in its place). Very well acted with Liv Tyler, Brad Dourif, and especially the girl who plays Anne. James Le Gros plays "The Wolf Man" which caught me off guard, but cool to see him working in more than a David Fincher cameo. He probably does, I just don't see him often. Teeters very close to a teen drama in the middle, but luckily doesn't dive right in, and we start seeing how dangerous the girl can be, just by instinct. The CGI FX are dodgy, mostly in the second act, but the practical FX are pretty decent. It's kind of a werewolf movie, they don't outright say it and there's very little to go off of for the usual lore, but it's kinda like the Pathfinder weaker werewolf race the Shifter. Only in this case, the change seems permanent, like in Ginger Snaps. Slow burn, but the third act moves pretty quick.

Superfly

It's surprisingly enjoyable for the most part. It's a modern take on the original and they do a great job on making the film visually very stylish. Plot wise, I feel like they were trying to go for a Scarface vibe that has some tongue in cheek humor. The villains were straight out of a comic book and I mean that in a good way. There are some problems that I have with it. They spend too much time on scenes that have nothing to do with the plot. It drags a lot in the middle and when the plot does picks up towards the end, they wrap it up way too easily. That being said, it's a decent modern day blaxploitation movie that could have been better.
7/10

Ocean's 8 - 6/10

All the complaints I have for this film apply for each of the Soderbergh films, but this one also doesn't have his direction. The characters are fun, the pace is breezy and enjoyable and there are clever bits. James Corden and Anne Hathaway are surprisingly great. That said, some of crew like Rihanna, Kaling's and Awkafina's characters seem almost invisible after their intros, and Bullock and Blanchett feel to be sleepwalking through their roles, as much as they possess a natural charisma of their own.
