Anaconda - Why'd It Have To Be Snakes?
This movie was a bit of a mixed bag. While it was somewhat enjoyable, it was just as dumb as I thought it would be. It was at times, a little too over the top. There were a few moments that were quite relatable.

Wake Up Dead Man - Killer Mystery
Rian Johnson knows how to write a compelling mystery. A mystery that seems so impossible only one man can solve it...Adrian Monk. Wait, no. Benoit Blanc, but let's face it, Monk and Team Psych could put it together too.

The Running Man - Old vs New
Problem is in this future, the US is run by an authoritarian media network...far fetched, I know. Viewers are poor and with very little access to needed health care...again, far fetched, I know.

Good Fortune - OK Movie
Keanu. A guardian angel. Aziz. A down on his luck guy living out of his car. Seth. Billionaire investor. Combined, it has the capacity to be a good movie. Sadly, this one was just okay. Keanu plays Gabriel, an angel that helps prevent accidents because people are texting and driving, but he wants to do more. Another angel colleague out there is helping save souls. That's what he wants to do. Arj (Aziz Ansari) is an aspiring documentarian, but like many in the media/entertainm

Black Phone 2 - Voices of the Past
I saw the first Black Phone when it reached streaming. I laid in bed after a long day of work, heard good things about it, so I gave it a try. It was a fantastic horror movie. The suburbs of Denver are being rocked by a serial killer known as The Grabber. He kidnaps kids and they're never seen again. The story centers around one of the kids that's taken...Finn. As the days tick by, Finn tries to find ways to escape, his only help is the spirits of the kids The Grabber has ki

The Strangers: Chapter 2 - Is It Over Yet?
Strangers Poster So, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this movie series. I didn't overly love the first chapter. A lot of it boils down to the protagonist, Maya. She's as smart as she is dumb. There are multiple times where she did something smart to survive, then did something stupid. If you stab someone trying to kill you with a pitchfork and walk away without stabbing again in their face, definitely ending them...you know nothing of survival. The movie itself

Weapons - Weirdly Fun Time
Horror movies get a lot of flack, but this year, there's been a lot of really decent ones. Sinners and this one are probably two of the top of the year. They're smartly written and tell an interesting story.

I Know What You Did Last Summer - The Requel
I was a teen when these originals came out. Didn't watch the series or the direct to DVD sequel, but did follow Love's journey as Julie James. I enjoy horror movies for the fun, the spectacle. With movies like this, I enjoy the mystery element. Trying to figure out who's hiding behind the mask or in this case, slicker hat.

Superman - The DCU Is Born
Superman should have heart. Be a symbol for hope. He sometimes questions his decisions and his place in the world because, though he's an alien, he was raised by human and still tends to act like one. This is what Gunn's Superman represents. The ideals of what Superman is and what we all could be.

Man Of Steel - Into the Snyderverse
Cavil looks the role as Superman. The costume and the look, it all worked. He was a tough and serious Superman. What I never realized until after a few watches is that I didn’t feel that spark of hope.

Superman Returns - Past Meets Present
He decided to make it a requel, a sequel to Superman II and a reboot all in one. This, in my opinion, was one of the first steps in making the movie flop. I absolutely love the Reeve movies. Singer should have instead, honored the past and what he loved about those Superman movies and did a full reboot. You can tell how hard he was trying to honor the originals, but you have to grow and evolve as a franchise. Move forward, but remember the past.

Superman IV: Christopher Reeve's Swan Song as Superman
What if this could have been a good movie? What if there was potential to be something pretty decent? Not as great as the first two, but potentially better than the third.

Megan 2.0 - Its a Warning, Not a How To
AI of course can be a wonderful and useful tool, depending on how we use it. It learns and becomes what it is based on what we feed it. Given the current climate of the world, I would advise against using any AI robots in the military in the distant future. Cause you know...again, Terminators.

Superman II: The Donner Cut - Zod, Love and Consequences
Despite the glaring plot holes, this is a great movie. It’s fun and it shows how challenging it is for Clark to be both Clark and Superman. Wanting to live his day to day as Clark with Lois, but having to run off and save the world from terrorists or get a cat out of a tree. He chooses to help. To do good. To make the world better.
