Superman (2025) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"Pretty good all around. The pacing was excellent, but nothing else seemed great, but it's still full of ideas and they all work. The plot just services the action which is good too. Just enough character to not be vapid. A solid foundation to build a movie universe on."
Thunderbolts* (2025) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"Red Guardian is a treasure, nothing annoyed me, paced quickly enough. The rest of the movie is fine, ending was just acceptable. Post credits scene was the same tiresomeness we've been getting from Marvel for the last 5 years."
Doctor Dolittle (1967) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"Boring."
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"Marvel is in a rut. They make OK movies, but that's all they are these days, OK. The mystery isn't mysterious enough, the conflict isn't engaging enough and the characterizations aren't meaty enough. It's not *bad* but none of it is something you're missing out on, and that's what real entertainment should feel like, an experience you just have to have had. Grade: B-/C+"
The Blob (1958) - Rated 01 Mar 2025
"Moderately enjoyable, marred mostly by some absolutely atrocious child acting and female characters who repeatedly show the balance of a toddler, always falling down and needing a man to calm them down. The ending is also mediocre and comes too quickly, failing to build up any tension."
Spies in Disguise (2019) - Rated 30 Dec 2023
"An excellent voice cast underscores a rather imaginative children's sci-fi/spy story that surprisingly didn't become infuriatingly goofy and pandering. There's also a bit of a message here that a few kids and most adults need to hear."
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) - Rated 09 Dec 2023
"It seemed to be less of a story than a collection of events that reference Mario video games. There's a sequence based on Mario Kart. Is that cool? Mario wins a fight because a reference to Super Mario 3D World exists. Is that cool? The whole movie is that over and over again, "progressing" its story with video game references. If you don't care about the references you can't care about this movie. Likely, you shouldn't care about the movie even if you do get the references."
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) - Rated 03 Jun 2023
"The plot and character melt together and are propelled by the sci-fi element in a great way. (I think I'm a fan of Lord and Miller.) The callbacks and the minor retcon of the last movie feel natural and like they belong in the story. And those cameos!"
Sisu (2023) - Rated 30 May 2023
"Save one or two bits of ridiculousness, it's a riotous good time. If you don't want to think much and you think you might enjoy watching an action hero bathe in Nazi blood while oozing style and machismo, you can't do better than this."
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) - Rated 11 May 2023
"It's the worst of the series, but I don't think that it's a failure. It's still better action than the competition and manages to catch fire (somewhat literally) during the last act. Worth a watch if only because Clancy Brown and Donnie Yen are incapable of letting anyone down."
