| 70 61% | The Fall Guy (2024) - Rated 11 Jul 2024
"I'm surprised at the lukewarm reception this is getting. It's nothing out-of-this-world, but it is consistently funny and charming, and the stunt work is appropriately fantastic. That said, while Blunt does a great job with what she's given, her character was underwritten."

| 68 55% | Elemental (2023) - Rated 09 Jul 2024
"It's cute, but doesn't feel like anything really special. I coincidentally watched this right after a re-watch of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and they are shockingly similar."

| 53 20% | A Family Affair (2024) - Rated 09 Jul 2024
"There are a handful of good jokes, but very little else to hang your hat on because the romance isn't especially engaging. I do like both Efron and Kidman, and they are both charming enough."

| 63 42% | The Living Daylights (1987) - Rated 27 Jun 2024
"Always fun to see how the new guy does in the role, and I think Dalton finds the character nicely. Unfortunately the other characters in this one don't really shine."

| 63 42% | Strange Way of Life (2023) - Rated 25 Jun 2024
"Interesting short that was not what I was expecting for whatever reason. It's a good story and Hawke and Pascal are strong in it. But, and perhaps just because it's a short, it doesn't feel like it's anything more than the sum of its parts."

| 74 75% | Hit Man (2024) - Rated 15 Jun 2024
"An actor's dream role, and Powell does it justice. Entirely rejects the notion of subtlety and there's no actual point here (despite some elements that might suggest there should be), but it is a lot of fun. Powell and Arjona have a real chemistry and the movie doesn't take itself any more seriously than it should."

| 57 27% | A View to a Kill (1985) - Rated 29 May 2024
"I quite like the various Bond opening action scenes that center around skiing, and this one was no exception. Moore is just too old and, while he's never been my favorite, it's only getting worse as it goes. I'm looking forward to some new blood, though I understand I should temper my expectations for the next guy."

| 68 55% | No Hard Feelings (2023) - Rated 28 May 2024
"This had a lot of heart and a lot of laughs. Jennifer Lawrence absolutely crushes it in both her character and her comedy."

| 54 22% | The Idea of You (2024) - Rated 28 May 2024
"Why is Michael Showalter directing this if they aren't going to make it funny? The main issue with this is that the male love interest has no discernible flaws. I guess that's what makes it a great female fantasy, but it doesn't make for an interesting story. Hathaway is great (when isn't she?), but it's not enough."

| 63 42% | Players (2024) - Rated 20 May 2024
"The supporting cast/friend group here is funny, which is usually what separates a good romcom from a bad one. The problem for the movie was that it was structured in a way where the (actual) male romantic lead was part of the friend group, so he had to mostly play the straight man and didn't get to be funny enough. What is the point of casting a Wayans and then not letting him be funny? Rodriguez was impressive in the lead and it's overall a good, standard Netflix romcom."
