Venom: The Last Dance

Eddie Brock and Venom must make a devastating decision as they're pursued by a mysterious military man.

Dear lord this has been such a trash ass trilogy.   LOL!  The first movie was so bad that I was openly heckling the screen in the theater.  The second one was a joke but like a little bit more watchable.  This was just beyond mailed in.   Like Men In Black 2 level mailed in sequel.  Completely pointless.  Just kind of swept away all of the teases from the last one of continuity with the rest of the Spidey Universe.   Just seriously trash.

I would not recommend anyone ever bothering with this.   it was really really bad and so beyond pointless in every way.

The Substance

Elisabeth Sparkle, renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday as her boss fires her. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself.

Okay.  This is by far one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen.  It had a great premise and great actors.  For the first 90 minutes even though there were some serious holy shit moments I was loving the movie.  And then it might actually take the cake for the most off the rails movies I have ever seen from that point on for the remaining 40 minutes.  Like you are just staring at the screen thinking WHAT . . . . THE . . . . . FUCK!?! 

Like I want to tell people to watch the first 90 minutes and stop and imagine how you would like it to end instead of ever suggesting someone watch the last 40 minutes of this insane movie.

Smile 2

About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley begins to experience increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and pressures of fame, she must face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.

This is kind of a tough one to review.   I was loving it for like two hours.  I actually liked it more than the first one.  Tons of great jump scares.  Lots of crazy and creepy as hell filming angles that added so much tensions to scenes.  I like the pacing even though the movie was a little bit too long.  It was easier to understand than the first one which kind of lost me at one point.  And you really were hooked by the lead character.   But then there was the last like 3 minutes.   I don't want to spoil it but like they did that one thing that I HATE in horror movies.  Like when you reveal what the evil entity looks like don't drop the ball.  The definitely did.  I loved the idea of what they were going for but the physical reveal was just complete trash.

It's a shame because I actually really would have recommended people checking it out but that last scene really annoyed the hell out of me so I'll go with a go see it but leave 10 minutes early.  

Heretic

Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed. Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they want to make it out alive.

This movie was boring as hell.  The trailer actually made it look kind of cool and creepy but none of that stuff really happened until the last 20-30 minutes.   Prior to that it was like 90 minutes of religious convos all theological and philosophical.  I nodded off like 4 times trying very hard to stay interested and it just was not happening.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.  Especially not if you were interested in watching based on the trailer.  That was complete false advertising basically.   LOL

Here

Multiple generations of couples and families inhabit the same home over the course of a century.

Um . . . . .  this was a good premise . . . . . . for like a museum exhibit.   Like the filming of the same room no matter what through all those years and different times/families was a cool idea and I enjoyed the filming style that it created.   But like outside of that it was just a blatant series of heartstring pulls.  Like this would have been a much better 15-20 minute exhibit at a museum but did not remotely have the legs to be a quality movie.

I would not really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's not bad but it's really not too much more than an interesting filmmaking premise.  Very much lacking substance.

Saturday Night

Tensions run high as producer Lorne Michaels and a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers prepare for the first broadcast of "Saturday Night Live" on Oct. 11, 1975.

I can't really put my finger on why but I absolutely loved this movie.   I loved how hectic it was.  I loved how real it felt.  I loved the things touched upon and the people referenced.  I loved how they tried to build up the known characters enough even though it was a real time movie.   It really gave me so much more respect then I already had for Saturday Night Live as a production.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very enjoyable movie and told in a great yet incredibly hectic way that very much prevented a minute of it dragging at all.

We Live In Time

Almut and Tobias are brought together by a surprise encounter that changes their lives. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of their unconventional love story.

This was kind of strange and disjointed way of telling their love story.  Like I got the premise but I felt like it hurt their story overall.  Outside of that it was a decent heartstring puller with good performances by both actors.  Just not really good enough to openly be saying it must be seen.

I would only lukewarmly recommend people check this out.  It is very much not a must see by any means but it is a decent watch for a romance with ALOT of heartstring pulling as well.
