Superman

When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good. Will intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman's four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help him before it's too late?

This was a great start to the new DCU.   The casting of the three main roles were PERFECT!   They didn't waste our time with the origin thing and just jumped in running.   The other heroes that were introduced didn't take away too much from the main characters but definitely got you intrigued to see where it will go next.   It was a little too sci fi in the middle but outside of that I very much enjoyed a not too heavy superhero movie and like I said - very interested for once to see where things will go with DC.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It was a very fun watch and what going to the movies is all about.

28 Years Later

It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.

This was literally a movie of two halves.   The first half of the move was actually really good.   I liked the set up of the island and the mainland kind of thing with the limited option of how to get there, etc.  I was really digging it.  And then about half way through the movie turned into something completely different and dragged like hell and quite honestly sucked.  Then at the very end - like literally the last two minutes they did the most random connection to the start of the movie and I guess it was nothing but a set up for sequel?   It was all very disjointed and pretty disappointing - especially after how much I enjoyed the first half of the movie.

I would unfortunately not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It started so good but then just went waaaaaay off the rails.

Megan 2.0

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage, its creator, Gemma, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Emlia's self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders. Hoping to stop Emilia, Gemma decides to resurrect M3GAN, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal.

Wow.  I really don't have words to go over how silly this was.   Like . . . . .  it wasn't even scary.   Like they did a sequel to a scary movie about a killer doll and made it a spy comedy almost.   I'm not kidding.   Like as I write that I fully grasp how silly that sounds but it's very accurate.  Like zero scares at all and they just went action, espionage and laughs.   The only reason I was able to push through this was because like they were not even really taking themselves seriously and it was so over the top and silly.   It was still total garbage though.

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.   It is insane how strange it was to watch a sequel that just straight up hopped genres.

Clown In A Cornfield

Looking for a fresh start, Quinn and her father move to the quiet town of Kettle Springs. They soon learn the fractured community has fallen on hard times after losing a treasured factory to a fire. As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning clown emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time.

Was this a good movie?   God no!  Look at the title of it.   LMAO!   But was it a guilty pleasure type of movie that worked for what it was.  Yes.  I never in a million years thought I would have made it through this whole movie.  But the silliness and them at times not taking themselves seriously turned out to be a good mix and I did.

I would still not recommend this to people though.  Only those who can find something like this entertaining even though it is silly as hell.

Jurassic Park: Rebirth

Zora Bennett leads a team of skilled operatives to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park. Their mission is to secure genetic material from dinosaurs whose DNA can provide life-saving benefits to mankind. As the top-secret expedition becomes more and more risky, they soon make a sinister, shocking discovery that's been hidden from the world for decades.

This movie was great for what it was.   They didn't try to do a whole reboot thing.   They didn't focus on redoing stuff.   They just came up with a good enough reason to put the characters on that island and they focused on the scary aspect of the dinosaurs and what not.   They also tried to do lots of things with dinosaurs that had not been done before.   I was massively done with this franchise after that last entry that was so beyond terrible.   This was a great way to regenerate interest after that.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It's a good going to the movies kind of popcorn summer film.

Elio

Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.

This was a textbook Pixar movie.  Great for kids and adults.  Great messaging for children.   Cute characters and a great flow of the story telling.  One of the rare movies nowadays that wasn't too long and didn't drag.   The only knock I can honestly make against this is that it won't stay with you like most of Pixar's classics.  It's really good but could end up being considered forgettable compared to the rest of their library.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  it's a nice and fun/simple watch for families, adults and kids alike.

Ballerina

Ballerina is an upcoming American action thriller film that is the fifth film in the John Wick franchise, serving as a spin-off set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it but like I found this movie kind of boring.  The action was great like in all John Wick universe stuff.  But like it just felt like there was no hook.   And that sounds absurd to say because the "hook" of John Wick was that they killed his dog.  Not a whole lot of substance there.  After talking it over with the bestie it was decided that maybe it was just the actress not having the same allure as Keanu Reeves?   Definitely could be possible but there just felt like something was missing.

It's still worth it for the action and stuff but it just really didn't have the same hook that the John Wick movies did.
