F1

In the 1990s, Sonny Hayes was Formula 1's most promising driver until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, the owner of a struggling Formula 1 team convinces Sonny to return to racing and become the best in the world. Driving alongside the team's hotshot rookie, Sonny soon learns that the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

This movie was great!   It was very much a throwback kind of a movie with the good character development in terms of old friends, teammates overcoming stuff, romance, etc all balanced just right.   And the racing stuff was filmed in a way that made you feel like you were there in the car getting all tense throughout.   At no point did I think I would come into the summer movie season and as of the 4th of July very emphatically saying that this was my favorite movie of the year so far.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It was a great ride across the board and a throwback to what made going to the movies feel so rewarding / enjoyable.

The Bad Guys 2

Reformed criminals Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Ms. Tarantula are trying very hard to be good. However, they soon find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes heist that's masterminded by a new team of delinquents they never saw coming -- the Bad Girls.

I liked the first movie.  I don't know that it was good enough for a sequel but it's animated so it was probably inevitable.   The great voice casting carried over and the story was paced fast enough that the adults are not over this movie before it ends.  

I would recommend families check this out.  It's a decent watch.  Not a must see but it's enjoyable enough for parents as well as the kids.   It's not up there with Dreamworks finest but still good enough.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. One year later, the past comes back to haunt them as they learn someone knows what they did last summer. Stalked by a mysterious killer, they soon seek help from two survivors of the legendary Southport massacre of 1997.

Okay.  I'm going to kind of spoil something I guess to stress how incredibly dumb this reboot or whatever it was of a horror franchise that absolutely nobody was asking for was.   In the original - the teenagers hit someone with their car killing him and having to keep that secret.  At least that was a valid secret to base everything on.   In this one - they are on the road when a guy swerves and goes off the cliff all on his own.   There was no crime.  There was no murder.   There was no need for any secret at all of what they "did" last summer.   And this was like 15 minutes in.  Right from that I was kind of done with this movie since the title and whole premise were irrelevant.   Because last summer what they did was . . . . . absolutely nothing.   They witnessed an accident.  That's it.   No crime whatsoever.   From there it was just incredibly horrible acting and some of the cheesiest dialogue in a long time.  

I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this.   Like ever.   Because again - they didn't do anything last summer.   Just saying.

Nobody 2

Workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell takes his family on a much-needed vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. However, he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff, and a bloodthirsty crime boss.

The original was a decent watch for what it was and this is pretty much just more of the same.  It's short, has lots of mindless action and violence and that's about it.   If you enjoy that or the first one I don't see why you wouldn't feel the same way about this one.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend people checking this out because it is not a must see by any means whatsoever.  Its the definition of a decent watch for what the movie is.

Eddington

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbour is pitted against neighbour in Eddington, N.M.

This is a tough one to review.  2020 was very difficult for me on many levels as well as plenty of other people.   It might be too soon for a movie like that that very accurately shows the crazy spirals that things took that year and how 5 years later you can still feel all the changes.   

If this movie was going to strike a lot of nerves on a variety of topics to stem from that time then it was an incredibly good movie.   But if you are not ready to relive all of the crazy then you should probably steer clear of this movie.  

Honey Don't!

Small-town private investigator Honey O'Donahue probes a series of strange deaths that are tied to a mysterious church.

This movie was so beyond pointless.  Like it's just there with a bunch of actors and actresses that I like.  There is no reason to care about any of it.   Even when things play out you are honestly just kind of like okay . . . .  is this done now?  

It's super short but still a massive waste of time.   Great cast but just really no hook or anything to care about at all.   Could have easily been called Honey Don't! . . . . . bother watching this.

Dangerous Animals

A shark-obsessed serial killer holds Zephyr, a rebellious surfer, captive on his boat. Racing against time, she must figure out a way to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.

How in the holy hell was this a wide theatrical release?   Better question - how in the holy hell was this a wide theatrical release IN THE SUMMER?   This was basically a made for tv movie.   It was a somewhat decent and out there premise that absolutely did not make an entire movie.  This movie was only 90 minutes long and that was honestly still an hour too long.   

I would definitely not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's not even a movie that is so cheesy that it's a good silly watch.   There is basically one shark attack scene and then 85 minutes of blah blah blah.
