The Exorcist: Believer

When his daughter, Angela, and her friend Katherine, show signs of demonic possession, it unleashes a chain of events that forces single father Victor Fielding to confront the nadir of evil. Terrified and desperate, he seeks out Chris MacNeil, the only person alive who's witnessed anything like it before.

I have truly grown to feel like exorcist movies have become the lamest version of horror movies.   For every ten made you get one that might be above average.  This was not the one even with the attempt at working the nostalgia angle with the original one.  It took way too long to get going and once it did you had pretty much seen everything in the trailer.   It's pretty much forgettable the second the movie is over.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this movie that ultimately is really just kind of there.  

What Happens Later

Snowed-in at a regional airport overnight, ex-lovers Willa and Bill realize they're still attracted to each other -- but also still equally annoyed with each other. As they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is a mere coincidence or something more enchanted.

This movie seemed like a decent premise and at the start it was pretty good but it went on waaaaaaaay too long and ran its course too soon.   The whole back half of this movie was after it had past the point of being watchable.  And the staying in the same setting for that long was pretty rough for a "rom-com" and killed all of the "com."

I wouldn't really recommend anyone checking this out.  It's that unspoken line of thinking that all of us have but it was only good as a premise apparently.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers. Their new friend, April O'Neil, helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.

I had very low expectations for this movie because the animation looked more like sketches and this franchise has honestly been rebooted like 8 or 9 times now I think.  However, I was very pleasantly surprised at how entertaining this movie was.  It was kept nice and simple and the animation actually added a new feel to the familiar story.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was much more enjoyable than I expected.  

Five Nights At Freddy's

The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy's won't be so easy to make it through.

This movie is exactly what I thought it would be.  I never really understood the craze over the games years ago and once I heard the movie was opening up in theaters and streamers at the same time I figured it would be a just there, mailed in, PG-13 "horror" movie.   And that is what it was.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It plays more like a 10 minute sketch of Chuck E Cheese going bad.  

The Creator

As a future war between the human race and artificial intelligence rages on, ex-special forces agent Joshua is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI. The Creator has developed a mysterious weapon that has the power to end the war and all of mankind. As Joshua and his team of elite operatives venture into enemy-occupied territory, they soon discover the world-ending weapon is actually an AI in the form of a young child.

This was a really good sci-fi movie.  I have always said that the best sci-fi is when you are basically taken to their world and leave the theater thinking that you might be coming out into that world and this accomplished that.   The characters were well developed and I enjoyed the story.  It was a little too long and strangely tried to be a little too artsy at times but those are minimal knocks against a very enjoyable sci-fi ride of a movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very enjoyable watch and visually awesome.

Dumb Money

Everyday people flip the script on Wall Street and get rich by turning GameStop into one of the world's hottest companies. In the middle of everything is Keith Gill, a regular guy who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock. When his social media posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets wealthy -- until the billionaires fight back and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

This feels like one of the quickest turnarounds for a real life story into a movie I've ever seen.  It has a great cast and the plotting out of the events that led to everything was done in such a quirky way that it really showed how the every day people "beat the system" and what not.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It's a good watch of a great story with a really awesome cast.  

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny

Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Accompanied by his goddaughter, he soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who works for NASA.

This was a MUCH better send off of Indiana Jones than the last entry was.  That was honestly all I wanted.  This felt MUCH more like the original trilogy even if the pacing was a little too slow.  The unfortunate truth is that the world has moved past these kinds of movies due to advances in film making and what not.   But this was still an enjoyable watch.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It's not a must see and will not be a repeated watch like some from the original trilogy but it definitely gets the crap taste from the last one out of your mouth and is a good cap to the character.
