Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

The Spengler family returns to the iconic New York City firehouse where the original Ghostbusters have taken ghost-busting to the next level. When the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must unite to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age.

This was a weird movie to watch/review.  Like you kind of enjoyed it while watching it but it's pretty forgettable like right after you move the theater.  These movies have done like a weird transition where its really for a completely younger generation and those of us who the movie was iconic for back in the 80s are there for the nostalgia and stuff but like it doesn't hit with us as much as it used to.

I would still recommend people checking this out because it is an enjoyable watch but it's no where near the event movie feeling that it used to be.

The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a true story inspired action movie with Henry Cavill leading a covert group in WWII missions. Guy Ritchie's film highlights the Special Operations Executive's lesser-known events during WWII under Winston Churchill's command.

This was just a fun movie.  A simple and fun action movie with good chemistry and laughs from the cast and enjoyable action.   The story was honestly irrelevant because this was just a nice and simple ride of a movie that you can enjoy.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It's not a must see by any means but its a fun watch.

Monkey Man

A young man ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he's beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, he discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city's sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

This movie is pretty much exactly what you thought it would be from the trailer.  It was an Indian version of John Wick sort of.  Crazy over the top action.  Crazy fight scenes.   The thing that really separated this for me though was the fact that Dev Patel wrote, directed and starred in this.  That really made this whole thing impressive as hell.  So the dude was in this crazy scenes with the quick editing and very intense filming style but he was also doing said filming style?  Very impressive.

I would definitely recommend this movie to action movie fans.  It's a hard R for violence but as long as you are okay with that it is a very enjoyable watch.

The Boys In The Boat

During the height of the Great Depression, members of the rowing team at the University of Washington get thrust into the spotlight as they compete for gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

This movie was the textbook underdog sports movie but was done sooooooooo well.  You are hooked to pretty much every character and on edge for every race.  You are so hooked that you are cheering and clapping during the movie.  Never in a million years thought that one of my favorite underdog movies ever would be about rowing.  LOL!

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very very enjoyable movie and leaves you feeling really really good.

American Fiction

Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

The social commentary of this movie was priceless.  Constantly made you go back and forth between laughing and being like that is so messed up.  The evolution of how it played out was also a great hook and made this movie a great watch.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very enjoyable well written movie.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire

Godzilla and the almighty Kong face a colossal threat hidden deep within the planet, challenging their very existence and the survival of the human race.

This was very much a money grab sequel.  Like once the humans in the story are only there to basically narrate certain parts these movies have jumped the shark.   Like it honestly felt like a Transformers movie.  Very disappointing and very forgettable.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It was mailed in, pretty silly and overall pointless and forgettable.

Immaculate

An American nun embarks on a new journey when she joins a remote convent in the Italian countryside. However, her warm welcome quickly turns into a living nightmare when she discovers her new home harbours a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.

This movie was just another run of the mill religious scary movie that ends up being not really scary at all and just there.  There might have been one scene in the movie that made me jump and would make me think twice about going into a confessional if it ever seemed like that was likely to happen but that was it.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie - regardless of how buzz worthy Sydney Sweeney is.  Her usual marketing is not remotely on display here so pass.

Love Lies Bleeding

Lou is a reclusive gym manager who falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder who's heading to Las Vegas to pursue her dream. Their love soon leads to violence as they get pulled deep into the web of Lou's criminal family.

What in the blue hell was this?   This was like a made for blu ray wannabe Tarantino movie.  And it was ultimately yet another example of Kristen Stewart being in a movie guaranteeing that it is hot garbage.   This movie was only finished because of how many times I kept looking at it like WTF.

I would absolutely not recommend anyone wasting their time with this.  It was hot garbage.
