Minions And Monsters

The creators of Despicable Me expand their universe with this tale of the Minions, who, while attempting to make a 1920s Hollywood movie, accidentally summon real monsters using a stolen spell book. The yellow crew must now stop the resulting chaos and save the world.

I'm not really looking for something fresh or new with the Minions movies.  You either love the or you don't.   I happen to massively love and enjoy them so I figured I would like this movie regardless.  What I wasn't expecting was a very interesting storyline about making movies that made this movie better than the other Minion prequel movies.   That was an incredibly pleasant surprise.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It's easily the best of the Minions prequels and might be only second in the whole Despicable Me universe after the original Despicable Me.   I was shocked and how the making a movie in the 1920s bit provided such an extra spark for the movie.

Supergirl

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

This is a bit of weird movie to review.   I liked the movie overall.  It was definitely entertaining throughout.   I think Millie Alcock is great as Supergirl.   I loved Jason Momoa as Lobo.   The action was good and the pacing was perfect and not dragged out.   But like there was a part of my brain that just kept saying how this movie had pretty much no point except to kind of show you Supergirl working through some stuff.   Like it was a random three day period of her coming to terms with stuff.   

I would still recommend people checking it out.  It was a very fun watch and I liked it but I guess it was just a very weird intro vehicle for this new/main character even though it was entertaining.

Passenger

After a young couple, Tyler and Maddie, leave New York City behind to embrace a nomadic "van life" adventure, their romantic road trip quickly derails. A few weeks into their travels, they witness a gruesome and horrific accident on a desolate highway. They stop to check on the victims and help at the scene, but they soon realize they did not leave the crash alone.

This movie was good for what it was meant to be.  It has some really good jump scares.   There was enough creepy tension building scenes.  And most importantly it didn't run too long.   Still could have been shorter but it stayed in that necessary run time window for it to not drag.

I would definitely recommend this for jump scare movie fans.   It was simple and not oversaturated like a lot of this movies can get.
