Gladiator2
Rating: 2 of 5 Colosseum Sharks
Best thing, makes the first Gladiator seem like a classic! Kinda boring, kinda gory, uses some characters from history, sortof. The historical stories were more interesting. All one needs to do is read the plot summary on Wikipedia to realize how confusing the whole mess is. Wasn’t impressed with Paul Mescal’s performance. Couldn’t tell if he was angry, hopeless, or moody. Definately never happy though.

The Last Showgirl
Rating: 4 of 5 sparkles
A well crafted, if melancholy story about aging, changes, and everyday life in Vegas. Excellent performances from Pam Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dave Bautista.

Kraven
Rating: 1 of 5 CGI Animals
Boring and confusing with generally silly action scenes. Maybe it wasn’t confusing, but it was just so boring that I kept not paying much attention? Russell Crowe is in it, but with such a terrible Russian accent, he needs subtitles. Or not, he doesn’t say anything interesting. Very earnestly delivered dialogue, and then you think, “um, why was that pointless drivel spoken so earnestly?” It felt like a bad comic, so I checked.

The Gorge
Rating: 4 of 5 Evil ents
Mysterious assignments of mysterious assasins to an secret area which has, wait for it, a big gorge. Naturally fog-filled with scary noises, mines, fences, and guard towers. Turned out pretty scary and fun, after a really boring and predictable setup. I even liked the ending.

A fun distraction. Witherspoon and Ferrell have a lot of fun together, and the cast were all decent background. Plot has weddings in it, and hillarity ensues. That’s about it.
