An excellent film. First class actors, a complex (but not in a bad way) story, complex dialog and photography with wonderful scenes of Ireland.

Ugh. Where to start? It was terrible. The story, the acting, the effects, I can find nothing I liked about this movie. And David Corenswet portrays the worst on-screen Superman I’ve ever seen.

It was better than the new Superman. Not totally terrible, we really like Milly Alcock as an actress, and she does her best with a mess of a script. For some reason, they threw in Jason Momoa, and if all his scenes were cut, it wouldn’t hurt the movie one bit. Oh, and cut David Corenswet as well, because he portrays a terrible Superman.

What if Airplane! had writers with no sense of humor? Wonder no longer. Guess this might be fun for big fans of Rue Paul’s Drag Race, if you knew the characters. Some cameos, none particularly funny. Really, this one is just a pass.

A pretty decent movie. Well written and acted, well done cinematography (aside from a lot of lens flares, especially early on), decent pacing and story. Not Spielberg’s best, but a solid effort.

It’s got some scary bits. Mostly gross though. Plot’s kinda by the numbers. Lead actress does an amazing job carrying pretty much the entire film though. Not a bad flick, just nothing compelling.

Something you don’t see often, an idea that hasn’t really been done before in a horror flick. Yeah, bits and pieces are inspired by other efforts, but it’s pretty unique. Oh, and it’s creepy and scary too.

Surprisingly fun film. Somewhat boilerplate overarching story, with fun twists in the details. A cast with people you know, many gallons of red colored corn syrup, and a building that’s an integral part of the story. Not really scary, more campy horror like the first and third Evil Dead films. Didn’t totally bork it in the final act like many horror-esque films do. And, more attention to detail than you’d expect.

Unexpectedly funny. Comic-level violence all the way through. There’s a basic plot to hang the action from. The young woman who plays the lead carries the entire film. Supporting cast does their job well.

Loved it. Yeah, Ryan Reynolds plays, um, Ryan Reynolds. Again. But he does play himself well. Branagh is good, although his accent is a bit on and off. It’s basically a buddy comedy, and does that well. They both play off each other, lots of action, lots of funny bits. I’m not sure how they did the airplane footage, probably all AI generated, but it looked really good. Nothing we’d watch twice, pretty predictable, but was a lot of fun.
