Death of a Unicorn

Rating: 4 of 5 Entitled Rich People
Twisted fun. Some token dramatic moments, but really, just a humorous revenge flick from a different point of view.

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.

Companion

Rating: 4 of 5 sexbots
What could easily have been Yet Another Robot story pulls out all kinds of new ideas, and keeps you guessing right until the end. Fun and gory and creepy and uncomfortable. Just as they intended. Really enjoyed this one.

Thelma

Rating: 4 of 5 scooters
A delightful film about a 93 year old who gets scammed, and exacts justice. Funny, warm-hearted, with really good character development, and endearing performances.

Rating: 2 of 5 Mickeys
A clumsy story, and lackluster performances make for a mediocre flick. This one got good ratings from a lot of folks, so there must be something there I just didn’t get. Not my cup of SciFi.

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.

Elevation

Rating: 4 of 5 Big cockroaches
Yet another creatures take over earth flick. But, all in all, it’s one of the good ones. Good acting, actors, effects, plot. Nothing too complicated since it’s basically a sidequest.

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.

You're Cordially Invited

Rating: 4 of 5 wedding disasters
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.
