All of You

Rating: 2 of 5 lost soulmates
Not sure the point of this one. Got great reviews, so maybe I’ve just seen one too many supposed soulmates separated by circumstance. Acting was fine, but a totally expected and predictable plot. Melancholy and sad.

Terrifier 3

Rating: 3 of 5 immortal clowns
Bloody, scary, and all the things you remember from the last two flicks. This one had less humor and more raw gore and violence than the others, which made it less fun for me. But, Art the Clown has earned his place as a legendary film villian.

In the Land of Saints and Sinners

Rating: 4 of 5 Irish Coffees
Kindof an Irish Western, strong character development, one of Liam Neesons better roles. Neeson’s a hitman in Northern Ireland in the 70’s, so the IRA and the conflict are front and center. An above average action film, where the characters have depth, real conversations occur, not just a shoot-em-up.

M3gan 2.0

Rating: 3 of 5 rogue AIs
Not quite the charm of the original, since the basic premise has run its course. But, they did a pretty good job of creating a whole new scenario for a rogue robotic maniac to run amok in.

The Naked Gun

Rating: 4 of 5 good sequels
Exactly what you’d hope for in a remake of the classic comedy. While the nonstop jokes are not quite up to the Zucker Brothers, they’re pretty good. Liam Neeson is exellent as Frank Drubbens son, and Pam Anderson is hillarious as his comedic partner.

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.
