Superman (2025)

It promises a lot that it doesn't deliver. It celebrates itself before we get a chance to absorb any of it. Beating Superman like a desperate housewife does not bring humanity to his persona and establishing himself as a victim of puny super abuse is not consistent with his mythology. Gunn did not utilize kryptonite because it limited action but embraced creating sun out of everything. It's a willing cast except for the Clarks. They were very hillbilly stupid. The big bad was existential with a personal vendetta and no superpowers to start a fight. The last half goes silly, corny and festive. Fillion's silver bowl hair distracted from his personality. It was also ugly. Mr. Terrific made most of his time by being cool whenever possible, Hawkgirl was miscast as a girl. She's a woman. A Gorilla Grodd would have introduced freshness to the tired and true. A drunk Supergirl was irresponsible and out of place. Does Clark also fuck Lois in the air? The film is just an introduction. 21-Sep-2025
Lilo & Stitch (2025)

I thought that the human Pleakley was Jonathan Groff. After comparing butts I was less assured. Magnusson was great. My coordinates kept getting fucked up. The film succeeds with humanity, culture and respect. Animation and live art expand its universe. Is it Nani or Noni? My game says Noni whilst the new say Nani which sounds like nanny no matter how you slice it. 13-Sep-2025
Wicked (2024)

I tried reading the book of "Wicked" and found I couldn't latch on to an emotional core because it was too busy describing things. I remember a description of a clock that I couldn't imagine, irking me the most. I did not finish the book but I finished the movie. The movie played like an antsy child that won't sit. I wanted to admire all the technical work but it was too busy setting up the next song to have much impact. More dwarves, less songs equal better character development. I couldn't understand Elphaba's evil turn. I didn't know she was a PETA. Wouldn't Glinda be the sensitive one and a people pleaser? Why is she called good when she's so self absorbed? Erivo owns the part but is not given the opportunity to act. Her voice is great but I wanted more character depth. Grande impressed and scared the beejesus out of me when she delivered a Kristin Chenowith performance. Her mimicry was outstanding. It's cheerful, harmless and colorful but it's not Oz or Kansas. 06-Aug-2025
K-Pop Demon Hunters (2025) 

I understand that art speeds up because the present brain is scanning faster than usual but art should teach them to containl it. Relax. The buffoonery was too much. It was immature and condescending to adults. Girl interaction was a high point. Music didn't suck with some being better than others. I think there were too many. How about establishing more of the girls' purpose and desires a bit more? Art is dreamy, both sexes are cool, the story is questionable and the mythology makes no sense. 21-Jul-2025
Sonic theĀ Hedgehog 3 (2024)

Amy Rose and her Piko Piko Hammer were sorely missing. Unless she died somewhere I missed. Nothing tames a beast better than an "optimistic, bubbly and eager" pink thing with tits. The best nemesis for a Shadow hedgehog. Robotnick was too much and the silliness didn't stop at an itch but until you ripped your skin off. The adults were useless against AI because they had no pulse. 01-Jul-2025
Little Princess, The (1939)

This is the third film I've completed starring Shirley Temple. I tuned into the others but one was because of Elizabeth Taylor. I recognized her history because bits and pieces of her legend were always there. I found her talented and cutesy. She's not an actual princess (TG) but a daughter of a distinguished man that is widowed and in charge of spoiling her. He satisfied all her whims, had adorable phrases between them, missed each other dearly when apart and daddy was loaded. FF. Daddy goes to war in South Africa and she is sent to a high falutin school that can use the clout and his money. She lives a life of luxury amongst resentful girls and a few good friends. She is informed that daddy died in war and the enemy stole his assets. The girl is broke and the school footed her luxurious lifestyle expecting recompense. The marm nixes the idea of throwing her out because bad publicity would fuck them. The people decide that the child can redeem herself by becoming a servant. Temple's talent grows as the movie rolled along. Her friends and hope toughened her up so she wouldn't give up or disappoint the audience. She took over like a pro. The film is not dark. The film is cheerful, sweet, undemanding and it presents to kids the pitfalls of growing up, without overloading them. The Joker played a respectable Indian and was a hoot. The School Mistress looked exactly how one would fear. It's corny but it was true. A restoration would befit it. It would sparkle and be presented on Father's or Soldiers Day. 25-Jun-2025
Twisters (2024)

It's popcorn fun without the stomach ache or the funny taste but its easily forgotten. There isn't much to a twister film if the effects aren't ready to tackle what could happen inside one. Its parent film created the illusion that a twister was powerful because it could raise a cow. I wanted to see what a human might go through when sucked into a twister. Just because there are no witnesses doesn't mean we can't decipher one. The cast is amiable, the story keeps pumping but the science let me down. 12-Apr-2025
Maria (2024)

Angelina Jolie is radiant as the legendary Callas whose last days were riddled with identity issues, loss of art and purpose. Some of the historical tidbits were interesting to discover and the film was as luscious as its protagonist. As soon as Jolie opens her mouth to sing the film establishes the work and the craft it must have taken to complete her transformation. The relationships registered, the melancholy smoked and Angelina Jolie was its greatest effect. 06-Feb-2025
Arcadian (2024)

It's the end of the world and Nic Cage remains to fight it. He's kept his twin sons safe for 15 years. They farm, scavenge and kill during the day but hatch down everything before dark. The mystery deepens even with revamped scares. Cage downplays heroism because after 15 years of vigilance his character is tired. His strength is in his conviction and hope. The boys were well cast. They both lit bulbs. The twins' asides were a welcome. The farm is where they found their warmth and exhaustion. A better way to separate the dark action sequences (not black enough or bright enough) would elicit more excitement because a lot of good work remained unseen. I want to know what that needle thing was, more about the occurrence, life before the end of the world, end of the world, those things and the future. 28-Jan-2025
Red One (2024)

It was a jolly merry Christmas movie. Daddy Johnson downplayed it and wrung emotion and hilarity out of it. Chris Evans rejected heroic valor and was cute again. JK Simmons can eat my cookies, anytime. Lucy Liu had a purpose. Krampus was impressive. Kiernan was having fun. Every hole in the story gets punched up by mini-Dwayne kickassing, his jacket, his teeth, reindeer muscle, snowmen beaching, toys, gadgets, lights, magic, witches, twinks, candies, memories, regrets and fun. Sounds like Christmas to me. 20-Dec-2024
Merry Men, The (2024)

There's more than stupidity going on here. The cast is amiable and hardworking. Britt is a misdiagnosed charmer. Prattes legs were mesmerizing, it's fun to see old witches again, Maxwell Caulfield's moment was a go daddy thing, Chad Michael Murray had the body, the robotics, enthusiasm and Farrah's hair. They derailed the "hate at first love" train and depicted how people really get together. I didn't stay for the pancakes but I waited for the bacon. Merry whatever the fucks! 25-Nov-2024
What Happened To Monday (2017)

Glenn Close deserves to play a bona-fide witch. She'd be unforgettable. Willem Dafoe was cerebral and dominant. Marwan Kenzari is unbuckling. At first I thought it was the slicked back hair until I saw his beard. His beard had shadows. I could smell his smoke. What a beautiful beast. It was hardening. Noomi Rapace added texture to all her personalities and made them unique. Some of her guises were marvelous. The future is overloaded with children and the law has issued that families can only have one. A mother dies giving birth to septuplets and dad inherits the burden of keeping 7 sisters safe. He keeps them alive and they thrive until one goes missing. Action sequences were impactful, set-ups were energetic, the actors delivered and the director kept it interesting. 19-Nov-2024
Deadpool and Wolverine (2024)

If I were a dog, I'd lick them all. 18-Nov-2024
Bad Moon, The (1996)

As soon as I realized the original material centered around a pet beast, my mind started to baton twirl. Thor was the title and the name of the dog. But, the movie is about a werewolf, a mother and son, or is it? Mariel Hemingway was peak star watt that carried the weight of the movie's heart. The son is there to make the dog look good. Michael Pare was a one-time specimen that carried out his mission like a rebellious animal. Romance violently exits in the first 10 minutes, a brother/sister/uncle dynamic takes its place, Thor was the best actor and the transformation didn't suck. Man vs beast has been re-re-written so they tried something else. How does a dog protect his family when uncle is the king of canines and the myth rules don't apply? 05-Nov-2024
Inside Out 2 (2024)

I let go of logistics and enjoyed it. 01-Oct-2024
