Ant Man and the Wasp:Quantumainia 2024/ 6.4/ 125 min Figured I’d start out with
a good old Marvel movie to get things going. I liked the other ant man movies
ok, and that’s what I thought of this one. It was OK. It did seem like 3hrs
instead of two but maybe all the time manipulation in the movie affected me
too. I have to agree with masses on this one (which I rarely do) and give it a
6.4
Migration 2024/ 83 min/ 7.4 I
went into this knowing animated movies always have too high of a rating, even
though I generally do like them. During the movie I try to figure out what the
target age is that the movie was made for. I’m guessing about 7 years old on
this one. And I’m not sure if I approve of the overall message of the movie
being “don’t be safe” for little kids. Feels like, it’s OK to get in a van with
a stranger, kids, it’ll be an adventure! It’s OK to play with the clown in the
storm drain kids, it’ll be an adventure.
I only give this 5.5 cause it’s at least short.
Borderlands
2024/ 5.8/ 101 min: I gotta throw a disclaimer in here. I have
spent many, many, way too many hours playing Borderlands, so I knew all the
characters before the movie started. Turns out, I didn’t need to as this movie
is fine without prior knowledge. I liked this movie and don’t understand why it
bombed so bad, but it won’t be the last movie me and the mainstream disagree
on. I give this movie a 7.3
Gran Turismo 2023/ 7.8/ 135 min Another day, another video game that I’ve
played turned into a movie. A true story of gamers getting a chance to race in
real cars. This one was a pleasant surprise and didn’t just seem like an
advertisement for the game, although you will see a million Playstation logos. Gran Prix is not my kind of racing, but the
race scenes are well done. I can agree with this rating of 7.8.
Civil War 2024 / 6.9 / 109 min: Picture any zombie cross country road trip movie but
without the zombies. America is in a civil war and the movie is about 4 press
people that you never care about, covering a civil war they never explain. Most
of the movie, I just wanted all of them to die so it would end. Don’t know
where that 6.9 rating came from because I gave it a solid 5.0 and felt generous
doing it.
The Fall Guy
2024/ 7.1/ 127 I went into this
skeptical. A movie based on a TV show I wouldn’t watch when it was on. Plus,
Ryan Gossling left a horribly bad taste in my mouth when I forced myself to
watch La La Land years ago to see what the hype was about. This movie had
wayyyy too much love story to it, but some great stunts allowed me to power
thru. I give it a 6.6
Five Nights at Freddies 2023/ 7.5/ 110
min Not since Freddy Got Fingered have
I seen a worse movie with Freddy in the title. I have always asserted that
Freddie Got Fingered was the worst movie of all time. But I got sucked in with
this movie’s 7.6 rating and paid the price. Chucky Cheese gone wild. Not enough
gore to be a horror movie, but a plotline so dumb it must be classified as a horror
flick. I give it a 5.0 and want my two hours back.
Werewolves
2024/ 6.2/ 94 min This is 2025
isn’t it? And you are going to tell me we still can’t make a werewolf that
doesn’t look like it’s wearing a rubber mask. All this new technology and I
cant get a real looking werewolf? The strobe lights in the first part of the
movie almost gave me a seizure and I’m not epileptic. This movie steals its
plot from the Purge movies, all you have to do is survive till morning one night a year. I
wasn’t sure I’d survive the hour and a half. But I made it, and give this one
4.8
A Complete Unknown 2024/
7.8/ 140 min Yeah, I watched it
in sheistervision without subtitles. Which means I understood the dialogue
about as well as I understand the lyrics to any Bob Dylan song. I’m not sure someone
who wasn’t raised in the 60’s will be as enthusiastic about this movie as I was.
As a songwriter, the man was amazing. As
a singer, not so much. It’s pretty long, has lots of drama, but the frequent music
allowed me to power thru. I did learn that everyone in the 60’s was required to
smoke. Not sure I go as high as the mainstream,
but I do give it a 7.0
Monster Summer
2024/ 6.2/ 98 min I wanted to see just how far Mel Gibson
had fallen. Starring in a movie based on a recycled Scooby Doo plot, I guess
that’s pretty far. And old lady Caruthers would have got away with it if it
wasn’t for those damn meddling kids! The whole movie is just one big witch hunt.
I’m guessing target audience is the 12 to 14. I give this a 5.4
