| 73 50% | Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Rated 01 Oct 2024
"Funny and entertaining. Although I dislike the cameos in recent Marvel movies, here it works because they are from older films and the movie seems to be targeting 30+ year-old audiences. Also the multiverse stuff is beyond played out by now but here it is basically a parody. Lots of X-men references, which emphasizes that this movie is probably just as much a goodbye to The Wolverine / Hugh Jackman as it is a Deadpool movie."

| 65 24% | Cuckoo (2024) - Rated 15 Sep 2024
"I'll give it points for a cool monster, who is creepy enough and interesting. The movie also seems to be a little surreal (audio is weird). The ending has some cool elements but is almost equally annoying because of what the main character does. The bizarre joke right at the finale sort of epitomizes the movie being slightly off target."

"Interesting direction (lots of liminal spaces) and I thought Cage was good. But the ending is terrible for many reasons. It really doesn't do enough with the cool setup. Maika Monroe was quite strong though."

| 73 50% | Twisters (2024) - Rated 17 Aug 2024
"Not as good as the 1996 version but still decent. It was nice to see them reverse the status quo with the leads and storm chasers. Also a decent evolution on the previous movie's ideas. Suffers more than the original in terms of realism. Music was bleh and also kinda lame that two of the guys simp for the heroine, but it could have been worse."

"Pretty great storm chasing movie. It has the personality and some of the scene transitions are excellent. Hooks you with a bit of emotion and ends quite well. Underrated."

| 81 85% | A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) - Rated 04 Aug 2024
"Better than one and two because it's more emotionally powerful (and less stupid). The protagonist also has one of the simplest wants in modern storytelling--to get pizza--and it works brilliantly. Has the audience asking, "Is the cat okay?" constantly, which is a good way to keep people invested. Decent pacing and a few competent jump scares, and some cool framing. Only wish Eric had more background lore."

| 72 47% | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 14 Jul 2024
"Good but not Fury Road good. Was nice to see gastown and bullet farm. Some early chases are okay but feel distant without music. Bit too much CGI at times. Never really gets fully going at speed like Fury Road did so well. Anya Taylor-Joy is fine, so is Chris Hemsworth, although the finale involving both is missing something. Was nice to see Josh Helman, but his character, Scrotus, ends up having no resolution to bridge the gap. Still leaves me with one overwhelming thought: bring back Max."

| 80 79% | The Fall Guy (2024) - Rated 26 May 2024
"Really entertaining and has a good mix of comedy and action. The scene in the trailer with the alien suit was hilarious. Decent stunts (as expected) in what is quintessentially a romance movie. The scene with them airing their dirty laundry in front of the whole cast was clever. It breaks a fourth wall and self-references movies, but it works pretty well."

| 75 59% | The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) - Rated 25 May 2024
"Pretty solid action movie that tries to be a bit more jovial as the nazis fall by the hundreds. Pyrotechnics are good. Cast decent. Unfortunately the unrelenting music gets downright annoying towards the end. Also the bow and arrow stuff was just dumb."
|
| 71 44% | Late Night with the Devil (2023) - Rated 27 Apr 2024
"The late-night talk show setting really works and makes it feel authentic. Some good personalities here that really play it up. While things slowly escalate it still feels lacking a bit in terms of horrors and scares at the end."
