Dune: Part 2

A lousy sequel
that offers
nothing new
or of value.
The Syfy channel
mini-series is
significantly
better than
this crap.

 


Love Lies Bleeding

Compliments to Kristen Stewart
for yet again attempting to push the envelop.

 


Godzilla X Kong:
The New Empire

When produced,
scripted, and
directed well, with
a strong supporting
cast, all films in the Godzilla and/or
Kong film franchises,
like this one, are exciting!
'Nuff said.

 


Civil War

As always,
another very predictable
dystopian science fiction film,
which projects
"chaos" instead of a
well-orchestrated
plan by existing "elites"
to retain or "new elites" to obtain power.




Kingdom of the
Planet of the Apes


Another lousy,
extremely poorly scripted sequel
that offers
nothing new
over the "original" Planet of the Apes
5 film franchise launched back
in 1968.


Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Another sequel
that could have
easily been
conveyed in a
two-(2) minute
flash-back
sequence.

 


Bad Boys: Ride of Die

Another worthless sequel attempting to
re-start the careers
of two actors
with personal lives
that outshine
their on-screen
personas.


The Bikeriders

An excellent ensemble cast and Austin Butler's
on-screen chemistry
make this film
a worthy
effort.


Horizon: An American Saga

So far, this Part 1
of 3 does not have the cinematic "weight"
of Costner's "Open
Range
" or "Dances with Wolves," but let's not count
Costner out.




The Fall Guy

Skillful actors, like Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt can make a mediocre and very predictable script compelling.


Deadpool & Wolverine

Inventive.
Exciting.
Stupid.
Predictable.
Watchable.


Alien: Romulus

Instead of
another yada, yada yada sequel
why not "Alien vs. Batman," or
"Alien vs. Rambo,"
Alien vs. Godzilla,"
or something . . .

TBD


Joker: Folie à Deux
