Black Mass was a decent movie however with this cast lineup and an interesting figure in the history of mobsters, I didn’t find it terribly compelling and as good of a performance Depp gives, his look was distracting.
Anchorman isn’t a favorite of mine but all these years later is still quotable and a lot of fun to watch with Will Ferrell in all his over-the-top glory.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga isn’t a complete misfire as there are some good moments but as great of a character that Furiosa was in Mad Max: Fury Road, I would’ve preferred a sequel rather than this prequel and maybe coming out sooner.
Twister might not be feature an award-winning screenplay but it is a fun summer popcorn fest that even nearly 30 years later still holds up in both entertainment but also visual effects and a great cast.
Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic western for good reason and features great performances from all involved, but especially Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson.
Bound is still my favorite of The Wachowskis movies, even above The Matrix, which itself has also aged quite well. This one has two amazing performances from Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano for his part was wonderfully chaotic.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is I suppose one of the better offerings in the MonsterVerse but that may be faint praise given, outside of Kong: Skull Island, these movies tend to be forgettable and this one pays less focus on the humans at least.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan finally gets the character due treatment, though I was entertained by the feature films, giving him time to develop over the five season run, and John Krasinski showcasing his action and dramatic chops.
12 Strong is an action-war movie starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon and Michael Pena released in 2018. The 4K Ultra HD release from Warner comes with two featurettes.
The Ocean’s Trilogy finally makes its debut on 4K Ultra HD and both the video and audio transfers are solid upgrades over the old 2007 Blu-ray release and although a new retrospective featurette would’ve been nice.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom isn’t a terribly special sequel and the plot is rather weak, yet I still had a fun and entertaining thanks in large part to the dynamic between Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson.
Carrie had the potential to be good with two fine leads in Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore but instead it proves to be yet another remake that wasn’t needed.
The 355 is a movie that feels awfully familiar from beginning to end and although I can respect some of the action scenes and stunt work, there’s really not very much here that was entertaining with a thin plot and characters.
Contagion has some things going for it, but mainly from an acting and technical level rather than the story. The cast is mostly good despite having a limited amount of screen time and Soderbergh’s visual style, while nothing new from what he’s done in the past, still looks stunning.
Darkman is a cheesy but really fun throwback to the B-movie horror days of Hollywood. Liam Neeson is wonderful and turns in a great performance considering the amount of make-up he had to work under.
