Space Jam wasn’t a movie I cared all that much for upon my initial watch many years ago and revisiting today… it’s okay but nothing I’d revisit yet again.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a delightful and light-hearted family-musical-comedy featuring a wonderful performance from Gene Wilder.
Dead & Buried is a fun little horror-mystery with a plot that would’ve fit in with an episode of Tales from the Crypt. The gore effects from Stan Winston were well done for its time and Jack Albertson was the standout amongst the cast.
Another 48 HRS is another average if not also forgettable sequel to a movie that I personally never was in love with, although I found it mostly entertaining. The dynamic between Murphy and Nolte wasn’t very strong and the manufactured conflict was pretty annoying.
48 Hrs is a great buddy-action flick but not because of the story but, like others in the genre, the dynamic between the two leads. Both Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy do a great job bouncing off one another.

Last Train from Gun Hill isn’t a great western but well worth watching for Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn and there are a couple solid scenes, though can’t say it’s all that memorable.
