The Substance 2024
Coralie Fargeat's follow up to Revenge (2017) is an absolutely wild watch. Revenge was already an ultra violent, adrenaline pumping, insane watch but The Substance somehow completely surpasses it in almost every way. The violence? Let's just say there's a scene that potentially surpassed Evil Dead (2013) in terms of gallons of blood used in a single scene. Adrenaline pumping? Fargeat and her editing team (along with a overwhelming score courtesy of Raffertie) ramp the pace and energy of this…

Captain America: Brave New World 2025
This was a pretty messy movie which I guess shouldn't be all that surprising considering all the reshoots this movie went through, I imagine the original plot was much different from what we got. Would it have been better? Who knows. This one is serviceable, with anything world building but as far as the character of Sam Wilson, it just felt like I was seeing rehashes of what we saw in the Falcon/Winter Soldier show. Not much new is explored…

They don't all land but some of them certainly…

Finally. Someone was able to pull it off. When I heard Fede Alvarez was going to be directing, I instantly felt like he was going to be the one who NAILED making a great entry for the Alien franchise after so many marginally good to plain bad ones. Fede understood the assignment. He knew what elements from both Alien and Aliens worked and he put together a really good story with some really good characters that looked and sounded amazing.…

Barbie 2023
Barbie was one of those IPs you heard getting thrown around in Hollywood that you'd roll your eyes at hearing. Who really would want that? But as soon as I heard that Greta Gerwig was co-writing and directing it, I was suddenly invested; and when Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were cast as Barbie and Ken, I was 100% on board. Normally getting psyched out a project that early is going to be met with some disappointment where the end…
