  There's No Business Like Show Business 1954

  ★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  I love musicals but, man, this movie is like 75% singing, 25% story. It feels more like a Broadway musical caught on film. Relationships are established so unbelievably fast in this movie.

  And as a heads up, Marilyn Monroe gets third billing in this movie and doesn't show up until about 30 minutes into the movie, then disappears and returns about 25 minutes later. I say this because she is literally the ONLY actor on the cover of my blu-ray.…

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I’m in the minority here but it just felt like something was missing with this one. The cast and directing were solid, cinematography looked good…lots of halos around anything that gave off light, but I feel it was the pace. It had an odd pace.

Others felt so chill, too chill at times.…

  Love Hurts 2025

  ★★ Watched 22 Feb 2025

  I love Ke Huy Quan so it hurts to say that this movie just fell so flat for me. They tried having interesting characters like in Bullet Train but it lacked any exceptional writing to make you love them. Ke was the best thing in it and had some good fight scenes but it’s not enough to save this movie. The comedy falls flat many times. And the villain’s obsession with Boba drinks was so one note and annoying. And the sweetest character in the film is unnecessarily killed and provided no real emotional weight to the film. Let’s give this Oscar winner better material.
