  Novocaine 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  An admirable action-comedy that manages to deliver some thrills, surprises and fun for its very modest budget.

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Pretty entertaining movie all things considered, shouldered as usual by Robert Pattinson’s phenomenal acting ability. I think the thing that really takes it down for me is the narration element used in the movie. From a director that excels at showing rather than telling, it feels like a lot of this story is told instead of shown. But it’s reliably entertaining, well-paced and visually arresting for sure. Production design is what stands out here, I mean you feel fully transported to this alien, futuristic world without skipping a beat. Really solid time.

  Taking a turn into swashbuckling adventure as opposed to high-octane action the franchise was known for under Michael Bay’s tutelage, Transformers: One offers a fairly personal and small-scale journey juxtaposed against familiar themes of truth, reconciliation, and honor that the deeper parts of the franchise’s storytelling have been working with for the last 40 years.

  Orion Pax and D-16 are not Optimus Prime and Megatron yet, and while their turn from brothers to rivals is not as conventional as past…
