  • Pretty Woman

    Pretty Woman

    ★★★

    The pang of realization that came to me when I figured out that Garry Marshal directed this and The Princess Diaries movies, was quite strong.

  • Cocktail

    Cocktail

    ★★

    Truly insane tonal shift from raunchy comedy to painstaking melodrama. 

    This movie doesn’t know what it wants to be. Cruise is a star, of course.

    Days of Thunder

    ★★★

    At one point, Rowdy’s wife says: “Hi, Tom” instead of “Cole” and they kept it in. 

    A batshit Top Gun w/ cars ripoff.

  • A Working Man

    A Working Man

    ★★

    Of all of the recent Statham films I've seen: Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and The Beekeeper, A Working Man is by far the worst.

    All of the previously mentioned films have something in common: they're fun. A Working Man is not fun, not in any capacity. David Ayer and Sylvester Stallone's script is about as bland as it gets. Full of action cliches that used to have a "laugh-with-it", meta mentality, but in this film's case…

    Scream VI

    ★★★★

    Way more of a brutal thrill ride than it’s predecessor. 

    Scream VI offers a hell of a lot more violence than previous chapters, and remains just as meta as it’s always been. 

    Legacy characters are actually used well here, while the new installment cements its feet in a new core-four. 

    I enjoyed the build-up immensely, however the reveal didn't quite stick the landing.

    This might rank second for me after the original, but it’ll be fun to see how this holds up as a rewatch in the near-future.

  • Alien: Romulus

    Alien: Romulus

    ★★★½

    On a technical level, Fede Alvarez captured both Scott’s and Cameron’s gritty realism to a T with practical sets and props that really connect Romulus to its Alien roots. The first half of the film is a glorious spectacle of effects and photography that firmly grasp at the immersion of the world of Alien, even going as far as really reminding me of Blade Runner

    On a story front, Romulus takes some liberties that audiences will either roll with or they won’t. I…
