    Bad Boys: Ride or Die

    ★★★

    One of those, "if they keep making 'em, I'll keep watching 'em" franchises. As usual, this rests on Martin and Will's humor and chemistry, regardless of the unbelievable and convoluted plot. Why they miss the opportunity to call this fourth one Bad Boys 4 Life, I'll never understand.

  • Mr. & Mrs. Smith

    Mr. & Mrs. Smith

    ★★★½

    Put two of the coolest, most beautiful people on the planet in a rom-com-esque action movie, surround them with plenty of talent, and you can't go wrong. Brangelina shine while the jokes and bullets fly equally fast all around them in this so mid-2000s flick.

    ★★★★

    A quiet, nuanced film about love, life, and providence that echoes Before Sunrise just a smidge. This is so well written and acted. Poor Arthur the author... but I mean, he did write a book called "Boner".

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★

    A star-studded, beautifully made film that is a stunning technical marvel, Dune the 2nd is high-end filmmaking. That said, it did lack joy and fun, which helps to make heavy sci-fi relatable. Also, what's with all the swords and knives? Who brings those to a laser rifle/force field fight for Pete's sake?
