Automatically my main issue with this movie is that it needs to be longer. The first act feels like a rush to catch people up on 3 projects at once. Besides that once the main plot kicks into gear it’s a truly tense and paranoid Marvel film that hits the smaller scale better than I expected. Its taking its subject matter seriously, with hints of marvel humor creeping in. You feel the reshoots, and the awkward editing… but it doesn’t…

The Monkey 2025
The Monkey fairs better than most King adaptations by playing into the dry cynical comedy of… well death. “Everybody dies, and sometimes that’s fucked up,” is true for this story’s thesis. It’s gleeful in its gore and cartoonishly revels in the visual comedy. Theo James is a great lead who goes through a range of performances as he plays the main twin brothers. What I didn’t expect was a very strong presence from Colin O’Brien who plays the tag along teenage son.

Heart Eyes 2025
Heart Eyes is more connected to the theme of love and Valentine’s Day than it lets on. It 100% the by the numbers slasher it advertises, however it bares a secondary Screwball Rom Com under the surface. These two movies never clash against each other, but offer a genuinely fun experience. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding play to their strengths, but maybe opens the door for more concepts like this.

The Substance 2024
From jump it's obvious what this movie wants to achieve and how it will execute it for its 2 hour and 30-minute runtime. It's a beautifully gross mixture of Edgar Wrights sensibilities and Cronenberg body horror. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid all have fun with the satire that also somehow feels timeless and a throwback to a forgotten era of horror in our 2020 decade.
