  Ad Astra 2019

  ★★ Added

  One of the few times I think Mark Kermode is 100% correct.

  "While First Man was an object lesson in “show, don’t tell” film-making, Ad Astra seems determined to show and tell at every opportunity, right up to the hokey coda, which rivals the knot-tying antics of Insterstellar’s all-too-neat final act."

  This isn't a bad movie, just a hodgepodge of two or three good ones. Every technical and performance-based aspect was nearly perfect, but unfortunately, the script and direction left me baffled.

  Ford v Ferrari 2019

  ★★★ Added

  Buncha dudes bein' guys.

  A thrilling final 30 minutes does not fully make up for an otherwise sleepwalking first 2 hours. Bale and Damon were good. The story was enjoyable. The final race was intense. And yet, I couldn't help but feel like this movie is missing an x-factor. Something memorable to put it over the top. Going into it, I assumed it would be Bale and/or Damon.

  Unfortunately, no such factor exists, and we are left with a perfectly "fine" movie that will have high syndication on TNT and STARZ.

  Also Josh Lucas' performance was cringe-worthy.
