Wicked: For Good

It's not as good as the first, but Grande and Erivo are still great together. The musical numbers hit, especially For Good and No Good Deed.

Jurassic World: Rebirth

It's not great but I will always watch a Jurassic Park movie, because dinosaurs. The score still hits when it comes in though.

Frankenstein

I really love Guillermo del Toro's work and this is a great adaptation of one of my favorite classic novels. Isaac and Goth are good but Elordi is excellent as the Monster.

Today I learned that Gunnar Henderson, born in 2001, attended a school that was segregated. Not back in the day - when he was there.

Weapons

Goddamn I do not like horror movies. This one had a few too many jump scares for me, but the creepiness built the whole time and the acting was very good.

The Old Guard 2

It's a fun action movie with a somewhat random plot. But Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman in a hand-to-hand fight at the end was good.

Mickey 17

It's a weird movie. Robert Pattinson does some fun things, and there are some interesting ideas but doesn't really explore any of them deeply. The aliens are gross but cute.

A Minecraft Movie

Is it good? Since I'm not 14, no. I mainly watched it so I could talk with my nephews about it. Jack Black and Jason Momoa seem to have fun though!

Thunderbolts*

I finally got around to watching this. Florence Pugh carries the movie, from first frame to last. David Harbour has some fun. Some of the ways they dealt with the themes of trauma and PTSD are a bit heavy-handed, but effective.

Death of a Unicorn

It's interesting and has some fun moments. Ortega and Rudd's chemistry as father and daughter is the emotional core, and Will Coulter has a blast.

Happy Gilmore 2

Is it high-class cinema? No. Is it a lot of fun for fans of the original, full of callbacks and cameos? Yes. And Bad Bunny is scene-stealingly good.

The Phoenician Scheme

I say this about every Wes Anderson film: if you like his stuff, you'll enjoy this. If you don't, you won't. If nothing else, I find his films interesting.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

It was a lot of fun. Galactus is as scary and intimidating as you would want, and the family dynamics between the four are much better than previous versions.

Love Hurts

Is it a good movie? No. Is it well-written or clever? No. Is it fun to watch Marshawn Lynch play an assassin who yells BEAST MODE when he tries to tackle someone? A bit.

Heat

I had never seen it but it was as good as its reputation. DeNiro and Pacino at their best, and you can see how it influenced all the heist movies (and The Dark Knight) afterwards.

Superman (2025)

I think Corenswet is a great Clark Kent/Superman, and Hoult is great as a very petulant, almost tantrum-throwing Lex Luthor.

Snow White

Rachel Zegler (swoon) is the only highlight. The dwarves are some good comic relief, though the prince has zero charm.
