Argylle (2024)
Turn off your brain and enjoy the ride
Argylle is a movie you can't be afraid to laugh it, even if no one else is. It is absurd, pointless, unbelievable, and a blast to watch. Just realize you're watching Entertainment.
Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell are fantastic on screen together, even through the most "oh, come on!" moments.
Henry Cavill and John Cena, these two need a project together. Their chemistry, for the time they are on the screen is worth watching.
The cat... is a cat, that somehow survives a lot.
The rest of the cast are enjoyable, especially Cranston.
There is beauty in this movie if you appreciate edits and what it took to create the fight scenes. So, applause to the stunt team, director, and editor.
Overall, The movie Argylle ... stupid fun... turn your brain off and enjoy the ride.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Marvel: A return to ... fun
Over the last few years, the Disney/Marvel have lowered the bar. I went into this movie hoping I get back at least 50% of my ticket value in entertainment. I got back 95%.
This is quite simply and enjoyable movie. There are explosions, there are weird things, and your eyes will be overly amazed at rhe visuals.
But, there is heart and fantastic acting. A few chuckles along the way to breakup the clashes.
If you are looking for a nice Marvel movie - surprisingly Quantumania does its job.
I said there are no spoilers - but... for 20 years Marvel has made sure the workers in the credits get viewed, this movie is no different.
So, there is a post credit ending.
The Menu (2022)
A delightful escape
(I'm sorry for any fool references)
This movie is exactly what was called for now. Like some food and tastes, you have to give it time. Don't be afraid to laugh. There is so much dry wit and outright sarcasm, let your laughter out. (I was in a theater with little laughter.)
Hands down Taylor-Joy, Houlton, and Fiennes gave fantastic performances. Not to spoil it, but Hoult's performance was simultaneously annoying and fantastic.
The play between Taylor-Joy and Fiennes is well worth the price. You simply wanted more from these too because it was the best part of the movie.
Hong Chau and Leguizamo are a delight. Though, Leguizamo is a tough swallow. He is still a delight.
It was wonderful to see Judith Light on the screen. She played her part perfectly.
Would I see this again, not in the theater. But I will see it again.
Laugh... don't think about the rest of the theater, this is a wonderful dark comedy.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Finish it off - go cheap or Peacock
Outside of the opening sequence, the rest of the film is dead.
Everything is telegraphed. Most of the acting phoned in.
If it wasn't for the opening I would have given this movie a 1.
Do yourself a favor, watch it for as free as you can. The fact it is on a streaming service means you can watch review, parody, and satirical youtubes. .
Is there a potential story worth saving here? Something that can lead to the next 47 movies? Nope. Almost, but, nope. If there was someone worth routing for or someone you could buy into - then, maybe. But there isn't. So, nope.
Do yourself a favor. Watch the original and #2. Season of the Witch to get the advertisement jingle stuck in your head. (Like it is now... Silver Shramrock). And #4 because of Danielle Harris.
Go cheap or free. Finish this off, and then take a shower to wash this movie out of your mind.
Amsterdam (2022)
Watch up until the last 30 min
Mostly fantastic acting from 3 of the actors.
Christian Bale, dude knows how to act. His accent is sketchy, but he definitely sells the character.
The charm is all between Anya Taylor-Joy and Margot Robbie. The way these two play off each other in one particular scene. The movie should have just been these two, with some Bale tossed in.
Taylor Swift was enjoyable for ger time on screen.
Everyone else either couldn't find their character or didn't care to.
Rami Malek, can you go back to being understood. Like, in Need for Speed.
I generally like these movies because I like to see actors play off other actors. This movie just didn't have it.
Stop watching before the last half hour. Or, stop after the house scene.
They/Them (2022)
No reason to watch this
Even if you are a family member to one of the cast. Just skip this in every way possible. Don't even see it when it gets to "free" TV. Watch the LEXX movies instead.
No Sudden Move (2021)
MI people don't sound MN folk
So, L. P. Michiganders don't sound like WI or MN.
Not sure children raised in the era this film is portraying talked back as much as "Matthew" does. Pretty sure that's more of an 90's, 00's, and 10's thing.
Other than that the movie is extremely slow paced and most of the actors seem as if they did this film to get out of the house.
