Thoughts on The Suicide Squad

 The Suicide Squad is an okay super hero movie. It’s better than the previous. The visuals are really good but the script was not as fun as I expected from James Gunn. It’s long and a bit dull at times. Still, if you like DC comics it’s worth a see on HBO Max. Otherwise forget it.

Thoughts on Bill and Ted Face the Music

 Bill and Ted Face the Music is a fun movie. The characters are fine. The story is cute and some gags hit in the perfect way. The robot character was particularly funny. The effects aren’t amazing but it really doesn’t matter. It’s an entertaining movie. Definitely catch it if you enjoy the other films. 

Thoughts on The Wind

 The Wind is a slow-burn psychological thriller. The acting is great as is the concept and set-up. I might have liked it a bit more if the narrative was linear. But that is a minor nitpick. It is very slow and atmospheric. I temd to think the horror elements were all in the protagonist’s head. Check it out if you like subtle, psychological horror.

Thoughts on Space Jam: A New Legacy

 Space Jam: A New Legacy is a movie that wants to be loved. It reeks of desperation. It is choked with product placement and movie references that are baffling in a kids movie. The extras that are supposed to be these licensed characters in the crowd look like they were given costumes from Spirit Halloween. The acting is bad and the movie is a pointless money grab cynically clutching to nostalgia. Don’t waste your time unless you are a huge fan of the original.

Thoughts on Fear Street part one 1994

 Fear Street part one 1994 is the first part of a trilogy based on a series of books. It’s a hackneyed story with characters that suck. Nobody makes a logical decision. It feels too juvenile for adults and too grown up for teens. It’s not really worth seeing unless you loved the books or really want to see how the trilogy pans out.

Thoughts on In The Tall Grass

 In The Tall Grass is an interesting story from the minds of Joe Hill and Stephen King. The acting is good and the plot is interesting. It is certainly a creepy concept, to be lost in tall grass. It has moments of schlock but it is a fun movie that takes the time loop scenario in another direction. It’s worth checking out. 

Thoughts on False Positive

 False Positive is a very well-acted psychological thriller. The movie has a great build up. By the third act the movie has lept the rails. It is a mixed bag of great imagery, acting, and suspense mixed with a bizarre ending. It felt like a lot of themes could be compared to Rosemary’s Baby. But that movie had a satisfying conclusion.
