Thoughts on Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw

Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw is a schlocky action movie that isn’t that great. The story is paper-thin and the dialogue is lazy. The stunts are cool when they are real. The fighting action, montages, and terrible music moments make it hard to watch. The villian is essentially a cyborg out to get a virus and the protagonists are the baddest dudes around to save the day. It is a movie made for kids who want to see a “grown up action movie.” The action goes on for so long, so often, that it becomes boring. Which is strange since the settings switch so often it is hard to remember what the central plot was. Even with a tacked on message about family, it rang as surface level and devoid of actual substance. See it if you saw the others in the franchise or you want to watch something thet requires little to no thinking.

Thoughts on John Wick 3

John Wick 3 is a solid action movie. The series is getting a little over-the-top and schlocky, but in terms of fun action and fight scenes it does it’s job well. The story is a bit confusing at times and the motivations are often muddled. This is a fine movie to catch on cable and is worth checking out if you enjoyed the previous movies.

Thoughts on Space Cop

Space Cop is a fun movie from the Red Letter Media folks. The acting and the story are schlocky and silly. Still, the cast and tone are irreverent, so it works. The film is funny but i’d really recommend it to fans of Red Letter Media. Other viewers might find it confusing.

Thoughts on Knives Out

Knives Out is a clever whodunit. The script is witty and charming. The bevy of talent in this movie showed up on-screen. At times the movie feels like it’s from a bygone era. The dark humor was an added bonus which was executed very well. It’s a fun movie that is worth checking out.
