Ballerina

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

While I would have loved to have seen more of our villain, some pacing takes its time and some characters are a little sidelined, surprisingly, Ballerina is a worthy spinoff that I enjoyed a lot more than I was anticipating.

Definitely can tell the difference between directors with Len Wiseman (and his style and he brings it, even though I’d be fascinated by his cut) and Chad Stahelski in of filmmaking and action but it’s not extremely noticeable, a…

Heroes Manufactured

2017

★★ Liked Watched

Wanted to like this one more than I did and it’s just an okay documentary.  Nothing great but nothing special.

Dune: Part Two

Well it's in the can.

Dune Part 2, after much anticipation since the 2021 film and having been pushed back from its original November release to this weekend finally sees the light of day and once again, we not only have one of the best movies of the 2020s, but also one of the best sci-fi films, best sequels, best fantasy films and will probably fight to stay on my best of 2024 (despite it not being my favorite of…

Pinocchio

2022

★★★½ Liked 7

So, #Pinocchio , gonna be honest: I think most of y'all are overdoing it with how bad this is. It's not the worst movie of the year. Sure it has a few issues here, but this is one of the better live action remakes they've done. Hanks commits in the role, the animation is great, the rest of the cast is pretty solid especially the main star himself, Benjamin Evan Aimsworth as Pinocchio. Effects are well done mostly. Again, a few issues aside with some CG and a little long, but the songs, nostalgia and Zemeckis' heart is in the right place.
