The Ten Commandments movie (1956) is a masterpiece.

I hadn't seen the movie since I was a tyke.

I watched it again and I was mesmerized.

Vintage movies and musicals are much better than any of the modern cinematic brain rot.

Iron Lung (2026) is a movie about Markiplier pressing buttons and yelling while in a submarine for 2 hours.

The film has horrid pacing and virtually zero storytelling. The viewer has no concept of the world, the stakes, the motives of any of the characters, or any sense of payoff after the movie concludes. It’s just plain exhausting to watch.

Markiplier isn’t the best actor in the world but even Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t make this movie shine.

Completely unrealistic protrayal of military operations. What the hell is Bill Paxton's Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle chambered with? It's punching pizza sized holes through people and causing RPG-like explosions. Pretty sure it's not semi-automatic either. A Navy Seal that is surprrised that a Stinger launcher is a single shot only? C'mon. Also, pretty sure they used the Stinger wrong. Dude slices another dude's throat underwater, zero blood.

Chaotic, dull and generic action sequences strung together with uninteresting slices of Navy Seal off duty life. Cardboard cutout characters with actors just going through the motions. The only memorable character is Charlie Sheen's character and that's because he was an annoying jackass. "Only 10% make it," says Biehn's character. How in the hell did Sheen's character make it?

Someone decided that they could take the Top Gun formula and apply it to the Navy Seals. Unfortunately director Lewis Teague is not Tony Scott. This movie has none of the visual flair of Top Gun, it is uninspired, flat and looks like it was made-for-TV. Instead of a beach volleyball scene, we get.. golf. Fighter jets are definitely more exciting than rubber inflatable rafts.

Michael Biehn did what he could have with what he got. Bill Paxton was awesome as always. One star for Biehn, one star for Paxton.

Rated 2 out of 10.

Watched on a used Blu-ray that I bought for $2, it wasn't worth the cost.

This was a darkly horrific film about choices, cowardice and consent. Welcomed and surprising. there was some madly dark humor in the movie too.

This movie had me yelling at the screen directed towards the absolute loser Bear (Michael Johnston) and heartbroken for poor Nikki (Inde Navarrette).

The look of the film was very unique from the choice to use a 4:3 aspect ratio, to the obsesively warm lighting and to the way that they lit Nikki (or how they didn't light her).

The score by Rock Burwell is fantastic. Curry Baker's writing and direction is on point. And Inde Navarrette is a true movie star in this movie -- her intensity was insane. I enjoyed this movie and will probably watch it again to catch little things that I missed in this first viewing.

My one niggle about the movie is that there are many points that were predictable. But this is a minor nitpick.

The Spy Who Dumped Me is a movie that is confused what it wants to be. It's hard to laugh in the comedy scenes when they are followed by gruesome scenes like the one where a thumb is being severed with a pocket knife.

Kate McKinnon was, like a character says to her character, a bit much. She's okay in small doses, but a whole movie of her is painfully annoying.

The action in the film is pretty good at times and rather bland at other times.

Brothers Under Fire is a rather generic and boring action film about a group of military men who fly to Mexico to attend one of their own's wedding. Unfortunate circumstances throw the group of men into conflict with a local cartel and things get crazy after that.

The movie spent almost an hour trying to make us care about a bunch of cardboard cutout characters. By the time the action kicked in, I was checked out as the script has some pretty clunky dialogue and no interesting characters.

Kiefer Sutherland is here for a paycheck. Omar Chaparro is good and intimidating as the cartel boss. James Keach is onscreen for a few minutes and he commanded the scenes he was in.

The action finale was mediocre with a seemingly endless stream of thugs emerging from three clown trucks.

By the time the credits rolled, I was left with feeling meh about the hour and 40 minutes I spent watching it.

Rated 3 out of 10.

We all really enjoyed the film. I liked that Jon Bernthal was in the film along with Florence Pugh. Pugh's "I'm not interested, but am interested" vibe was so perfect. Tom Holland was awesome, like usual. And Destin Daniel Cretton taking the reigns of the Spider-Man movies did a great job. The story was entertaining and emotional. I look forward to where they are going to take these characters -- especially the one that is revealed in the movie that made me gasp.

David Ellison Should Never Own a Combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, because of course he shouldn't.

No one person, family or company should own so much news, media and entertainment.

But that didn't stop David Ellison from trying to convince us he should (and oddly making it clear he should not).

The Odyssey is a journey and quite an accomplishment as a film...visually. I went to a 70mm screening of The Odyssey, I haven't seen a movie in 70mm for a few decades -- it was quite an experience. I am glad that I saw it on the big screen in an analog format. I am happy to still have films that are made specifically to be seen on the big screen.

My full review is here.

Rated 8 out of 10.
