“Nobody 2” feels half baked and undercooked, and while there’s some fun to be had sometimes it’s all but forgotten by the time you get home.

I’m not ready to call “Weapons” a masterpiece, but I am ready to call it an evergreen brain worm that – if you’re willing to let it – stays with you indefinitely and will be a film we talk about for a long, long time.
Sure, it’s not quite as good as the original, but it doesn’t have to be so long as it honors its legacy and does right by the classics. “The Naked Gun” does both of these things, and if you’re looking for a good riotous time at the movies, you really can’t go wrong with this one.
“Oh Hi!” is a sort of millennial “Misery” told through a series of unfortunate situationships. There’s an earnestness from Brooks’ direction and screenplay that allows even the most outlandish events to remain hopelessly charming and romantic.
It’s a big swing and even bolder execution from a filmmaker who dives head first into both with complete abandon, and that approach is always going to draw lines in the sand. Though I feel good about what I think “Eddington” is trying to say, I’m still not entirely sure what to do with a film like this.
“I Know What You Did Last Summer” feels more unnecessary than even the most unnecessary sequels out there. It has forgettable, second screen watchability and is hardly fit for the big screen.
You have to respect workhorse filmmakers who bang out 3 films a year and rarely miss. It’s a class of…
It is a raw nerve constantly exposed that feels both timely and important but slightly undercooked and incomplete. I guess it’s a testament to how powerful it actually is; “Life After” is a film I struggle to fully embrace and agree with but would also recommend it as a must see.
“Superman” is overly ambitious, overstuffed, and quite messy most of the time. But it’s also consistently entertaining, delivering the kind of hopeful hero we’ve long been waiting to see on the big screen. It’s bursting with hope and humanity, and I can’t think of anything we need more of in the world right now than that.
Everything and everyone in “M3GAN 2.0” is just shooting in the dark, and what should be an upgrade ends up being malware, a virus that corrupts your eyeballs and forces a hard reset of your mind.
