Well this is a weird one.
It is kind of straight forward it is just weird or disconcerting when Lithgow doing his thing.
Slow paced but the tension does build up pretty good.
Not gory but still not a bad watch for a lower budge movie.

Nosferatu - 5/10 Meh, Just couldn't get into it.. it's beautifully shot NGL. Just never grabbed me.

Just could not get into it. Watched a bit and was bored so I never finished it. Maybe it gets better but I kind of doubt it.



Kind of meh. It is watchable but just kind of lacking.



Kind of like the cleaner one. Nothing new here but it is ok if you are bored.




This is a hot mess. It had potential. It had an interesting setting, some of the visuals were cool. However it just seemed disjointed. I do not know if they had to cut a lot of the movie out for some reason or not...but that is what it seems like.

Sinners (2025)

8.25 of 10

Ryan Coogler is a very good director/storyteller. Inserting a fantasy nightmare within a real life one seamlessly is not an easy fit but he pulled it off.

I am always weary of movies and television shows with an actor playing dual roles. Some cannot pull off the distinct personalities of different roles. Michael B. Jordan's Smoke and Stack are extremely well done.

Make sure to catch the prologue embedded in the end credits. It is worth the wait.

My only disappointment is that it was not the psychological horror movie I hoped it would be. I would have likely given it a 9 or above if it were in my opinion.

Then again, I have my own personal standards for what a true horror movie should be. It should be more than scary enough for the majority of its audience though. For me, it is a very good suspense/thriller.

Meh. Had potential but kind of a let down. Couple of funny parts with the geeky main character.



Not bad. I thought they missed on some opportunities at the end to make it a little nicer but I guess that would have put too much of a pretty bow on it.

I watched Companion a couple months ago. I agree, it wasn't bad. Almost like a lower budget Ex Machina.

I loved Ex Machina, so I will put Companion on my watch list.

Yeah I liked it awhile. Not blockbuster wow, but it was entertaining for sure.

It was one of those pleasant surprises that was worth admission but won’t watch again,

Thunderbolts* (2025)

^ This was flashed in one of the last commercials for the movie. My opinion? I rank all these movies that followed Avengers: Endgame above Thunderbolts* (along with grades):

Spider-Man: Far From Home (9.40), Spider-Man: No Way Home (9.40), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (8.75), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (8.50), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (8.50), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (8.35), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (8.35), Deadpool & Wolverine (7.75), Black Widow (7.00), Captain America: Brave New World (7.00) and Eternals (6.75)

Thunderbolts* 6.50 of 10.00

Only The Marvels (6.25) and Thor: Love and Thunder (5.25) fell below it for me.

Really waiting to get input from others. On one hand, I enjoyed how Sentry and The Void was introduced and setup. On the other hand, the movie did not make me fear the threat.

I like group's membership but did not think they were exploited very well. Overall chemistry is a bit off for now. David Harbour (Red Guardian) was a touch too loud unnecessarily as usual. Sebastian Stan (Bucky) lacked intensity, ironically similar to what I saw in Captain America: Brave New World. Wyatt Russell (John Walker) is still growing on me from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Florence Pugh (Yelena), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Julia Louis-Dreyfus and even Geraldine Viswanathan (Julia's aid in a small supporting role) were very good--although Ghost was kinda handicapped in some ways with her self-brooding.

Good movie. Could have been a LOT better I think.

Two cut scenes during the ending credits. The first one that plays near the beginning of the credits roll isn't all that. The second one at the very end of the roll is worth waiting on.
