    “Greta” Review

    Greta: Directed by Neil Jordan. With Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, Maika Monroe, Jane Perry. A young woman befriends a lonely widow who’s harboring a dark and deadly agenda toward her.

    This is maybe one of Moretz’s best roles and that’s coming from a guy that’s tried to watch everything she’s been in. There’s some real plot movement that happens from the first moments of the film that never stop building on the tension and anxiety of knowing that something bad is going to happen, then when it does happen, wondering when or how the other shoe is going to drop. In fact, things get started so early in the film I nearly though it was going to be an entirely different type of film, and while it doesn’t become the supernatural spook fest it had the possibility to be, it cruises right up to the very limits of a believable story, never tripping over that thin line.

    If you’re a fan of Alfred Hitchcock style suspense stories and you haven’t seen this yet, I bet you’d enjoy this delightfully horrific ride.

  • “Star Trek: Prodigy” Season 1b Review

    Star Trek: Prodigy: Created by Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman. With Rylee Alazraqui, Dee Bradley Baker, Brett Gray, Angus Imrie. A group of enslaved teenagers steal a derelict Starfleet vessel to escape and explore the galaxy.

    The second half the first season was released a while ago on BR but I’m just now getting around to watching it on disc instead of streaming and there’s not much difference between the two. This second half is a better watch than the first half with some amazing spaceship content that blew me away the first time I watched it and it held up through a second viewing and I enjoyed how far they pushed the story and moved the Trek meta forward.

    “They Cloned Tyrone” Review

    They Cloned Tyrone: Directed by Juel Taylor. With John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris, Kiefer Sutherland. A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy in this pulpy mystery caper.

    There’s a good story here shoved under a Tarantino level of racial vulgarities and stereotypes, both of which can be easily dismissed as the creative team using them to make a point, and if you’re able to do that than you’ll enjoy a perfectly fine film. There’s some pretty interesting story elements at play here, none of which are unique but are well spun and fit very well.

    “Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red” Review

    Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red: Directed by Ken Cunningham. With Laura Bailey, Haley Joel Osment, Will Friedle, James Mathis III. The Avengers meet a dangerous new foe quite unlike anything they’ve ever encountered before.

    A lower quality animation than I was expecting for a Marvel LEGO movie, but about what I would expect for a direct to dvd adventure that would have limited to no advertising. There’s some really funny jokes here (a nice MC Hammer / Mjoirnir joke is my favorite) and the entire “code red” thing ends up being pretty silly but fun.

    “The Marvels” Review

    The Marvels: Directed by Nia DaCosta. With Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Samuel L. Jackson. Carol Danvers gets her powers entangled with those of Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau, forcing them to work together to save the universe.

    It’s finally out! I’m such a huge fan of Iman Vellani and her Ms. Marvel character and “The Marvels” deliveries absolutely everything I could hope for in a movie that features my new favorite MCU character along with more known (Captain Marvel) and vastly less known (Professor Marvel). There’s plenty of cats too, which is always a plus, along with a whole team of cat herders that are also doing scientific stuff when they’re not trying to keep their stuff from being eaten by space cats.

    If you had any trepidations about watching the film due to the weight of what you COULD watch before watching this movie, please let me assure you that you don’t need to watch anything at all before seeing it. If you happen to latch onto any of the character however, there’s plenty of other stuff with them in it that you can catch up on.

    Also, if you found the performative preachiness of the first film to be a turn off, it’s completely absent in this highly superior sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel. I was in that camp, but I’m of the opinion that there’s a time an place for that type of content and that was exactly what was needed at that time and place.

    Also, there’s two stingers, one at the immediate end of the film and one in the mid-credits, no need to sit around until the end of the credits unless you want to see the absolutely massive wall of talented VFX workers getting their due recognition.
