“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” Review

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: Directed by George Miller. With Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Alyla Browne. The origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa before her encounter and teamup with Mad Max.

While this is a perfectly fine movie, I constantly had to ask myself why this movie needed to be made and why nearly everyone involved seemed to be winking at the camera asking “hey do you remember this person/place/thing from Fury Road?!? Here it is 20 years before you saw it in that movie! Isn’t that great?!”. There’s no major misteps, no majorly questionable decisions, but again I wonder. Did we need to fill in all these particular blanks? The Furiosa character was built largely on the skills and charisma of Charlize Theron and while Anya Taylor-Joy is great in the role, it would have been much more palatable to see more of the Furiosa that we fell in love with in her first movie.

“We Own the Night” Review

We Own the Night: Directed by James Gray. With Joaquin Phoenix, Eva Mendes, Danny Hoch, Alex Veadov. A New York City nightclub manager tries to save his brother and father from Russian Mafia hitmen.

I watched this due to some gratuitous scenes with Eva Mendes that were floating around the cybersphere and while those scenes were great they really had no bearing at all on the rest of the movie and in hindsight really stick out as being out of place in a grungy look at a family of cops that have a member that’s too friendly with the wrong type of crowd and it ends poorly for everyone involved. It’s a good film but other than the Mendes scenes, it’s not really in my wheelhouse of enjoyment.

“Atlas” Review

Atlas: Directed by Brad Peyton. With Jennifer Lopez, Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan. In a bleak-sounding future, an A.I. soldier has determined that the only way to end war is to end humanity.

I spent nearly a decade as a data analyst and not even once was I ever offered a mech suit, but other than that curious part of the plot, this is a pretty solid mech suit movie with a barely there plot driven largely by using familiar concepts of terrorist robots that want to protect humanity from itself by killing all of humanity, much like Skynet. Jennifer Lopez as always is making every effort and she pulls it off pretty well in a role that she’s largely emoting by herself on screen with an off screen mech voice interacting with her. It’s a fun movie for a fun night with a bowl of popcorn and is safe from exploring the larger implications of artificial intelligence or the singularity.

That’s a nice leg split!

In innocence, children they prey

In innocence, children they prey,
With schemes to lead hearts astray.
Parents foot the bill,
For the indoctrination drill,
As companies profit and play.
