Top Gun: Maverick

After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.

Wow!  This movie was awesome in every way.  And for the record, I am not one of those people that thinks the original is one of the best movies ever or puts it up on a pedestal.  I liked it but this one was the old school kind of movie that made me fall in love with going to the movies in the first place.  It was fun, you got connected, you go emotional both sad and massively happy at times.   You were invested in all the characters and the respect paid to the original was just insane.   

I would absolutely recommend everyone checking this one out.  This is a lock for my top ten list at the end of the year and would currently be the best movie of the year so far with ease.

The Bob's Burgers Movie

A ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob's Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers' plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family's restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope as they try to get back behind the counter.

I have always been a massive fan of Bob's Burgers so was very excited for the movie.  It did not disappoint.  It was a great watch that did justice by all the main characters and even a bunch of the side characters from the show.  I think the best part was that you could pretty much never have seen the show and would still be more than able to enjoy the movie and fall in love with the characters for the first time.

I would definitely recommend people taking in the joy of Bob's Burgers.  It is a lot of fun and a lot of laughs and a perfect escape at the movies.  

Men

In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to find a place to heal. However, someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread soon becomes a fully formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.

What the hell was this?  This is another one of those movies that looks intriguing based off of the trailer and gets great reviews for its originality and creativity and blah blah blah but you sit down to watch it and from start to finish find yourself asking what the hell is this.   This movie was very artistic and very weird. I guess I could see how it was good from a filmmaking standpoint but I honestly thought it was just trash.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It was a weird waste of time that you will forget pretty soon after getting off the weirdness annoyance.  

Firestarter

A couple desperately try to hide their daughter, Charlie, from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for turning fire into a weapon of mass destruction. Her father taught her how to defuse her power, but as Charlie turns 11, the fire becomes harder and harder to control. When a mysterious operative finally finds the family, he tries to seize Charlie once and for all -- but she has other plans.

Couple of quick things because I refuse to spend a lot of time talking about this.  Was there a demand for this movie to be remade?   Did I miss Zac Efron's career going in the toilet that he is playing the dad in this?   Like wasn't he kind of a big deal?   That's really it.  This movie is complete garbage.  It's like a lame made for sci fi network remake of a movie that didn't remotely need to be remade.

I recommend that nobody bother with this.  Ever.   Like legit no reason at all.  

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness

Dr Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens a portal to the multiverse. However, a threat emerges that may be too big for his team to handle.

Marvel never fails.  It's like a given.  They are so good at storytelling and interweaving all the stories together.  This movie served as an awesome sequel to Doctor Strange and Wandavision while capitalizing on things started in Loki and the last Spider-Man movie.  The pacing was great.  The action was so intense that at times it felt like a legit horror movie with a couple of massive sight scares.  The cameos were not as crazy as expected but awesome.   No spoilers but they made me so beyond happy with a casting choice I had wanted to see forever.  

I would of course recommend everyone checking this out.  I will definitely be seeing this a couple more times in theaters.  

Memory

When Alex, an expert assassin, refuses to complete a job for a dangerous criminal organization, he becomes a target. FBI agents and Mexican intelligence are brought in to investigate the trail of bodies, leading them closer to Alex. With the crime syndicate and FBI in hot pursuit, Alex has the skills to stay ahead, except for one thing: he is struggling with severe memory loss, affecting his every move. Alex must question his every action and whom he can ultimately trust.

Yet another movie with Liam Nesson where he has a particular set of skills.  Only this time - he is also battling Alzheimers at the same time.  That is not a punchline.  That is actually the story of the movie.  Never in my life have I seen an actor doing a role and it completely taking over him in the most crazy type casting way.  This is just as forgettable as the 70 movies that he has made since the original Taken with him playing the same role over and over.

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It's is about as forgetful as you can get the second you are done watching it.
