Freelance

Stuck in a dead-end desk job, former special forces operative Mason Pettis reluctantly takes on a freelance gig to provide private security for a washed-up journalist as she interviews a ruthless dictator. When a military coup breaks out just as she's about to get the scoop of a lifetime, the unlikely trio must figure out how to survive the jungle and one another to make it out alive.

This is the definition of a made for DVD movie.  This is the biggest example of how much the writers strike and actors strike have screwed Hollywood.  This being a theatrical release is crazy.  I like Cena and Alison Brie but this movie is a complete waste of time and was never meant to be seen on the big screen.   So crazy.

I wouldn't recommend anyone really bothering with this.  It's a just there movie and there are definitely better things you could be doing or watching.

Five Nights At Freddy's

The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy's won't be so easy to make it through.

This movie is exactly what I thought it would be.  I never really understood the craze over the games years ago and once I heard the movie was opening up in theaters and streamers at the same time I figured it would be a just there, mailed in, PG-13 "horror" movie.   And that is what it was.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It plays more like a 10 minute sketch of Chuck E Cheese going bad.  

Killers Of The Flower Moon

Based on journalist David Grann's 2017 best-selling book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon recounts the true story of how a white businessman and self-proclaimed "true friend" of the Osage Nation orchestrated the brutal murders of numerous members of the tribe in early 1920s Oklahoma.

This was an amazing movie.  How could it not be with DiCaprio, DeNiro and Scorcese?   But like . . . . .  it was long as hell.  I had to split the movie in half to watch it.   It wasn't boring.  It was a great story with amazing performances but that's just a long time to be watching a movie that is not action packed.  That's a long time even if it was action packed.   But yes - the movie was amazing and should be up for a ton of awards this year.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out but it is a loooooooooooong watch.

The Exorcist: Believer

When his daughter, Angela, and her friend Katherine, show signs of demonic possession, it unleashes a chain of events that forces single father Victor Fielding to confront the nadir of evil. Terrified and desperate, he seeks out Chris MacNeil, the only person alive who's witnessed anything like it before.

I have truly grown to feel like exorcist movies have become the lamest version of horror movies.   For every ten made you get one that might be above average.  This was not the one even with the attempt at working the nostalgia angle with the original one.  It took way too long to get going and once it did you had pretty much seen everything in the trailer.   It's pretty much forgettable the second the movie is over.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this movie that ultimately is really just kind of there.  

The Creator

As a future war between the human race and artificial intelligence rages on, ex-special forces agent Joshua is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI. The Creator has developed a mysterious weapon that has the power to end the war and all of mankind. As Joshua and his team of elite operatives venture into enemy-occupied territory, they soon discover the world-ending weapon is actually an AI in the form of a young child.

This was a really good sci-fi movie.  I have always said that the best sci-fi is when you are basically taken to their world and leave the theater thinking that you might be coming out into that world and this accomplished that.   The characters were well developed and I enjoyed the story.  It was a little too long and strangely tried to be a little too artsy at times but those are minimal knocks against a very enjoyable sci-fi ride of a movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very enjoyable watch and visually awesome.

Saw X

Hoping for a miraculous cure, John Kramer travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure, only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer uses deranged and ingenious traps to turn the tables on the con artists.

I mean it's just more of the same.   This is the 10th one.  It's been going on for 20 years now.  You either are gonna see this or you are not and what I have to say about it will have zero effect on that.  LOL.   The background story was decent but let's be honest - this is just about the crazy setup traps and they were as nasty as always.

Like I said - no point in my recommending it or not.  If you like these I'm sure you will like them.  If you don't why in the blue hell would you start now?
