Jackass: Best And Last

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, and the rest of the gang are back on the big screen for one last ride. Embracing their middle-age maturation alongside the younger crew additions, they push their bodies and dignity to the absolute limit one final time. 

Do you really need me to review this?   It's more of the same.  You either are able to laugh at the stupidity or you would never watch something as dumb as this.   This movie is not going to change anything from decades of it that have past.   I personally had the dick and shit stuff but am able to laugh at the rest of the pranks.   And this one managed to pack in some strange sentimentality that actually worked somehow.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the franchise.  If not - again - why would you start trying now?

Supergirl

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

This is a bit of weird movie to review.   I liked the movie overall.  It was definitely entertaining throughout.   I think Millie Alcock is great as Supergirl.   I loved Jason Momoa as Lobo.   The action was good and the pacing was perfect and not dragged out.   But like there was a part of my brain that just kept saying how this movie had pretty much no point except to kind of show you Supergirl working through some stuff.   Like it was a random three day period of her coming to terms with stuff.   

I would still recommend people checking it out.  It was a very fun watch and I liked it but I guess it was just a very weird intro vehicle for this new/main character even though it was entertaining.

The Death Of Robin Hood

Grappling with his bloody past, an aged and weary Robin Hood is gravely injured after a brutal life of crime. Taking refuge in a secluded priory, the legendary bandit is nursed back to health by a mysterious prioress, forcing him to confront his legacy and seek hard-won redemption.

Well this was dull.   Who was asking for a Robin Hood movie that dragged and was like watching paint dry?  This was literally an old man reflecting on his life (where Robin Hood was more of a villain than a good guy) for waaaaaaaaay too long.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It honestly was a snoozefest.

Toy Story 5

The toys face a modern-world crisis when they are suddenly overshadowed by electronics and screens. Bonnie, now 8 years old, becomes completely fixated on a frog-like smart tablet called Lilypad (Lily). As Lily begins to dictate how Bonnie spends her time, the traditional toys panic, fearing they will be permanently banished to the garage.

This was vintage Pixar.  Nothing else really to say.   I liked that they made Jessie more of a lead.   I liked that they still had plenty of Buzz and Woody stuff.   I liked that they still gave the side toys good jokes and moments.  And I really liked that absolutely spot on story line of toys vs tech.   

I very much recommend everyone checking this out.  It is an excellent watch for adults, children and an awesome family outing with tons of parental teaching moments that could help with the tech obsession.

The Furious

When his young daughter is abducted by a brutal international human trafficking ring, a humble but fiercely skilled tradesman goes on a one-man rampage to get her back. Receiving no help from the corrupt local police, he teams up with a relentless journalist on a parallel quest to find his missing wife. Together, the unlikely duo battles their way through an entire underground criminal empire in a desperate race against time to save their loved ones.

This movie was great for what it was.   A revenge martial arts movie.  The action was insane.  The different bad guy characters were developed in a way that you couldn't wait to see them get taken down by the hero.  This was like a throwback Steven Segal movie.   

I would definitely recommend people who like revenge action movies like this.   It's a very enjoyable watch for those kind of movies and the story of child trafficking is obviously something that hooks your interest in the revenge desired way.

Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day follows a cybersecurity defector and a clairvoyant meteorologist on the run from a shadow government corporation.  Racing to reveal undeniable proof of extraterrestrial life to the globe, they champion radical empathy over the fear-based secrecy pushed by ruthless corporate and federal powers.

I was trying to temper my excitement for this movie but it kept creeping in.  Even with the high expectations I was still able to love this movie.   This was vintage Spielberg.   The characters were great and hooked you, the action scenes were amazing and perfectly placed pacing wise.   The best part was that this movie just hit the ground running.   There was something about that where it made it even more of a hook instead of the usual slow and plodding set up.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  I very much enjoyed this movie.   Its a throwback glad you went to the theaters to see it kind of movie.

Power Ballad

The film follows wedding singer Rick who bonds with boy-band member Danny; when Danny uses Rick's song to reignite his own solo career, Rick sets out for the recognition he believes he deserves.

This is one of those movies that ends up kind of disappointing because of the trailer misadvertising.  Like this was hyped as a feel good movie and I was pretty excited to see it.  There was nothing feel good about this until literally like the last ten minutes.  Up until then it was honestly kind of a downer.   They could have done this is a much lighter way and I feel missed the boat on what was promoted in the trailer.

I would still somewhat recommend the movie.  It's not a bad movie.  It's just not fully what was advertised and that was very disappointing.

Masters Of The Universe

Fifteen years after the fall of Eternos, a now-adult Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) lives an unfulfilling life on Earth, working a human resources job while obsessively searching for the Sword of Power. When he finally reclaims his ancestor's sword, he is whisked back across the universe to Eternia by his childhood friend, Teela. Upon returning, he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and the kingdom, Adam must reunite with his allies—including Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba) and the Sorceress (Morena Baccarin)—unlock the secrets of his past, and embrace his destiny as He-Man: the most powerful man in the universe.

This movie could have been good . . . . . . if it wasn't 2 hours and 15 minutes long.   How you make this movie that long when you are being campy, silly and not taking yourself too seriously makes zero sense.   If this was a 90 to 1 hour 45 minute movie it would have been fine for what it was.   A movie about a classic toy line that had a throwback nostalgia feel to the 80s or early 90s.   The action was cool and the look of all the over the top characters was good again in terms of throwback 80s type movies.  But it was sooooooooooooo long and you massively felt it.

I would not really recommend people checking this movie out.   I don't see the franchise picking up and going anywhere . . . .  . unless it ends up going straight to streaming on Amazon Prime.

Scary Movie

Twenty-six years after their original, traumatizing experience, the "Core Four"—Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall—return to the Scary Movie franchise to confront a new, familiar masked killer. 

Taking a swing with this nostalgia act was worth a shot with so many swings at it being taken.  But it was a massive miss.   I think I laughed maybe once or twice through the whole movie.   The spoof scenes felt very forced and the social commentary was even more forced.  It was quite honestly trash.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It's a huge swing and.a miss like I said and not worth the time even though its super short.

I Love Boosters

Corvette (Keke Palmer), Sade (Naomi Ackie), and Mariah (Taylour Paige) are the "Velvet Gang," three inner-city friends who survive by "boosting"—the art of meticulous, professional shoplifting. They target cutthroat, high-end stores and resell the expensive clothing at deeply discounted prices to their struggling, working-class community in an effort they dub "fashion-forward philanthropy."  Their robin-hood operation spirals into an all-out rebellion when Christie Smith (Demi Moore), a powerful and morally bankrupt fashion maven, publicly demeans the boosters while plagiarizing Corvette's own amateur designs. Seeking revenge, Corvette leads her crew on a massive mission to clean out the designer's entire inventory. Along the way, their operation inadvertently inspires factory and retail workers to build class consciousness, igniting a surreal, globe-spanning movement that attempts to overthrow the mega-rich.

This was a very weird ass over the top movie with weird visuals and stuff to cover imaginations running wild.   Like it was funny at times with the weirdness and the very insane score throughout.   But like it's a dumb as hell movie.   LOL!   

I would not recommend anyone really bothering with this . . . . .  unless you are tripping on acid.  You might really like it then.  

Pressure

In early June 1944, the largest seaborne assault in history is fully assembled on the southern coast of England. With the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, General Dwight D. Eisenhower is operating under a painfully narrow window of opportunity. The invasion requires perfect alignment of a specific low tide, lunar cycle, and clear weather. If they miss this 72-hour window, they face catastrophic failure on the beaches of Normandy or the risk of German intelligence discovering the plot.

What a snooze fest!!!   I couldn't even make it through this movie.   Like I'm sure it was well done and yada yada yada but a war movie based on the dependence of weather?   Seriously?   This was a story dying to be told?    Beyond boring.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.   Ever.   Unless you are having trouble sleeping.

The Breadwinner

A supermom lands a Shark Tank deal, switching roles with her breadwinner husband. He struggles to adapt as a stay-at-home dad to their three daughters.

This was good for what it was meant to be.  A throwback family comedy about a dad struggling to do mom's job.   The kids were cute.  The chaos was entertaining.   Good first movie for Nate Bargatze following the age old first movie of most comedians from back in the day.

I would recommend people checking this out.  Its a short and enjoyable family comedy.
