Insidious: Out Of The Further

A trio of stalkers infiltrate a quiet suburb and force a new family into the astral plane, where they uncover a terrifying truth: the Further is bleeding into the real world.

You know a franchise has gone on too long when you realize that it's the 6th movie in the franchise and you are shocked.   That's how I felt about this movie.   It's just an extension of what has already been done or happened.   There were some good jump scares.   There were one or two scenes that were pretty cool/creepy.   But there rest was just there and quite laughable.   

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this movie unless you are a fan of the franchise and want to see how it continues.   Its pretty random how they explained it but they did a good enough job of doing so in order to keep the story going.

Mutiny

In Mutiny, after witnessing his billionaire boss's murder and being framed for the crime, Cole Reed (Jason Statham) boards a cargo ship on a one-man crusade to avenge his boss's death only to discover an international conspiracy.

This was just Jason Statham 34.   Same exact movie with a different setting.   They really should just called his names by his name and the location.   Jason Stratham on a shipping vessel.  That's what this was.  You basically forgot about it as watching and honestly they all kind of blur together.  There were several times where I thought I was rewatching a movie of his I already saw.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's just more of the same and it's honestly pretty tired by now.

Tony

Tony is a biographical comedy-drama following a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain in 1976 as a transformative summer working in a Provincetown, Massachusetts kitchen helps shape the future culinary icon.

This was a decent autobiographical watch I guess.   It was more entertaining and catchy than I expected but honestly I didn't expect much at all.  I don't know where the demand really was for this movie as a whole.   But they made it kind of work interest level wise.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.   It's not a must watch by any means but it was not as big of a waste of time as I thought.

The End Of Oak Street

After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.

This was a fun throwback summer popcorn movie.   Take a very random and not overwhelming premise and run with it.  Lots a great jump scares.  Believable family drama and chaos.   And it was a perfect 90 minute run time.   Just a fun ride experience at the movie theater.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It's what going to the movies in the summer used to be all about.

The Brink Of War

President Reagan races against time to salvage a deal with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that could dismantle nuclear arsenals--or ignite disaster. With pressure mounting from advisors, intelligence agencies, and history itself, every word spoken brings the world closer to peace... or destruction.

This is another of those historical moment movies to come out this year that I'm not sure what the demand was for it.   The cast was great.  They did a good job of capturing the moment in time.   But it's kind of forgettable instantly after you watch it unless you are a history buff.

I would not recommend this to anyone that isn't a history buff because of what I said above but if you are a history buff, you would likely very much enjoy this.

One Night Only

Set in a slightly fictionalized New York City, the 2026 romantic comedy One Night Only follows recently dumped pizza shop owner Owen and hopeful romantic jingle singer Allie. They navigate a chaotic 12-hour annual window when the government legally permits unmarried citizens to have sex, running into endless misadventures while trying to find a real connection.

This movie kept the very smart and laughs inducing premise of the one night only rule being a government mandate for single people being allowed to have pre-marital sex.   Kind of like a Sex Purge.  I had assumed it took place on New Years Eve from the trailer but the mandate thing became a whole important part of the movie that tons of laughs and predicaments came from.   The two leads were great and very believable as was their awesome chemistry that jumped off the screen.   As the night progressed you found yourself hoping more and more for them to get tothether and the payoff worked great.

I would absolutely recommend this movie to everyone.  It was an incredibly fun rom com with great chemistry that hooks the audience a lot and is full of laughs.

Ice Cream Man

In Eli Roth's slasher film Ice Cream Man, an idyllic suburban town descends into absolute madness when a mysterious ice cream vendor arrives in a vintage truck and serves sweet, magical treats that brainwash local children into becoming bloodthirsty, homicidal maniacs set on destroying the adult population.

My god this movie was awful.  It was honestly so bad that you couldn't even laugh at or enjoy how bad it was with good company.   I'm all for a bad movie that you can roll your eyes at and somehow turn into a fun experience but then there are movies that are so bad that you can't even do that.   This is very much the former.   Eli Roth continues his spiral into someone that should truly be on an international watch list because of the truly gross shit that goes on in his head.

I would absolutely never recommend anyone seeing this.  Ever.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

Wow!   My expectations for this movie were very high and they massively surpassed them.   This was the exact formula of what has worked for Marvel in the past.   Come back to an existing franchise from the overall Avengers one - do justice by the existing characters in this franchise - have a couple of great crossovers to advance connections and storylines - and introduce new characters that will be major players moving forward a la Black Panther (and Spider-Man technically) in Civil War.   This movie finally had the Hulk being Hulk again.  This movie had the whole crowd hanging on all sorts of emotional strings.   And Tom Holland continues to solidify himself as my favorite Spider-Man.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.   It was a very awesome watch and I can't wait to see it again.
