65 (2023)

 


65 is a science fiction action adventure film involving a race to get to an escape pod because dinosaurs will kill you or perhaps something else will.

I left a theater a few days ago after seeing Scream VI and I overheard two young ladies hating on this film while walking to their car. I assumed they had just seen it. I really enjoy Adam Driver so I checked out the rotten tomatoes score before going to see 65. Something I normally don't do. This lowered my expectations for the film. Perhaps that was why I enjoyed it.

Adam Driver brings something to every performance I've seen of his. Even in this where he has to carry the film. I bought into him wanting to go home, wanting to save this other child. If it was any other actor working today I don't know if I'd go see Jimmy Kimmel or someone else try this sort of film.

Written and Directed by the duo of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who are both known for A Quiet Place, the film isn't going to make anyone's top ten. I imagine the studio going, Sam Raimi wants to produce this film using this idea. Who could we get to write and direct it? Contact me if I'm wrong Mr. Raimi.

65 could have easily been a lot worse but the time they allowed the VFX artist to finish the film added to the experience and improved its grade for me. Result B-

Superman (2025)

S uperman (2025) brings the Man of Steel back to the big screen in a bold, colorful new start for the DC Universe. Directed by James Gunn , known for Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad , this might be his second-best film. It finds the right balance between hope, humor, and action without falling into the over-jokey MCU-esque trap. Gunn’s love for the character shines through, and the world feels lived-in and full of potential. David Corenswet , previously seen in Pearl and Hollywood , steps into the cape and owns it. He’s sincere, powerful, and manages to give Superman the warmth that has been missing in recent versions. It’s a classic take that still feels fresh. Nicholas Hoult , known for The Menu and Mad Max: Fury Road , is the best Lex Luthor we’ve had. He plays the character with intelligence and menace, but never turns him into a cartoon. He’s unpredictable in the right way and commands every scene he’s in. Skyler Gisondo , best known for The Righteous Gemsto...

M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

M3GAN 2.0 continues the story of the world’s most dangerously sassy AI doll, picking up after the first film's events with a new host, new threats, and a few more upgrades. Directed by Gerard Johnstone , returning from the original M3GAN , the film keeps the same sleek look and dark humor, but the energy isn’t quite the same. The scares are toned down, the satire feels more obvious, and the plot plays it safer this time. It’s still well paced and visually sharp, just not as punchy or fresh as before. Violet McGraw , reprising her role from the first film, shows a bit more range this time. She handles the trauma beats well and sells the emotional moments, even when the script leans a bit cheesy. She’s growing as an actress, and it shows. Allison Williams , best known for Get Out and Girls , returns and feels more like a supporting character this time. She’s fine, just not given much to do besides react to the new version of M3GAN and deliver exposition. Still, she’s a steady pr...

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2019)

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the next chapter in the Dragon Ball franchise, introducing (again) a character into the canon with Broly. Directed by Tatsuya Nagamine, the same man who brought anime fans One Piece Film Z, but other than that he hasn't done much in terms of movies. The real praise once again goes to the legend himself Akira Toriyama , who extends his universe even further and takes the series into a new leg. Anyone who has invested themselves in his universe will be glad about this addition. One of the promising new characters is Cheelai. She's a white-haired humanoid with green skin and small build. She's not really a fighter but she does seem to be the Chichi to Broly's Goku or Bulma to Broly's Vegeta whatever floats your boat.  There is a bit of inconsistency with certain aspects of the film but only huge Dragon Ball fans will even notice. I imagine this film is going to be confusing for anyone who isn't already a big fan. ...
