John Wick Chapter 4 (2023)

 


John Wick Chapter 4 is the latest installment in the assassin, who no one can seem to kill, John Wick.

Director of all the John Wick movies, Chad Stahelski, is currently Hollywood's hottest action director. He has so many movies and tv shows now in production or pre-production. I'm most excited about the remake or rebooting of Highlander and the adaptation of Rainbow Six. He has proven himself a box office draw and this film is no exception.

The writer of the last John Wick, Parabellum, Shay Hatten takes the franchise to satisfyingly new places that seem to fit within the universe. I enjoyed Day Shift and Army of the Dead. Speaking of which, he has a sequel coming out soon for Netflix called Planet of the Dead. So look forward to that.

Keanu Reeves reprises his role for Chapter 4. He seems just as fit as in the first. I look forward to BRZRKR for which Reeves is the main character in the comic. It just concluded and is going to be an interesting adaptation. It's not too late to pick up your copies of the comic before they shoot up in price too. 

As far as which one is the best in the series, number one will always be the best and it's probably too hard to compare the rest of them since they're all so interesting to watch. This one takes some odd choices that pay off but were risky. I'd still highly recommend this film. Result: A-

Soulm8te (2026)

Soulm8te is written by James Wan (among others) and directed by Kate Dolan , presenting a surprisingly grounded vision of a future shaped by artificial companions. Rather than leaning immediately into horror, the film spends much of its first half exploring how synthetic relationships could realistically compete with human ones, making the premise feel less like fantasy and more like an inevitability that's only a few years away. Because of that approach, the film often plays more like a science fiction thriller than the horror movie its marketing suggests. While some narrative decisions are genuinely head-scratching, the grounded setup and believable world-building make the story compelling enough to overlook many of its flaws. Isabelle Bonfrer plays the artificial companion and delivers the film's most memorable performance. For much of the runtime she channels the cold, emotionless efficiency of The Terminator , creating an unsettling presence through subtle expressions an...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton , the filmmaker behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings , and he brings a welcome sense of energy and confidence to the latest chapter in Spider-Man's story. Cretton keeps the pacing brisk and knows exactly when to indulge in fan service without letting it completely overshadow the story. There are enough crowd-pleasing moments that longtime fans will likely leave satisfied, even if the film falls just short of true greatness. Tom Holland , known for The Impossible and Spider-Man: No Way Home , gives what I consider to be his strongest performance as Peter Parker. I'm usually critical of his acting, but here he shows far more emotional range and confidence than in his previous appearances. Zendaya , known for Dune and Challengers , also delivers one of her best performances to date. Which if you know me, that is a considerable statement. The chemistry between the two feels more natural than ever, and bo...

The Dink (2026)

The Dink is a sports comedy centered around the world of pickleball, a premise that will probably turn away a good number of viewers before they even press play. Fortunately, director Josh Greenbaum understands exactly how ridiculous that sounds and wisely leans into the absurdity instead of trying to make the sport seem more important than it is. The film is self-aware from beginning to end, never taking itself too seriously. It's also easy to see why this skipped a theatrical release in favor of streaming. This feels like the kind of movie that will naturally find a larger audience on Apple TV+ than it ever would have in cinemas. Jake Johnson , known for New Girl and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , stars as the film's lead. While Johnson has proven to be a likable comedic actor in the past, he never quite generates enough laughs here to carry the movie on his own. Sean Clements , known for Workaholics , delivers the type of humor that reminded me why that series never...
