The Wrath of Becky (2023)

 


The Wrath of Becky is a revenge action adventure film following Becky as she kills a bunch of right-wing extremists.

Co-directed and written by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote, the film suffers from experienced directors. There were many issues that people would point out on say a CW show. The writing is very politically left and if that's your leaning you'll probably enjoy this film more. There are various scenes that don't make sense and are very coincidental.

Lulu Wilson plays the manic pixie dream girl boss that has no love interest. Her whole purpose is just to punish the men in the movie. She overacts throughout the film. I hadn't seen her in the first film, and I hadn't seen the poster saying "she's back" to know that it was a sequel.

Seann William Scott, of American Pie and Goon fame, plays the main antagonist of the film as the leader of a domestic terrorist group. He certainly was the most skilled as well as prolific actor in the film. Maybe it's just by comparison everyone else seems so poor that makes him look good.

The film was laughable. Result: D

Psycho Killer (2026)

Psycho Killer (2026) is a religious-tinged detective thriller that leans far more into procedural tension than outright horror. Directed by Gavin Polone , who is better known as a producer than a filmmaker, the movie benefits heavily from its screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker , the writer behind Se7en .

The gorgeous  Georgina Campbell plays the detective tracking down the titular killer, and she carries the film with confidence. You'll remember her from Barbarian and recently Cold Storage.  The script gives her plenty of emotional range to explore, from controlled professionalism to visible cracks under pressure. She handles the lore-heavy exposition well and grounds what could have been overwhelming backstory. It is another strong showing for her and proof she c...

Cold Storage (2026)

Cold Storage (2026) is a sci fi horror thriller that surprised me in a good way. The writing is solid enough that it actually calmed some of my worries about Disclosure Day coming later this year since the same writer is involved. The story holds together and stays engaging, even when the visuals do not. The CG is laughably bad at times, but the acting/chemistry keeps the movie watchable. Jonny Campbell directs, with the screenplay by David Koepp , known for Jurassic Park and Spider-Man . His writing here is tighter than expected, which is why it gives me more confidence about Disclosure Day. The direction is straightforward and lets the script do most of the work, even if the effects budget clearly limits what can be shown on screen. He needs a redemption after  Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Joe Keery , known for Stranger Things and Free Guy , is the main reason I showed up. He proves he can handle a leading role after Stranger Things and carries the film with a relax...
