In the Grey (2026)


In the Grey is written and directed by Guy Ritchie, known for Snatch and The Gentlemen, and the film carries all the style and personality audiences expect from him. The dialogue is sharp, the pacing is confident, and the story constantly moves with a sense of swagger that keeps it entertaining throughout. Ritchie once again proves he knows how to make even familiar action setups feel fresh through his direction and character work.

Eiza González, known for Baby Driver and Ambulance, plays the beautiful and manipulative lawyer role perfectly. She brings confidence and charisma to every scene, balancing charm with danger in a way that fits naturally into Ritchie’s world. Beyond just looking the part, she fully commits to the character’s aggressive personality and ends up being one of the film’s strongest presences.

Henry Cavill, known for Man of Steel and The Witcher, delivers another very likable performance. His natural charm works extremely well here, especially in the film’s lighter moments. Cavill feels relaxed and comfortable, giving the movie a steady lead presence that helps tie together the chaos around him.

Jake Gyllenhaal, known for Nightcrawler and Prisoners, plays the mysterious wildcard of the group and adds a lot of personality to the film. He balances humor and unpredictability well, making it hard to tell exactly what his character is thinking at any given moment. His chemistry with the rest of the cast helps elevate several scenes and keeps the film energetic.

Overall, In the Grey is a stylish and entertaining action film that feels confident in what it wants to be. Strong performances combined with Guy Ritchie’s signature flair make it an easy watch even when the story gets messy. In the Grey may not reinvent the genre, but it absolutely delivers on entertainment. It's going to be sad seeing this fade into obscurity. Result: B+

Godzilla Minus Zero (2026)

Godzilla Minus Zero is the follow up to Godzilla Minus One , once again written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki . While this entry is more exciting than its predecessor, it still carries some of the same flaws, particularly the overacting from one of its leads, Ryûnosuke Kamiki . The film continues to lean heavily into the human side of the story, taking time to establish what needs to happen for a Godzilla movie to make sense, including why the monsters fight and how everything eventually comes together. I understand the need for that setup, but I think most people in the theater were simply waiting for Godzilla to show up. Minami Hamabe was great as Noriko in the previous film, and her presence remains welcome here. Masami Nagasawa also makes a strong impression as the new character Makoto Aoyama , stepping into the story with a performance that gives the film another interesting human element. Hidetaka Yoshioka is another noteworthy presence, reprising his role as Noda and he...

The Exorcist: Believer (2023)

  The Exorcist: Believer is another attempt by David Gordon Green to bring back old classics and make them new again. I wonder if history will be favorable with director Green.  In the past, he has done a disservice to Michael Myers and before that, he was probably best known for Pineapple Express. Before you ask if I might have had some bias going into the film, I didn't know Green directed the film till a few minutes ago. That being said I'm cautious about the sequel that was greenlit for him. The main victim in the movie is played by Lidya Jewett  who has some great makeup put on her and she does her best to impersonate Linda Blair  but I couldn't but get distracted by her huge forehead. Look her up and you'll see that her forehead is half of her whole head. Leslie Odom Jr. has the biggest part in the film. While the original exorcist focused on the priest this time the focus is on the father. He delivered the lines that were written for him well but I would have ...

Drive (2011)

Drive is about a stuntman and mechanic who also does a side job where he a getaway driver. Things get heated when he gets involved with the mob by helping his neighbor. The film is directed by Nicolas Winding Refn . He's worked with Gosling before when he did Only God Forgives a mediocre film but regardless very well directed. Refn directs one of the best performances from Gosling and Mulligan. This film also has one of the best car chases I've ever seen as well as the introduction of the main character. Everything has a place in a film like this, even a shot of the back of Gosling's jacket shifting. Ryan Gosling plays the Driver. He has one of the best examples of minimalist dialogue with only speaking 116 lines. He has intensity and emotion in his expressions and the delivery of his lines. There's a scene especially when he talks with his neighbor's kid and asks him how he knows who the bad guys are. It's great. Look deeper and you'll find gems. O...
