Fist Fight (2017)

Fist Fight is about a teacher who accidentally gets another one of his colleagues fired and in such is challenged to a fight after school. Most of this movie is unbelievable.

Richie Keen directed this film and will probably go back to directing TV after this. There was nothing special about his direction, though nothing really technically wrong either. He's just caught in the limbo of not being good or bad.

Ice Cube plays his typical character and since he's so good at selling that person it really wasn't a stretch to see him act this way. Even if his character does unbelievable acts.

Charlie Day is my favorite "Sunny" actor and like Cube he's basically playing the same character he always did. It's like a What If? movie where what if Ice Cube fought Carlie Day, because they're playing themselves with the added addition that they are teachers.

Did it make me laugh? Yes. It wasn't even Day or Cube that made me laugh but more so the minor characters like Jillian Bell and Tracy Morgan who play even crazier teachers.

Result: B- (If a comedy can get a laugh out of me it's at least above average)

Cinderella (2021)

  Cinderella is a modern take on the classic tale. This time everything is politically upside down. Written and Directed by Kay Cannon,   Cinderella takes any chance it can to push an agenda. It's nauseating in the forcefulness of the propaganda. It's hard to take any scene that isn't singing seriously. It lives in a dystopian world where anyone who doesn't think progressively like-minded is a fool and shouldn't have joy. The direction is okay, but that's to be expected as she probably picked up some being the producer of the Pitch Perfect trillogy. Camila Cabello  plays Cinderella and her first major film. She can sing and performs well next to her stepmother played by Idina Menzel, who needs no introduction. Surely, she will be in future musicals and I can only hope for one with a better writer. Pierce Brosnan  plays King Rowan and is forceful in his performance but given the point of his character, it's sad to see. Someone had to be the punching bag, and ...

Escape Room (2019)

Escape Room  is presented as a Saw-like game of puzzle solving or your life ends. This time around they remove the gore to get a PG-13 rating and a January release. Adam Robitel is best known as the director of Insidious: The Last Key. Which I 'saw' and meh'd about last year. He also did Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension which I haven't seen. I stopped watching the Paranormal movies after The Marked Ones. There are some camera/direction problems nothing an average movie-goer would notice. Taylor Russell plays the main character Zoey. Don't take any offense, but she has a really hard time going full Aspergers, but once she turns Lara Croft she does a decent job. She also did the over-looked Lost in Space TV series which I still need to watch. I want to see Deborah Ann Woll in more movies after seeing her in this. She was a shining star in this film. She plays a former military survivor with a lot of baggage. You'll remember her as Karen Page from ...

Glass (2019)

Glass  is the final in the Unbreakable trilogy. This time Mr. Glass finally sees his masterminded plot to fruition. Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan , Glass is about...well it's about these superheroes. They are supposed to be, at least that's the question throughout the film. It's a hesitation that really cuts the film down from being better. Bruce Willis  returns as David Dunn from Unbreakable. He's better in this than he has been as of recent. That's not saying much, he doesn't really do much of importance. Samuel L. Jackson  returns as Mr. Glass who for most of the film he's just sitting there doing nothing. The film is called class but really it's more about James McAvoy's character in the first half of the movie. James McAvoy plays the same characters from Split. He's great at changing over and switching between them but I got enough of that in Split. After a while, I was just waiting for other characters to d...
