    Auto Focus 3/5: I had heard about this movie and was interested in what grabbed people about it. I didn’t realize Bob Crane was just a straight up pervert, and from what the movie portrayed, not even an illegal or creepy one. Just a charming guy with an addiction that ruined his life

    Bugonia 4.5/5: This was so fun, at multiple points in the story you are fully convinced Emma Stone is and isn’t an alien. Also addressing the allure of conspiracy theories is very timely

    Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero 3/5: I liked giving Gohan and Piccolo a movie. It has good jokes and entertaining fights

    My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! The Movie 2/5: I like the show better than the movie. The movie is pretty generic with the exception of the leading man’s back story except his back story doesn’t really impact the plot that much. Also you can just say your movie isn’t canon to the story, you don’t have to handwave it with some bullshit

    Rocky 4/5: My first time seeing this. I didn’t know Rocky is kind of a bum and a moron, but Sly’s charisma sells it. It was a big risk for him to get this made but it gave him his career and you like to see those gambles pay off. I would be curious if there are other movies where people went all in on themselves, Megalopolis most recently comes to mind

    xXx 4/5: Does this movie make any sense at all? No. However it abandons any sort of plot to do a bunch of cool stunts and that’s pretty fun

    The Running Man (2025) 3.5/5: Glen just doesn’t have the juice like Arnie did. I didn’t love how he kept accidentally falling into the laps of people who wanted to help him, it was little too easy

    Pitch Black 3/5: Apparently this is the first Riddick movie. It has more cool ideas than good acting and it’s clear this cast wasn’t used to working with CGI
