1h 37m | PG-13 Bought it in a 4k steelbook and now it’s sitting proudly on a shelf, never to be watched again. It’s a pretty nice steelbook though! Buy On Amazon!

A civilian diving team is enlisted to search for a lost nuclear submarine and faces danger while encountering an alien aquatic species. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this and while it’s still an enjoyable film, knowing what I know about both the behind the scenes stuff with this movie and the science behind how deep they’re going, it’s hard to suspend my disbelief. If you’re able to turn off that part of your brain though, boy howdy this is a fun movie. Buy On Amazon!

Venom: Directed by Ruben Fleischer. With Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze. A failed reporter is bonded to an alien entity, one of many symbiotes who have invaded Earth. But the being takes a liking to Earth and decides to protect it. I own the steelbook of the 4k movie now! It was just a couple bucks, so why not. The movie itself is still goofy, but I think I’m getting over the fact that they’ve changed the character so much for these films and have accepted him for what he is now. Buy On Amazon!

While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. They somehow managed to fit 3 different Alien flicks in this one movie’s 2 hour run time. The pacing is damn near perfect, the scary stuff is scary as hell, and the alien / human / android drama plays fantastically. There was only one point that I doubted where they were going (it was something that also happened in Resurrection) but the direction they went in was appropriately horrifying and worked...

Borderlands: Directed by Eli Roth. With Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Edgar Ramírez, Jamie Lee Curtis. Based on the best-selling videogame, this all-star action-adventure follows a ragtag team of misfits on a mission to save a missing girl who holds the key to unimaginable power. The internet seems to think that this is the worst movie in the world, but it doesn’t rise to the terrible results of other video game adaptations and has it’s own share of great moments, but at the end of the day it’s not terrible, not great, just mediocre. I think my complaint with it would...

Anyone But You: Directed by Will Gluck. With Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell, Mia Artemis, Nat Buchanan. After an amazing first date, Bea and Ben’s fiery attraction turns ice-cold–until they find themselves unexpectedly reunited at a wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple. It’s on Netflix and as you may imagine, it’s a good film! I still do love Sydney Sweeney in nearly everything she’s been in and I’m starting to really appreciate Glen Powell, he’s been pretty rock solid in all the stuff I’ve seen him in. I originally...

Street-smart Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan, and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. I enjoyed this for what it was and while there are undeniably things that could have been done better, but this final product was pretty darn good. Buy On Amazon!

Morbius: Directed by Daniel Espinosa. With Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris. Biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead. I think I regret buying this for $8 on disk with digital code, then watching it. What an absolutely confusing mess of a film. Buy On Amazon!
