Casino Royale
This is 2006 though and parkour and the entire first 10 minutes of the movie is basically that. Which honestly, I am not mad about, but I am glad that it is over.

Code Name: Pale Horse
This was a crazy book full of wild stories from sacrificing a goat, to selling drugs, and becoming friends with the most unlikely people. Scott Payne is pretty good writer and I have no issue with his story telling. Just want more information about certain things

Marvel Phase 2
With a second set of movies being exactly that, a second set of movies, there is nothing that brings the series forward for me. I think you can start to see the cracks in the formula, but also some highlights that they should have focused on.

Ant-Man
I really like the CGI and slapstick comedy in this. I think it is because of the blend of practical and CGI combined from the tiny and full size perspective. The scene of them fighting on the Brio Thomas the Tank Engine train set, which honestly the fact that I pulled that name from memory is cool

Ballerina
Ana De Armas is outstanding. Speaking that I really only knew her from Blade Runner 2049, I was concerned about her playing this role. However, her preparation is more than apparent and I owe her an apology. Her acting is well done, the action is chef’s kiss

The Boondock Saints
I can vividly remember first hearing about this at camp in middle school and being told it was awesome, but there was a lot going on. I also heard, maybe at that time and again later that the reason this never made it to theaters is that they actually did shoot a cat in the movie.

First Blood
talk about the action as after the escape from jail that is 90% of this movie. We get that classic hip firing every gun, and the bandanna on the head. Now that I say this, I realize this movie is probably what made it the classic that it is.

Borderlands 4
You also have an abundance of different guns. I think in Borderlands 1, they touted over a billion different guns. I think at this point it has to be way more than that since there is a randomly generated attributes for each gun. This does mean that the guns that you enjoy do not scale with you

The Spear Cuts Through Water
Which is surprising since I thought it was being oversold. However, whether you are watching this as a member of the past, a member of the audience, or being told this epic by your grandmother, this story will suck you In.

The Paper
Esmeralda is so obnoxious, irresponsible, and manipulative, and in an age where the rest of the characters are relatively woke, no one recognizes being gaslit to the uptenth degree. I cannot stand her to the point that I fast forward EVERY seen she was in.

Nobody 2
I understand and could agree with IMDB giving this a 6.7. It isn't great. There is a lot of weird blood splatter, impossible shots/fighting, and other things that just make you shake your head. It isn't great.

Deja Vu
The acting is all over the place. Neither good nor bad throughout. Just there. I am struggling to find a series of thoughts that makes this worth the watch. I just feel that it just spins up what could be so good, but does the bare minimum to pull a story together.
