No Time to Die
This movie here shows a true longing to be with one person. You can see it in Daniel's face and that is the hallmark of a real actor. Ana de Armas is her from Ballerina and I honestly forgot about that.
Thriller

Fast & Furious 6
It is very middle of the ground. I will say one of my favorite scenes is when Luda and The Rock go the get the cars. The British dude just straight up throwing shade at them saying "You don't have an entourage or any hunnies" and then ends up giving his clothes to the Rock. Just very simple comedy
Movies
Now You See Me
giving the secrets away made us feel like we were ahead of the investigation. However, as the movie goes on, you still have the feeling that you are watching a magic show trying to figure out how the next trick is done. It doesn't take away from the movie at all.

The Order (2024)
Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan were the best thing in this show. Jude and Nicholas were outstanding really pushing you to believe they were their characters. The both lead commanding performances. I really enjoyed watching them.
Movies
The Long Walk
I was interested in this movie from the trailers. Mainly for the review and conversation it could have. I am not a big Stephen King person, but I understand how good his work is. This movie is outstanding, and I am curious how people say that the book is even better.

28 Years Later
For a series that is based pure on the fear of zombies and jump scenes, this movie is not in line with that. The tension is the thing that is done so very well. You have the alphas that are incredibly smart and strong with a drive you don't get from the other zombies.
Movies
The Order (2003)
Part of it is the cast. You have the rest of the main three from A Knight's Tale which is one of my favorite movies. I firmly believe that because of their time on the movie, you can see the chemistry in their friendship and love in this movie.
Movies
Fast Five
The action is really good. We get a lot more of the true action with gun fights, and crazy car chases. When you look at the action, you can immediately tell there is no realism to it, but it is just dialed to 11 for entertainment value. Cars are pulling stuff they shouldn't be without issue.
Movies
Spectre
Since Skyfall, these movies have just gotten better. This one you get to see a ton of growth in James, and it really adds a ton of depth to the movie. I really like the layered story telling of all the movies, and it makes sense to the overall story so that is a really nice plus.
Movies
Crime 101
The acting is superb. From Chris, Halle, to Mark, you get outstanding performances that are going to be overlooked, but should not be. I think the downfall from this perspective is Barry Keoghan. Could be the hair, the roles he typically plays, or just the performances he plays, but he just sucks
Movies
Underworld
Classic early 2000s goth fantasy right here. Guns and swords, corsets, color contacts, and Michael Sheen. It is basically an adult version of [[Twilight]] to include the running. While watching this, there is a scene where Sheen is running after a car.
Books
Cold Zero
Issues from a tactical and flight technicality adds to the drama of the story. I think the characters never really had all the answers and there was this back and forth that allowed each character to have a role. From the CIA rep to the SEALs, to the team back in the operations desks.
