Road House (2024) 7/10
I will always take the original over this version, as 80s nostalgic cheese is hard to beat. However, this take was entertaining enough. Jake Gyllenhaal's easy charm carries the film, and Conor McGregor cracked me up whenever he appeared on screen. It perhaps loses a point for the fat chick diversity hire in the bar. |

“Toy Story” might have won you the point but you got cocky and threw in “The Santa Clause”. So there we have it, “Galaxy Quest” is far and away the best film that Tim Allen ever got involved with. Followed closely by “Joe Somebody”. |

The first "The Santa Clause" movie was pretty good... a classic as Destor says....
But not as classic as Toy Story or Galaxy Quest. (Well, to the majority of the public probably more classic than Galaxy Quest.... but not to me, dammit!) |

I enjoyed Dream Scenario a lot. The rendezvous with the girl from the marketing firm was hysterical and it had a lot of salient points about collective hysteria/hive paranoia

I never made a case that it was better and certainly not objectively better my point is that GQ is "far and away" better is definitely not above contestation. The guy has been in some objective all time classics.

I want to see Dream Scenario...
Saw Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. I was entertained. Certainly not as bad as everyone seems to say. It is very much "disposable content" in that it really doesn't add anything to the "mythos" or "lore". Honestly feels like an extended pilot episode for a new cartoon show. |

Venom: Let There be Carnage - 5/10
I actually really liked the first Venom movie. It was kind of ridiculous but in a way that took you a bit off guard. This one was like "ha ha, remember how ~quirky~ our first movie was? Let's amp that up a bit and use a bunch of dated cringy jokes teehee" also Carnage didn't really kill a whole lot of people which sucked, I wanted to see him kill like 200 people or something, felt very non-threatening |

Yeah, that's what I am saying like it was just pretty much a brand exercise.... but even saying all that if I just accept that and move on, I was entertained for what it was.

Watched Michael Mann's Thief for the first time. 8.5/10. Great fucking movie. Sizzling dialogue. And the diner scene with Tuesday Weld is magic. Plus, Jim Belushi's bullet-ridden corpse gets thrown into a vat of acid, and that's awesome.

It’s trite, lowest common denominator rubbish: a cash grab aimed at dimwits and that’s totally fine, but it’s not a classic for exactly that reason. It is classic in the sense that it is a typical turkey of a Christmas film, but it is not a classic in the sense that it is an outstanding example of quality judged consistently over time. It ranks higher than Fred Clause, but not by much. |
