There is a slight feeling of disconnect from the original Alien, from Ripley’s character. That said, the movie is still a very fun ride and brings in new iconic characters who surely will go on to be staples of the franchise.

Deadpool 2 (2018) 3.5/5
Deadpool 2 executes better than its predecessor, but it doesn’t really go far enough. The bond style intro with the Celine Dion original is fantastic and having a bit more of story this time went a long way. The gags are all a bit better and it feels more like a superhero movie with some teeth than the first flick did.
On its own it works well, but is also referential in mostly non-obstructive ways to the first flick.
Deadpool (2016) 3/5
Categories 3/5, Action, Comedy, Movie and Series Reviews 
Deadpool coasts on the goodwill it gets from a few really funny scenes, but large parts of the movie are below average. Even a fourth wall breaking comic book character should have a solid story and interesting bad guys.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) 3.5/5
Categories 3.5/5, Action, Horror, Movie and Series Reviews 
I’m actually excited about this movie, even though I only initially tuned in as a way to waste some time. I heard the reviews, and I was ready for something bad. This isn’t that though. I thought the characters were great and the setting was fun. It is not a perfect movie but I hope there is a world where Jack Kesy gets to be Hellboy again.
Fallen (1998) 2.5/5
Carried largely by an idea and a stellar cast, Fallen is unable to bear the weight of talent. People like to do hypotheticals about movies that could use a remake, and this is a high candidate in my opinion.
Despite its failings, its uniqueness make it still an enjoyable watch and I am a sucker for its vibes. If only it were a little tighter in its writing, rethought its camera tricks, and came across just a bit smarter.
Brothers (2024) 2/5
Categories 2/5, Action, Comedy, Crime, Movie and Series Reviews 
The hand guiding this ride doesn’t really nail it. The cast all show up though. Some script alterations and tone control would have gone a long way.
Run Hide Fight (2020) 0.5/5
I did not know what this was before going into it. I picked a random movie and just went. It took very little time to be know it had to be some politically driven film. Then it gets way worse with all the speeches.
I don’t care who makes the movie, but this was so in-your-face trying to stroke its hero complex to full attention. Uneven acting and poor direction add to the films problems. I see some people calling it Die Hard in a school, how dare you.
The biggest thing? For a movie that tries to be shocking, it really is dull.
The Finest Hours (2016) 3/5
Nothing is superb and nothing is awful. Solidly a middle of the road journey.
