I don’t believe these people are from Oklahoma. I feel like this movie would benefit a lot from the theme park treatment: rumbling chairs and smoke in the air. Just shut your brain off and you will have more fun than me.

Free State of Jones (2016) 3/5
Undeniably entertaining, but Free State of Jones does not do so in any inspired way.
A swing at an epic that falls short when you start to feel the runtime.
Massive appreciation to director Gary Ross for trying to explain what is and is not real in the movie (http://freestateofjones.info/). I am amazed the site is still up and running all these years later.
The Crow (2024) 1.5/5
The acting is whatever, the fights are whatever, and the characters are unlikable (or worse, uninteresting) and nothing balances that out. The movie doesn’t even have the stones to commit to a proper ending from all the build up. Gosh, I really dislike this movie.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) 2.5/5
Unfortunately under delivers and lacks any aspect of identity to set it apart from other ordinary action films. Ultimately, this leaves the movie wading in the shallow end of average waters.
The Island (2005) 1/5
Gosh this movie is so dumb, extending well beyond stupid-fun. Unnecessary scenes, poor cinematography, confused acting, and everything else that can go wrong. Nothing is surprising, not that it tries to be because it is all delivered with a clowns hammer.
What an absolute waste.
Armor (2024) 0.5/5
There is nothing here to be gained. In a sea of films, why subject yourself to this?
