    • Smokey and the Bandit 3.5/5: I expected this to suck but I was really blown away. Burt Reynolds is legitimately funny, Eastbound and Down is an incredible theme song, and the whole ACAB motif of the movie aged very well
    • The Legend of Ochi 3/5: I saw this for mystery movie monday and spent most of the time thinking this was a mostly AI generated film. The creators insist there was no AI used in this but it does lead one to wonder why they chose the (for lack of a better term) AI-aesthetic for the whole thing. Regardless, still a weak movie even by kid standards
    • Final Destination 3 2.5/5: It’s fine, there’s some nudity and bunch of teens dying violently. Not much to write home about
    • True Lies 4/5: About the level of sexism I expect from a 90s movie, but still pretty entertaining and has great jokes. Arnold and Cameron are just two heavy hitters doing great work
    • Sinners 4/5: I thought this looked dumb as hell in the trailers but word of mouth got to me so I decided to see it. This movie is pretty good, has good music, pacing, and manages to get you more invested in the characters than most horror movies. It’s worth seeing and I would put effort into seeing it in a packed screening because it’s great with an audience
    • Final Destination 2 3/5: This is also fine. Good kills, a decent plot and I like how it ties it back to the first movie, the bus kill is fucking wild (spoilers)
    • A Minecraft Movie 1.5/5: I would only recommend seeing this in a theater with a bunch of people. There’s about 5 good jokes in the movie and it really feels like there were far too many cooks in the kitchen working on this
