- KPop Demon Hunters (7.5/10)
Hard to believe I watched this film since it's not something I ever go for, but it surpassed my expectations. It had a good plot and storyline, I'm just not a fan of Anime. Solid music and I like how music was incoporated to the plot. " When K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey aren't selling out stadiums or topping the Billboard charts, they're moonlighting as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger."
- Good Fortune (7.5/10)
A star-studded cast featuring Aziz Ansari, Keke Palmer, Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, and Sandra Oh. I enjoyed the film overall, but Keanu Reeves felt like a weak link. His character and performance didn’t quite fit the tone. Everyone else delivered solid performances, with Aziz Ansari especially carrying much of the film’s weight. It’s worth a watch if you’re drawn in by the cast or the premise, which is what hooked me, but it’s not the kind of movie that will stick with you a year from now. " A well-meaning but inept angel named Gabriel meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker and a wealthy venture capitalist."
- Caught Stealing (7.9/10)
Almost made my recommendations list, but something about this film felt just a bit undercooked. The production could have been tighter, and the directing didn’t quite hit that A+ mark. I’m also not fully on board the Austin Butler hype train like many others seem to be. That said, it’s a solid film that kept my attention throughout. I just wish it had been executed with a bit more finesse. " When his punk-rock neighbour asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, New York City bartender Hank Thompson suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters who all want a piece of him."
- Souleymane's Story (9.0/10)
This French-language film is quietly captivating. It feels as though you're watching real life unfold, like you're peering over someone’s shoulder as they navigate everyday struggles. The story follows Souleymane, "an asylum-seeking cyclist who delivers meals in Paris. With only two days to prepare for a crucial interview that will determine whether he’ll receive a residence permit". He faces mounting stress, exhaustion, and uncertainty.
- Looking Through Water (9.2/10)
I loved this new drama starring Michael Douglas and Michael Stahl-David. The story pulled me in right away, and I really enjoyed how it was told through a mix of present-day scenes and flashbacks. It kept me captivated the entire time. The ending was great, a bit cheesy but in a way that felt fitting and expected. " In San Pedro, Belize, a New York executive reconnects with his estranged father during a fishing tournament that transforms three generations."
- Griffin In Summer (8.3/10)
This new indie comedy really surpassed my expectations. It leaned more toward drama, with light comedic moments and surprisingly thoughtful character development. It’s an easy watch, not just because it’s short, but because it never feels confusing or overloaded. " Fourteen-year-old Griffin Nafly an ambitious playwright of his generation. But once he meets handsome twenty-five-year-old handyman Brad, his life (and play) will never be the same."
- Code 3 (7.3/10)
A new comedy/action film with Rainn Wilson that I surprisingly enjoyed. The comedic elements were solid, though I wouldn’t have minded even more. Still, it struck a nice balance between humor and suspense/action, and overall it was a pretty easy movie to watch. " On his final 24-hour shift, a burned-out paramedic is tasked with training his eager but inexperienced replacement. What starts as a routine night quickly spirals into a chaotic, citywide odyssey that tests their endurance, instincts and sense of humor as they race from one emergency to the next."
- Bone Lake (7.6/10)
This is a solid new horror film. I’m satisfied with the 7.6 rating, but with stronger production and direction, it had the potential to be great. The acting was fine, I just wanted more from the filmmaking itself. The comedic elements didn’t really work for me either. This is the kind of movie that could’ve used a bit of Jordan Peele–style inspiration in tone and execution." Diego and Sage's romantic vacation at a secluded lakeside estate gets upended when they're forced to share a mansion with a mysterious and attractive couple. Their dream getaway soon spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies and manipulation as terrifying secrets come to light, triggering a bloody battle for survival."
- Eden (4.9/10)
This is a true story about a small group of people living on an island in the Galápagos. Even with a star-studded cast, it just didn’t draw me in. At times, it felt more like a stage play than a film. " A group of disillusioned Europeans settles on a remote, uninhabited island in the Galápagos. They soon discover that their greatest threat isn't the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but one another. As tensions spiral and desperation takes hold, a twisted power struggle unfolds, leading to betrayal, violence and death."
- Lurker (8.7/10)
I’d never heard of this film until I stumbled across it on Prime Video. It’s sneaky good—but make sure you read what it’s about first, because it might not be for everyone. The acting is strong, with a cast mostly made up of faces I didn’t recognize, aside from one familiar performer. " A retail employee infiltrates the inner circle of an artist on the verge of stardom. As he gets closer to the budding music star, access and proximity become a matter of life and death."
- Dead of Winter (6.5/10)
This was a new thriller I just couldn’t totally buy into. The story was good and the action solid, but having an elderly grandma taking on a bunch of bad guys was a bit hard to swallow. Still, it kept me entertained the whole way through. " A grief-stricken widow stops by a remote cabin after getting lost on the back roads of Minnesota in the middle of winter. She soon finds herself in a desperate fight for survival as she encounters a murderous couple holding a young woman hostage."
- A House of Dynamite (6.4/10)
This is a new Kathryn Bigelow film on Netflix. It had a lot of actors you’d recognize but not necessarily know the names of. The movie looked a bit low-budget — most of it was filmed in just a couple of locations, and the backgrounds were blurred a lot of the time. I wish there had been more background on the characters or more of a plot to latch onto. The whole story takes place over about twenty minutes, shown from different perspectives, which was a unique idea at least. It definitely had potential, but I found myself wanting more from it. The tension was there, but it didn’t fully pull me in. I also wasn’t a fan of the ending, I won’t spoil it, but it just didn’t land for me. " Radars at Fort Greely, Alaska, detect a nuclear missile. The president and his entourage must use the limited time they have to try to shoot down the missile before it reaches Chicago."
