Sisu (2022)
Par for the course
Unfortunately this film is yet another example of the main problem with action films today, it's a shame because there is quite a bit to like and it could have been fantastic. That aforementioned problem is the insultingly ridiculous Fast and Furious style action. Look exactly 100 percent of action films ever made are improbable at best, I have no problem with that but now they actually defy the very laws of physics and survive damage that would kill a marvel hero. Spare me the "It's just a movie" If you make a film that is supposed to exist here on this planet then these films are idiotic and insulting. While not quite as bad as Fast & Furious it's close. There are still good action films being made but more often than not good ideas (like this) are ruined whit looney tunes level realism.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Remember
As a lifelong Star Trek fan I sometimes have to remind myself that the beginning is more often than not a very rough ride. I felt this new series actually had one of the more solid pilot episodes in Trek history and unlike the horrid Discovery and overly dark and cynical Picard, at least gets the tone of Star Trek right. The cast is mostly great, with the laughably bad Melissa Navia being the one exception. The pilot episode plot was simplistic and downright dull but as long as the cast and tone are good I expect to his to be a great addition to the Trek Universe and certainly the best in a long time.
Sixteen Candles (1984)
After reading some reviews here I added a star
This has always been my favorite Hughes film although after the expected snowflake hysteria I added a star for the absolute joy anything that offends that crowd brings me. I understand how they feel though as I'm disgusted and refuse to watch any of the "woke" trash hollywood churns out these days.
Most people used to understand almost nothing was out of bounds in comedy, and most importantly if you take anything serious from a near cartoon comedy like this you need to be locked in a nice gen z safe space.
Great flick, a classic.
