B-
“This resurrection exists for one reason: to establish a franchise. It’s a calculated, low-risk gamble that might just pay off mostly due to Affleck and Bernthal.” –

Twisters (2024)

“The reality for Twisters, however, is that it’s more reliant on the amusement park ride vibes it projects. It feels more like an immersive experience than an emotional one.” –

B
“Nichols crafts a gritty, compelling survey of biker history. Based on a book by Danny Lyon, who followed the club for a book of the same name, it’s told from the perspective of Kathy, Benny’s wife, an interesting choice.” –

Fly Me to the Moon (2024)

“Where Fly Me to the Moon runs into turbulence is in weaving its disparate plot elements together. Is it a drama? Comedy? Rom-com? “X-Files” episode? Ultimately, that limits the ability to enjoy the film without the mind wandering.” –
