Road House (2024)
60%
“Yes, show Road House in theaters. Show it at school auditoriums. Show it on bathroom stalls. Road House should be perpetually playing at all times everywhere.” –

“As is, it’s kind of this oddball movie that I’m glad exists and I truly think Sandler is really terrific...” –

Argylle (2024)

“Argylle is a such a knowingly ridiculous movie that, around 45 minutes in, I had been beaten into delight.” –

“I truly believe that Todd Haynes is the only director on this planet who could have successfully made this into a comedy. Or, for that matter, made this at all.” –

The Killer (2023)
85%
“Even though The Killer is coming out during the time of year when prestige movies usually come out, and it’s played a couple of film festivals, it’s not really that kind of movie, and I say that as a compliment.” –

“Stallone seems like someone who still has a lot to say and will tell his stories to anyone who wants to listen. And I’d like to hear some more.” –

Blue Beetle (2023)
78%
“It’s the kind of thing we’ve all seen way too many times before and felt extra disappointing here because there’s a lot in this movie that does feel unique, but then it feels squandered.” –

Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
27%
“Meg 2: The Trench finally picks up a bit during the last 20 minutes or so when they wind up at a resort named Fun Island. Why this movie didn’t just go straight to Fun Island and skip all the nonsense about the rock smugglers is beyond me.” –

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
95%
“This is the first theatrical Turtles film that comes anywhere close to that feeling in the mid-’80s of something that was weird and underground and a little edgy.” –

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
96%
“Once all the teams all start chasing the keys, it’s a lot of fun... But it’s still not a complete story and because of that is nowhere near as satisfying as Fallout.” –

Fast X (2023)

“Honestly, I’d be surprised if it even ends there. We will probably get five more last Fast movies. Why even keep up the charade that these are ending? Let’s just all admit these will never end.” –

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
49%
“The whole concept of superhero universes, especially recently, is to create a feeling of importance, even when that really isn’t the case. So it’s weird and strangely refreshing to watch one of these where that’s 100 percent not the case.” –
