  1. Ha! Love the thumbnail. Pretty stoked to see how the reboot plays out.

    Fight or Flight (2025 blu)

    Yet another of the many many films trying to emulate and capture the genius on display in The Raid and John Wick series. One man vs a Zillion. Contained space. Its...fine? Ok? not terrible? fun. I like Hartnett as the protagonist. Also i appreciate that the writing/action-direction teams created a set of rules for the first two acts: what kind of common items are on a plane that can be weaponized in a large scale fight....then they threw it all out the window for a 3rd act of bloody mahem. Also the 3rd act has a creative/funny bit with hallucination. Would only suggest for action fans as a check-your-brain-at-the-door actioner.

  2. Major Payne (1995): who doesn't like a group of misfits banding together to save the thing or their reputation. Marlon Wayans is hamming it up to the max, and there's the older sister from Fresh Prince that's always fun to watch. Plus, I've been watching a lot of the tv show that Marlon Jr did a while ago, so I had Wayans on my mind.
