Clown in a Cornfield (2025): Pretty standard slasher with a twist you see coming a mile away, but at 95 minutes, with credits, it's a fun time with just enough gore to keep you entertained...
Little Evil (2017): ...then I realized that Eli Craig (who also directed Tucker & Dale vs Evil, which I love and watch once a year) made this movie that I never saw, so I quickly tracked it down. Tonally, it's midway between Tucker & Dale and Clown in the Cornfield. A kind of parody of The Omen, it's much less slapstick than T&D, more dark humor, and a great cast (Sally Field does a cameo, is also Craig's mom).
F1 (2025): Finally caught this one. It's a fine movie, but it's mostly a visual affair (plenty of racing scenes), and a giant ad for Formula 1. In terms of car racing movie, it's at the bottom of my list. For my money, Gran Turismo was way better, with better characters (I might be alone on this one). A friend of mine tried to defend it by saying I should've seen it in theaters. My answer was that, if I absolutely need the big screen to enjoy a movie, something's missing in that movie. Good visuals don't make a good story.
