Jurassic World Dominion. Tap in par. If you like the other 5 specifically the last 2 you will like this one. New and old characters on screen together was fun.

Kimi.

Bogey may be even a lipped out double bogey.  Feels like one of those made for TV movie.  No suspense, slow moving in the beginning, etc.

Nope. In IMAX. Real, not LIEMAX. Barely a birdie. I appreciate what he’s trying to do, Peele, it’s not as focused as Get Out was but I generally like films that try for something but miss rather than play it safe.
 

The IMAX aspect ratio to me definitely added to the experience, noticed the IMAX camera usage immediately. Is it Top Gun 2 see it in IMAX no, more Lawrence of Arabia see it in IMAX.

It’s not straight up horror like his two previous movies but it doesn’t contain any less social commentary imho.

Knew that Steve Yeun was in this but also two surprise actors I know also showed up. One from The OA and another from Ocean’s Eleven.

Missed some dialog because of mumbling. So much mumbling these days. Will definitely rewatch for the closed captioning.

The Gray Man, par. It's got some good action sequences, though many are too dark/too fast to truly tell what's happening. Beyond that… same old story. Entertaining for an evening, but nothing more.

Ana de Armas needed a bigger part. 😉

Lightyear, tap in par. My 5 year old loved it. He also likes Buzz Lightyear more than Woody.

Bullet Train. Par but almost lipped out. It just was not as funny as I thought it would be. You could tell they threw some money into the movie not just the well known actors. Maybe I should just read the book. I think that would be a big improvement.

Prey - tap in birdie. A great addition to a certain franchise. If you don’t know anything about it don’t watch the trailer, just go into it knowing it’s an action flick. Too bad this didn’t get a theatrical release I would have certainly gone to a theater to see this.

I agree, I give it a birdie. I really enjoyed  this predator movie.

The Gray Man, tap in Par. A bit to frantically paced during the middle. I question some plot timing issues. The dry humor is good, and the action sequences are pretty good.

Yep.

Echo for what @nevets88said.  I knew almost nothing about the movie other than the ethnicity of the main cast and that it's an action movie.  I had time tonight so I watched a movie and chose this one.   Otherwise same review.  Birdie.

Everything Everywhere All at Once was bonkers crazy, it was a little too much at times, but totally worth a theater visit. Birdie.

Had nobody else seen this?? What an incredible movie. Not a moment of it wasn't captivating or enthralling

You don't look at the butt plug, the butt plug looks at YOU.

I tweeted at the directors and they tweeted back! I noticed something about a musical bit and they said yep. We did that just for people like you who will would notice such details.

What Happened, Brittany Murphy?

Triple bogey. It's not really a movie, but I agree with what's written on Wikipedia:

Quote

In October 2021, HBO Max aired a documentary titled What Happened, Brittany Murphy?, covering the mystery surrounding Murphy's death. In the documentary, Murphy's 8 Mile co-star Taryn Manning remembered her as "free-spirited, whimsical and full of laughter".[55] After the documentary premiere, Daniel Fienberg wrote for The Hollywood Reporter that the documentary was "20 percent a reminder of Murphy's transcendent talent, 30 percent a dead-ended investigation into the mystery of her death, and 50 percent an unenlightening examination of Murphy's late husband", and concluded his review saying that "[Murphy] deserved better than the treatment she received in the media, which probably contributed to [Monjack's] ability to control her in the way he did."[56]
