A note for note, perfect summer blockbuster. It's got a charismatic ensemble cast, feels and villains meant for the moment (climate change, data brokers et al). It's fun. Go watch it.

A dark, beautifully cinematic vignette highlighting the human tendency to fear and destroy what we don't understand. Deeply atmospheric, chilling and austere — "nasty, brutish and short" (as Hobbes would put it — though the phrase has been used to the ...

An above average Statham film, capably guided by Guy Ritchie. It doesn't really transcend the genre, but does an excellent job of giving the whole film an emotional heft via H's son that a lot of Statham's movies lack. It was nice seeing Josh Hartnett (he ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/monster-hunter-2020 · 6 Aug 2024
An uninspired and altogether unnecessary (but not unwatchable!) movie. Rife with clichés — the enemy of my enemy is my friend, training montages — it's loaded up. There's even a cat cameo. A catmeo — if you will. This movie, however, is not the cat'...

A spectacularly average movie if ever there was one. The leads do their thing(s) and are serviceable but the story is uninspired, the twists are easy to spot a mile away and it's hard to get invested in any of it. If you're a sucker for post-apocalyptic/al...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/starship-troopers-1997 · 21 Jul 2024
A satirical, witty, gruesome, oversexed and utterly over the top sci fi film. It's a cautionary tale of reckless militarism and succeeds in large part by embracing how absolutely over the top it all is. A classic with lessons that are still applicable toda...

A fun entry into a franchise that's been enjoyable for the duration of the ride. Don't expect anything grandiose but it's an excellent addition and engaging the whole way through.

As fun as it is absurd. Upsetting Jason Statham never seems to go well for anyone. Except for The Rock, but he’s not in this movie, so yeah — bad news all around.
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/furiosa-a-mad-max-saga-2024 · 29 Jun 2024
Sprawling, epic and — at times — deeply touching. George Miller leaves me wanting ever more entries in the Mad Max saga. It’s not quite as good as Fury Road , but it’s the more dynamic and deeply felt of the two. Anya Taylor-Joy renders Furiosa to ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/godzilla-x-kong-the-new-empire-2024 · 25 Jun 2024
Monsters! Explosions! KONG! GODZILLA! It was fun and Mini Kong was pretty adorable. Solid cast and performances, some heartfelt cheese and an overt car product placement (can't recall the brand now though).
