The Garfield Movie 5/10 This was pretty much what I expected going in, a mildly entertaining diversion, but not a particularly good movie by any means. It feels a lot like this was an original script (I use the term original loosely) that was hastily converted into a Garfield script by throwing in ...

The Garfield Movie (Regal):

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (teaser)
My Penguin Friend
Fly Me to the Moon
Harold and the Purple Crayon

That was it, no fully animated trailers.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 8/10 This was pretty damn good overall, easily the 2nd best 2024 release I've seen so far just behind Dune. The highlight for me is definitely Chris Hemsworth, he's delightfully evil as Dr. Dementus and gives quite possibly my favorite performance of his to date. Anya Taylor...

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (Cinemark XD):

The Crow
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (1st red band trailer)
A Quiet Place: Day One
Joker: Folie à Deux
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (new)
Deadpool & Wolverine Cinemark XD promo

Drive-Away Dolls 5/10 It's really dumb, not very funny, and the accent that Margaret Qualley does is distracting as heck. Although, it does deserve some credit for running just 84 minutes (including credits), it'd be far more insufferable if it had dragged on to 2 hours. Silent Night 5/10 What a sh...

Very odd date for Five Nights 2, especially since the 1st made a killing over the pre-Halloween weekend.

Assuming the legs are decent enough, it looks like this franchise has plenty of gas left in the tank.

The Beekeeper 6.5/10 It's little more than Jason Statham violently killing a bunch of caricatures for 100 minutes. Some satisfying punchy action scenes and a brisk runtime are able to keep the movie afloat, but it's bogged down by a needlessly convoluted plot and too much focus on a somewhat unlika...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (Regal):

Joker: Folie à Deux
The Strangers: Chapter 1 (shortened version)
Despicable Me 4 (new)
Inside Out 2
Deadpool & Wolverine
Alien: Romulus

At this rate, I might not see the Bad Boys trailer in theaters at all before it's out.

Not great coming in nearly $1m below estimates, hopefully it can find an audience over the coming weeks, as Kingdom is the only other PG-13 blockbuster releasing until late June.

Godzilla Minus One 7.5/10 Looks like I'm joining the "Minus One is overrated" bandwagon. It's still a good movie for sure with some really stunning scenes. The film excels at making Godzilla a frightening presence, every scene with him is gripping and super tense. What they pulled off here on a sho...

Sure, I'll check it out sometime today.

The Fall Guy (RPX):

IF (get tickets now commercial)
Joker: Folie à Deux
MaXXXine
The Bikeriders
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Trap
Twisters (new trailer, I definitely prefer the teaser)
Despicable Me 4

Fall Guy moved to May 3rd since Universal saw an opportunity to be the summer kickoff film after Disney left that slot up for grabs, and opening 2 weeks before Dune in March probably would've cut its legs more so than opening just before Apes (which was still slated for the 24th back then). This is ...

Ferrari 6.5/10 The movie's technical elements are quite superb, the racing sequences are thrilling with some great sound design, there are a few effective moments, and the performances are generally solid. The problem is that the story put too much focus on dull relationship drama that I couldn't g...
