While the action is absolutely terrific, it really is the cast that keeps this train running.
Expect three hours of furious fistfights, stylish cinematography, and some of the industry’s best stunt performances.

If you are an action junkie, you need to see this on the big screen.

Honorable mention – Violent Night. – Silly and fun.  This could make it into everyone’s Christmas movie rotation.

1. Everything Everywhere All at Once. I am glad to see my favorite Goonie back on the big screen.
2. Glass Onion – A Knifes Out Mystery. Lacks the charm of the original, but is still a blast.
3. Prey. – Incredible visuals and story with a small budget. I hope we get more from this world.
4. Top Gun: Maverick. – This was almost a perfect movie. One to be viewed on the big screen.
5. The Batman. – Matt Reeves brought Batman’s world to life.

Honorable mention – Morbius. – There are so many things wrong with this movie.

5.Fantastic Beast: The Secrets of Dumbledore. – You would think with a world as big as Harry Potter’s they could give us a good story. This movie was a mess.

4.Uncharted. – Two hours of Mark Wahlberg playing Mark Wahlberg and Tom Holland playing Tom Holland.

3.Elvis. – Most will disagree. I wanted a movie about Elvis not about Colonel Tom Parker.

2.The 355. – I didn’t know an action movie could be this boring.

1.Thor Love and Thunder. – Enough with the jokes and give us a compelling story.

As a huge fan of Batman, I was very excited back when this movie was first announced with Ben Affleck directing and starring.  Things changed quickly when he dropped out of directing and was replaced with Matt Reeves and Ben returning as Batman.  Then in a quick turn, Ben dropped out of staring which allowed Matt to direct his version of Batman.  And what Matt delivered was a spectacular masterpiece.

The Batman has themes from movies such as Chinatown, Seven, and Zodiac all rolled into one.  Matt took heavy influences from multiple comic books such as Year One, The Long Halloween, and Earth one.  The Batman is visually astonishing and something fresh that most comic fans have been yearning for.

Robert Pattinson killed it as Batman, not so much as Bruce Wayne (we will talk more about that on our podcast review).  Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Jeffery Wright (James Gordon) and John Turturro (Carmine Falcone) all turn in outstanding performances.  In my mind, both Paul Dano (Riddler) and Colin Farrell (Penguin) stole the movie.  I am excited we will see more of Colin as OZ on his HBO Max spin off series.

That Batman is smart, thrilling, engaging, and entertaining ride through a Gotham City that I hope to see revisited many more times.  Make sure to see it on the big screen before it goes to HBO Max on April 19.

Worth is a substantial film about the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund that addresses whether it is possible to put a price tag on a life.

Michael Keaton delivers some of his best work since Birdman in Worth.  “Worth” is an intelligent and empathetic drama that’s definitely worth your time.

The Last Duel is a movie that demands a lot from its audience, it’s both emotionally and intellectually exhausting.  It was refreshing to see a story being told from three different viewpoints.

There is enough dramatic material, excellent performances, and engaging moments of gruesome action that make The Last Duel is interesting and compelling to watch from start to finish.  If you’re a fan of director Ridley Scott, you need to give The Last Duel a viewing.

This is more entertaining than its predecessor, but the supporting cast isn’t as strong, and Hammer’s presence doesn’t help the situation. It’s worthy of a one-time watch due to Branagh, Mackey and Gadot, & the stellar cinematography & production design.

Ultimately, Death on the Nile is an entertaining film but feels less like a blockbuster production you watch on opening night and more like a film you stream on a quiet evening at home.

Honorable Mention – “Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.”  You would think with all the incredible source material Hollywood would be able to make a good movie.  The only reason this movie didn’t break the top five, it has a few action senses that are phenomenal.

5-“Halloween Kills.”  I was sad this move made the list.  The last Halloween movie was incredible.  This movie focused more on gore and less on character.

4- “Outside the Wire.”  Hollywood is really trying to make Anthony Mackie a thing or his agent it terrible.  Poorly paced movie with too many plot holes.

3- “Gunpowder Milkshake.”  The name should have been enough for me to avoid.  An incredible cast without anything to do.

2- “F9.” John Cena couldn’t even save this mess.  I see why the Rock left the franchise.  I mean they take a car to outer space.

1- “Space Jam a New Legacy.”  Just call it what it was, “CASH GRAB”. I honestly forgot they were playing basketball.  The best parts of this movie where the 2D animations.  I enjoyed LeBron in “Trainwreck” back in 2015, but what was he doing here.  This might be the worst movie I have seen in the past decade and I sat through “Jungle”.
