Bullet Train

 




Ladybug is an unlucky assassin who decides to try and do his "nine-to-five" peacefully after one too many jobs has gone amiss...

This was interesting. It had clever dialogue and an engaging premise however the over the top Kill Bill (2003)-esque violence was quixotic. In fact, it distracted from the other promising elements and performances and made it forgettable.

** Rentable

Rated R (for pervasive language, gratuitous violence and brief sexuality)

Thor: Love and Thunder

Thor takes on his greatest mission ever...the quest for inner peace. 


Funny...but not even close to as entertaining as Thor:Ragnarok (2017) or even the original Thor (2011) but still leaps and bounds better than Thor: The Dark World (2013).

This episode isn't in the Marvel worlds top 5...but not in the bottom 5 either. 


**3/4 - Must See for the Marvel devotees; otherwise rentable

Rated PG-13(language, intense action and violence and partial nudity)
 

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Young Gru attempts to join a band of super villains' after they have ousted their leader...


This was ok. It wasn't nearly as clever or unique as the original or even the other sequels but it was fun.


** Rentable

Rate PG (for action and rude humor)
