#FF25

#FF25 Mickey 17 is a mixed bag.

There are moments of comedy and action that work, but mostly it's weird for weird's sake. It drags on significantly, long after it has nothing left to say.

Meh.

#FF25 The Last Showgirl is a look at a world that's being left behind, and the people being left behind.

Anderson is well cast - embodying a somewhat naive performer who can't let go of the past. The plot struggles in the back half, having said what it needed to already.

Decent

#FF25 The Monkey is some over the top, gory fun.

The premise (an evil toy monkey haunting a family) is tongue in cheek, and the gore is wildly over the top. Go in expecting a ridiculous horror that verges on comedy and you won't be disappointed.

Good.

#FF25 The Gorge is some silly nonsense.

The chemistry between Teller/Taylor-Joy doesn't work, and the entire story is propped up on that. The rest feels like it was a plot generated by an AI - it's that level of ridiculous.

Skip.

#FF25 Captain America: Brave New World is a pretty tired take on the Marvel formula.

It's nice to see Mackie take on the lead, and for certain threads to come back, but there's nothing particularly new here and a serious lack of interesting action.

Meh.
