Somewhere between Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Movie, Garfield lost his mojo. What used to be sharp, effortless attitude has become a generic animated performance wearing Garfield’s skin.

Two “inspirational” sports biopics, same problem: they don’t trust the truth. Notorious Nick invents drama, skips inconvenient facts, and leans on rough CGI that breaks immersion. Triumph reduces a complex condition to clichés and throws logic out the window for feel-good moments that don’t land.

Both Muzzle and Rescued by Ruby suffer from a disconnect between their goals and their narrative execution. Ultimately, these films reveal more about the neuroses of their human creators than the reality of the canine partners they ostensibly celebrate.

Two movies, one actor—only one makes sense. A Murder of Crows tries to be clever and ends up collapsing under its own nonsense. The Hit List? Messy, sure—but at least it commits. Sometimes the “dumber” movie is the smarter one.

Skatetown USA is a film with an identity crisis. There are 3 acts that, stitched together, which forms an incohesive 1979 film about disco, skating rinks, & some outsider vs city punk plot. The most impressive part was watching the skill of the skate choreography. The rollerskating showcased super seeds anything that resembles a plot that fills in the gaps between the music videos and skill. Who was this film for? The nerdy, high level, roller skater who likes the film Grease.

Two “Bermuda Triangle” movies. Zero logic. Bermuda Island and Jurassic Triangle are what happens when chaos replaces storytelling. Meanwhile, real-life disasters like SS El Faro prove you don’t need monsters—just bad decisions.

From the tourist-myth balcony in Love in the Villa to the €1 fixer-upper fantasy in La Dolce Villa, and the metaphor-heavy renovation in Made in Italy, these films prove one thing: in movies, emotional problems can apparently be solved with Tuscan sunshine, a crumbling house, and a bottle of wine.
