keeping up with watching every Jack Quaid movie this year I just watched Neighborhood Watch and it has strong early 2010s vibes, I feel like that doesn't really make much sense but it reminds me of the movie Holy Rollers for some reason. anyway it was a decent, quick watch. the humor is a little out of place with serious subject matter but it's fine. not really something to recommend but it wasn't bad. looking forward to Heads of State!

My Hero Academia: You're Next - The last of the MHA movies before the end of the series and it was okay, all three of them have just been okay, having moments of good stuff happening, a cool finale, and that's what you usually expect for most anime movies for tv shows.  I thought I was kinda lost on the timeline placement, along with kinda being lost on certain characters around, but realized it was just me forgetting the story of the past season of the show lol

A lot of it feels very re-used to me, because there's a character with quirk booster quirk, so like Erie, who is being abused by a crime family for her ability, like Erie.  There's a guy pretending to be a new version of All Might, earning the name "Dark Might" and it's kinda just like a lazy version of Goku Black in a way, though I mean the idea of an "evil version of the hero" is a very standard trop...It's not the best setup, though I thought Dark Mights abilities, sorta how he faked being All Might, was kinda cool.  His goons were just complete nobodies, which kinda sucks, because you want more of the new cast to stand out to help this new plot, but it's just Dark Might, the quirk booster girl, and her servant who is trying to help her and that's it for the new cast that matters.

Overall if you are fan, it's a decent enough watch for what it is, a little bit of extra fun before the final season happens.

Heretic - Hugh Grant is incredible in this, but it's also too long and way too overwrought with pretty underwhelming ending.

National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 - This cast is ludicrous.  Shatner and Curry know exactly what movie they are in, and Kathy Ireland is shockingly good.  Emilio's fine, but when his brother shows up, even for just a cameo, you kinda wish he was the lead instead.  It's not quite as good as Hot Shots, but it's close.

Hour of the Gun - I've always thought the weakest part of Tombstone is the last act, and lucky me, this is basically a whole movie about that last 30 minutes!  All about the legal ramifications of the gunfights and goes even further into the lengths Wyatt went to in order to get revenge.  Very cool stuff! Tombstone cribbed a ton from this one, too.

Captain America: Brave New World - It's not that bad.  It's aping The Winter Soldier, but without really understanding what makes that movie so good. It has a total lack of identity and style, but considering all the behind the scenes drama, it came out about as good as can be expected.  Marketing did it a huge disservice in revealing Red Hulk, as you basically know going in what the big bad's plan is.  As a major plus, Carl Lumby is legitimately great.

Thunderbolts - Surprised by how good this is.  Great action, good performances (Florence Pugh is a GOAT), real themes, and humor that is derived from the characters and not just from a quip generator.  It's Guardians of the Galaxy with broken human mercenaries instead of broken alien weirdos.

Armour of God - Doofy road trip comedy stuff doesn't really work and outstays it's welcome, but it's still got that sweet Jackie Chan action.
