  Fast X 2023

  ★★★ Watched 24 Sep 2023

  A bloated tour through the series' greatest hits with Jason Mamoa as the gleefully demented master of ceremonies. Bloats the winning formula of meathead sincerity and over the top action into an indiscernible mess of cameos and setups for future installments. Family first this is not. If you aren't already fast pilled, this is going to seem like straight up corporate sludge.

  Saw II 2005

  ★★★½ Rewatched 23 Sep 2023

  Lacks the focus and dynamism that made the og so special. Most of this movie hinges on Tobin Bell and Donnie Wahlberg going head to head ala Silence of The Lambs, but the latter Funky Bunch contributor fails miserably at pulling off whatever beleaguered cop persona he's cobbled together while Bell races circles around him in a wheelchair. A classic sleepy baby vs evil mastermind type of situation, with the real power of the film coming from the brief asides…

  It's so weird seeing Charlie Cox making eye contact with people.

  This may surprise you Jodie Foster, but a hip and happening teen like me does watch vintage films like The Breakfast Gang.
