Power of the Dog 2021
I was out on this movie for about 98% of the time, but that other 2% really packed a punch.

The Batman 2022
Pattinson’s Batman is the best of the newer generation but probably not in the best movie.

Mad Max: Fury Road 'Black and Chrome' 2016
After spending days worth of Blood, Sweat and Chrome, this film's mileage may vary.

Top Gun: Maverick 2022
Kinda choppy, recycled exhibition that didn’t matter because they nailed the opening.

Dragged Across Concrete 2018
I can’t excuse changing a Tahoe to a Durango back to a Tahoe. I’m sure they explain it in the DVD extras.

Prey 2022
25 m____r f_____n’ years.
25 m____r f_____n’ years it took to make a worthy successor to an iconic franchise.
It may as well be December twenty-five, cause this is the present I’ve been asking for.

Hmm.. ok I'll watch it, only because you seem to like it and Trachtenberg also did 10 Cloverfield Lane + episodes for The Boys and Black Mirror.

It’s a tight little thrill ride. Perfect? No. But it goes a long way in restoring this franchise.

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
What if I told you, the book was better. Or so I was told.
Sidenote: Being a North Carolinian and accustomed to the level of humidity and insect activity, I get
when I see coifed hair and clear, bare legs in the wetlands.

My initial impression was that it was a blend of a typical Hallmark movie drama and The Notebook, even opening with a similar piano theme, if memory serves. The story itself is well and good, but the editing really dulls the experience. Could have been tighter. Could have better acting, slightly, and could have edited 20 minutes or so out. Garret Dillahunt was a nice bonus, but didn't carry screen time very long in.
Not a bad movie and actually a decent story, but it was a bit generic for the buzz that I was picking up on.

According to my friend, there are details hinted at in the movie, that are fleshed out in the book. Real big one, the bus trip. Seems like the movie is winking at the book readers, like you really know what happened.
