How to Train Your Dragon (2025)
20260512:
The movie lacks the spark and feel of the 2010 animated film, but was still solid. In different words, some of the translation to live action felt a little off. The animation of toothless was perfect.
Rating: 3.8/5
Instant Comments:
oh did that happen in the animation as well. hiccup hit the night fury that he ends up taming?
I see. while he teaches "a dragon will always go for the kill" -> Toothless did not
hehe. half of her breastplate
man. his father...
and poor Toothless even backed down at the heed of Hiccup and they didn't pay attention.
and his father didn't put 2 + 2 together to understand why the spirit woman picked Hiccup?

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
20260511:
I liked the beginning and the end of the movie. The middle segment from the party to the bridge fight wasn't as interesting as I'd hope it'd be. I suppose the movie went for that section to be dramatic and carry weight. And yet I feel that weight didn't make sense. The decisions didn't make sense. The entire scene reminded me when John Wick goes to the venue where the bad guys are and takes out all the bad guys. The main difference was that was pure action and fun to watch.

i'm thinking it's all a fake. fake signal somehow. they were able to make something that semeed like it was moving fast. now it seems like it's firing a torpedo... like what?
holy moly. plot twist. their own torpedo
oh wow. I totally didn't know. that was a good reveal.
smile. "How do you plan on getting out of here?" "Of course."
that's a great shot showing h8im run across the roof right behind them
hmm... if the lawyer is Ethan, who is this other man that stabbed this guy's hand?
down the classic fountain.
hehe somehow they switched places
hehe some comedy
I imagine it'll be interesting cause a train will come; I didn't expect her to break free
colisseum
kind of amazing that his friends are able to find him
hmm... how do you play chess when the bot you're playing chess with knows your moves
I don't understand why Grace ran, and I don't understand why Ilsa doesn't have a gun
wtf. Grace is alive?
she definitely picked the key back
hahaha. that crash in. what luck
damn. smooth.
can't they just decouple the train?
ah ok here they go
wow escaping the kitchen car is well done
oh wow this woman alive; that's good
oh no...
he's asking where. she would say submarine?

The Thursday Murder Club (2025)
20260511:
I'd say it wasn't awesome like Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery but it had some okay moments. To be fair, I was multitasking, but I feel a good story would have gotten me. So I'd say maybe a 3.4 out of 5. The characters were interesting, but I think the story was less interesting compared to other mystery movies.

tattoo on his arm; and immediately they have the police officer notice
there's a person following her... creepy
"don't wake the dead" that could have been Bobby Tanner
interesting plot twist. the guy is dead
pause at the 1 hr 14 min mark
hmm... asks about a top-off. At this scene, I'm suspecting this guy, the father of the fighter to be the prime suspect. Maybe he has a tattoo just like his son. Maybe his son doesn't want to say anything because it would implicate his father.
Huh. "Any more might be lethal." Fentanyl? But earlier they did say anybody in that area probably has access to such medication.
dang... he wants to kill himself; the camera soon pans to the drawer
