I've been anxiously awaiting anything that would compel me to actually go to a theatre for several years now.

Meantime, whatever the next thing Jason Statham does that gets to streaming will do.

While I suffered through 30 minutes of trailers in the Cinema last week, a few things did appeal.

Elden Ring. Has some promise.
The Death of Robin Hood. Something different, good cast.
Disclosure Day. Getting a lot of press, Spielberg returns to aliens.
Avengers Doomsday. Zoo will cringe, but I'll definitely watch it.
Dune 3. Obviously
Hunger Games: Sunrise on Reaping. Streaming for me
The Odyssey. Obviously
Project Hail Mary. SciFi and not a sequel
Supergirl. She seems cool. Interested to see what they do.

A24 has a horror movie and some other things like Enemies that could be good.

Being a movie person looking forward to Doomsday is like being a food person looking for to McRib

Forgot about Project Hail Mary good one.

Disclosure Day may get me to a theater. Possibly even The Odyssey.

Ones I'll definitely stream:
Michael
The Rip
Primate
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
How To Make a Killing
The Bride
Project Hail Mary
Cut Off (know nada about it, but the cast seems fun)
and of course Shelter and Mutiny, Statham's 2026 entries.

I’m hoping Disclosure Day is the next great Spielberg picture. He really knows how to tap into the Zeitgeist.

The print version of “Project Hail Mary” was exceptional. Give it a read if you are into sci-fi. From what I have seen in the trailer, they are going to be pretty faithful to the source material.

I watched Natural Born Killers (1994) last night. Directed by Oliver Stone, supposedly written (at least in part) by Tarantino. It was interesting. A statement on media sensationalizing violence but made before the internet existed. It is definitely not for everyone but I have pretty weird movie tastes and I enjoyed it.

The Eagle Has Landed. Great cast, Michael Caine is great as a German paratroop colonel, Robert Duvall another colonel given the task to plan a mission to kidnap Churchill. Donald Pleasance is an excellent Himmler. Donald Sutherland is an Irishman in Germany tasked with aiding the mission as his way of screwing England. Jenny Agutter is an idiotic cute English girl who falls for Sutherland (in two days). This is a mixed bag. Everything aside from the Jenny Agutter love interest (which has awful dialogue and no basis in the plot) is very good. Great dialogue from Duvall in particular. Treat Williams and Larry Hagman are US Rangers stationed in England.

The Life of Chuck (2024)

I really liked this movie. It was one part metaphysics, and one part the life story of an ordinary man. Interestingly, "Chuck" doesn't appear, live, until 35 minutes into this movie. The story is by Stephen King, and it combines the suspenseful elements of that group of hogs stories with the warm elements for movies like Stand by Me. It's quirky well worth watching.

I watched Natural Born Killers (1994) last night. Directed by Oliver Stone, supposedly written (at least in part) by Tarantino. It was interesting. A statement on media sensationalizing violence but made before the internet existed. It is definitely not for everyone but I have pretty weird movie tastes and I enjoyed it.

The way Stone plays with narrative in this film is really interesting. He moves seamlessly from drama, to sit-com, to cartoon (and more) and keeps the story thread alive. The editing is brilliant. He eventually settles on the Geraldo thing for the last third of the film, which was disappointing even if you like Robert Downey Jr. It is the rare film where the story telling is more important than the story.

I saw the ultra-violence as spice for the stew rather than any real statement about society. It's more of a statement about movies.

Roofman (2025)

Channing Tatum has grown on me. Very likeable, and great actor.

Here, based on a true story, a prison escapee starts a new life. Kirsten Dunst costars.

A comedy, it really is a good movie on a cold night. Or a warm one.

Peter Dinklage plays a great dooshbagg Toys Are Us store manager.
