Movie Guru's Current Movie Briefs
Since I write many of these briefs the day before the movies are released, what we have here are mostly ruminations on movies I have not yet seen. You will have to decide for yourself if these briefs have any value. I believe the less you know about a movie, the better chance you might enjoy it to the upside. Too many reviewers seem to go out of their ways to ruin for you with way too much information your upcoming movie experience. In fact my D graded Master’s Thesis proposed that reviews should be embargoed until after the opening weekends allowing moviegoers to see the movies fresh and without plot summaries taken right out of the press kits.
- John Wick: Chapter 4
About 10 years ago a 96 minute long, B-action movie, starring Keanu Reeves, John Wick, revitalized Reeves career and lead to today – the release of a two hour and 49 minute extravaganza of death, John Wick Chapter 4. If ever a film was made for the big screen, and I mean XD. IMAX, DFX, Atmos, and the like, this is it. Pay the upcharge and let American Hollywood know-how assault your senses into oblivion. Survival is definitely not guaranteed.
- Everything Everywhere All at Once
Best Picture Oscar Winner 2023. Congratulations. Personal taste will determine your satisfaction quotient. And your mood also. This movie is not for everyone, but I am glad it succeeded.
- Scream VI
A big hit. But easy to avoid if you can ignore the desperate for horrible and unavoidable death crowd. These movies are as bad as completely and unavoidable pornography, the Playboy of the current generation.
- Shazam: Fury of the Gods
The previews look funny, but the box office prognosticators say no way. I think it will work quite well for its target audience of kids and families and nostalgia buffs who fondly remember the original.
- Champions
Woody Harrelson in a Bad News Bears lookalike with special kids trying to play basketball instead of baseball. Written and directed by one of the Farrelly Brothers, this may not be the young kids movie you might expect. The movie probably pushes the envelope of its PG 13 rating. But personally I cannot wait to see it with the grandkids.

Excellent actor Adam Driver in what can only be called a Jurassic Park knock off. Nothing wrong with that. You can never have too many dinosaurs. And the running time. 93 Minutes. Hallelujah! Or would you rather sit through the brutal three hours of Babylon or Tar?
- Creed 3
Oh my gosh! Kang aka Jonathan Majors takes on boyhood friend Adonis Creed in a Rocky Battle of the Century. I cannot believe how brilliant a move opening this movie right after Jonathan Majors introduction as Marvel Universe arch villain Kang in the latest recently opened Ant Man 3. And now Kang will destroy the boxing world and pulverize Creed. Only kidding. No chance of that happening. I predict this will be the best mainstream movie of the year so far unless Man Called Otto or 80 for Brady are more up your alley.
- Puss In Boots The Last Wish
Something is happening here but I don’t know what it is. Holiday movie going is a family tradition. Yet my grand kids watched strange one the Disney Thanksgiving movie on Disney+ and have no interest in puss in boots because their favorite movies are so available on their TVs which they can watch over and over again at their convenience.
