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.

  • Michael/Melania

    I believe that unbiased viewings of each of these films would find them both as interesting as they are entertaining. However Melania, the First Lady documentary, and Michael the pop singer musical/drama, are weighed down by ferocious likes and dislikes before potential customers have even seen the films. As much as the Michael filmmakers deserve credit for mixing the scintillating musical scenes with the horror of young Michael receiving undeserved beatings from his father, those who believe Michael Jackson’s known public life disqualifies him from having anything positive written about him are missing an incredible performance by his nephew Jaafar Jackson. And if you are a Never Trumper, you take it out on Mrs. Trump as a way of getting back at the President.
    Bottom line. If you can ignore the prejudice against and for either of these movies, you might find enough to like about them while at the same time opening your mind up to ingrained opinions that destroy the ability to enjoy the two films.

  • Eraserheads: Combo on the Run

    A documentary using archival footage and interviews following the  2022 reunion of a Filipino rock group that broke up and reunited despite the scars left by their past history.

  • I Swear

    The poster is covered in so many superlatives written by so many top line critics that I feel obligated to say “go see this movie.”  This is the unembellished true story of a Scotsman with Tourette’s Syndrome who travels the UK educating the populace about why they are wrong when they make fun of those with the disease.

  • Fuze

    Another movie that comes out of nowhere but shows the makings of an above average action film.  Something about a bomb in the middle of London, emergency evacuations of the city, and a big time heist.  

  • Desert Warrior

    I sat down to watch Normal and was overwhelmed by a preview with immense desert landscapes that made me think I was watching the latest trailer for Dune 3.  But nope.  This is an historical Middle Eastern epic that looks to have cost lots of money.  Though I don’t recognize anyone in it, if it is a good movie, who cares.

  • Busboys

    David Spade leads in what looks like an imitation Dumb and Dumber.  It may be funny, and it may be the latest addition to the unfunny comedy graveyard.

  • A Little Something Extra

    Don’t be afraid.  This is a French subtitled film that is making its way to American theaters without known stars or a renowned director.  I would still recommend taking a chance and attending this movie.

  • Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

    If you enjoyed the original Mummy starring Brendan Fraser this horror reboot is probably going to be a big disappointment.  Consider waiting for Fraser’s 2028 return to the series.   

  • Normal

    Bob Odenkirk, better known for Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, has lately been making a name for himself as a John Wick kick ass action hero.  He has already proved he is capable in Nobody and Nobody 2.

  • Beast

    There is a 2022 Beast that I never watched but this Beast is not the same.  I have not seen any previews and am not checking them out on the internet, but the movie features a retired MMA fighter coming back for what may turn out to contain a revenge motive.  Hopefully it will turn out to be an MMA Rocky story.

  • You Me & Tuscany

    I hate to blow this rom/com off when I was so wrong about Solo Mio.  That was a wonderful movie.  The previews for this one look palatable, and I can only hope it hits a single compared to Solo Mio’s home run.

  • The Killer

    What they are calling “A Hong Kong Cinema Classic,” this 1989 John Woo exhilarating action flick is a must see.  Look up John Woo who directed both Hong Kong and American films that are head and shoulders above today’s movies.  The Killer is his best.

  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

    The kids are coming!  The kids are coming!  Bring your wallets.  Incredibly expensive souvenirs and toys selling out as we speak.  Have a great time.

  • A Great Awakening

    A faith based American Independence historical feature that reveals a preacher’s influence on and friendship with Ben Franklin and the resulting success of our journey to America today. Probably should have come out closer to July 4 but I will check it out anyway.

  • The Drama

    Robert Pattison and Zendaya are off beat lovers having problems before their wedding.  Looks like a winner for fans of the two but the pairing does nothing for me.

  • Ready or Not 2 Here I Come

    Another sick trailer tries to capture its audience by previewing snippets of sadism that like pornography warps young brains and destroys their futures.  I cannot even think of the world of tomorrow without feeling sorry for each succeeding generation drowning at light speed from unending futuristic enhancements in the creations of outrageous depravity which will bring humanity down into the sewers of Hell.

  • Project Hail Mary

    Ryan Gosling, it seems is a fish out of water who is chosen to save the world.  I always like Gosling in movies and look forward to this one.  It seems to be an intelligent space odessey based on a book by the author of The Martian, another out of space movie with a pleasing Matt Damon.

  • Ready or Not 2 Here I Come

    Horror slasher movie releases are out of control.  Low budgets and audience sick needs are more than I can handle.  I never checked out the original and have been overwhelmed by the previews for this sequel.  I understand the drawer of this one, but wish it wasn’t so.

  • Hoppers

    Ever since returning home from Goat several weeks ago, the younger grandkids have been crying out to see Hopper, Pixar’s latest film.  Now that it is opening this weekend, I am ready.  Of course, if the older kids decide to go, I will need to get a second job to pay for the concessions.  If the movie is good enough, which I am certain it is, then will be worth the cost even including the collectibles which are always on sale nowadays.   An update.  I was wrong about it being a sure thing for the kids.  Young girls loved it.  Young boys played with their phones.

  • Marty Supreme

    Written By Michael Harris
    Heroes are just villains who have their story told from their perspective. Marty Supreme offers the question of what it would be like if the protagonist does not participate in a fulfilling arch. What does it mean when someone sacrifices everything for an ending far from perfect? There is more to this movie than just table tennis. This film has consistent drama, painful events, and high stakes. However, because its goal was to be tense and chaotic, it was ugly and hard to watch. Its purpose is to show the lengths to which people go to chase their dreams and if their decisions are worth it. It definitely does not fulfill the role of being a feel-good sports movie in time for the holiday. I would recommend skipping this one, especially for families.

  • Anaconda

    Jack Black and Paul Rudd in what looks like a slapstick comedy which hopefully has not given away all the laughs in the previews.  The previews were hysterical if you understand Jack Black and Paul Rudd.  If not and you get drug along by friends or family, the movie is only 96 minutes long so just deal with it.  

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash

    Written by Michael Harris
    Success has consequences. When a franchise grows, its freedom shrinks. Avatar: Fire and Ash has the defining characteristics of all of the other films in the series: emotional appeals, anti-imperalist themes, impressive visuals, and consistent action. Avatar movies are made for 3D viewing. Therefore, viewers who normally may not understand the purpose of this format may enjoy watching this film in 3D, due to its focus on immersion. However, the movie prioritizes making fans content and loses the sense of originality present in the first Avatar. The movie’s format bases itself on causation from previous establishments within the franchise, which makes it unenjoyable to newcomers to the series and decentralized. Too many plot lines become established, which prevents any real growth from being noticed in the characters. Still, Avatar: Fire and Ash’s serves as an agreeable and enjoyable film, making it a worthwhile watch for those wanting to see the next big budget movie.

  • Wicked For Good

    Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific is a classic American musical.  The song Bali Hai is as good as it gets.  If you are a musical aficionado and have not seen South Pacific, you are in for a treat.  I have no opinion about Wicked and Wicked: For Good.  In order to create a successful Broadway musical today, it is as much about the special effects as the actual music.  I cannot criticize the Wicked duo when they are so beloved by fans of all types and ages.  So be it,  Enjoy the movies and ignore critics altogether.

  • Anemone

    What is an anemone?  Actually I sort of know but wonder why it would be the title of this movie.  Are they trying to bury it before anyone gets the chance to see it/  Consummate artist Daniel Day Lewis returns to acting after eight years in retirement.  Of course we who know his iconic performances beginning with My Left Foot will be first in line.  But a quick warning.  The film is written and directed by his son, a good enough reason for the Dad to return to the screen but maybe not a sign that this will be a movie deserving of great praise.

  • One Battle After Another

    Leonardo DiCaprio with Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn, directed by auteur Paul Thomas Anderson (look him up).  Recently released Caught Stealing was a failed auteur madcap action film.  One Battle After Another looks great for those us who want to see a successful auteur madcap action film.  This could be the one.

  • Superman

    Written By Michael Harris
    It feels like DC films have constantly been testing the waters lately. Due to the company’s many box office flops in recent years, DC decided that it would be in their best interests to reboot the franchise under James Gunn and Peter Safran. Superman plays it safe and uses what they know will work. With high stakes, honorable characters, and incredible graphics, the viewer is compelled to be invested in the story and its characters. However, the would-be dramatic scenes are undercut by the feeling that they were specifically made for the trailers, the main characters are seemingly one-dimensional even among moral dilemmas, and many subplots feel like they were cut. Still, Superman (2025) has a sort of originality that impresses me, even though its characters have been reused for decades. Overall, Superman is definitely a worthwhile watch for new and old fans alike as DC starts its new chapter.

  • F1

    Written by Michael Harris
    F1 does not recreate the wheel but refines it. It takes the successful pieces of other franchises and joins them together in order to appeal to a wide audience. The protagonist, Sunny Hayes (Brad Pitt), fills a John Wick archetype, where his growth to become the best at what he does is not shown, but left to imagination in the form of a legacy. Because the film was by the director of Top Gun Maverick, it was given the technical tools to make it appear accurate to real life Formula 1 racing. However, the movie still feels unrealistic due to its downplaying of the dangers of racing and a predictable story. Filled with unnecessary subplots and a long two and a half hour run time, F1 loses most of its emotional impact, but is still an overall good action movie that is worth watching.

  • Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning

    Tom Cruise is a brute.   In his Mission Impossible movies his stunt work really is impossible.  The movies themselves have deteriorated over time, but the action is young Jackie Chan but with millions of dollars in preparation and invention backing up every death defying moment.  This “final” impossible and the one before ir are more than I can handle though I am sure I will leave the theater in awe of an old man astounding us all.

  • The Surfer

    Another Nick Cage movie comes out of nowhere.  And I am glad.  Cage continues to step up to the plate and hit homers in movie after movie surrounded by young filmmakers all putting forth maximum efforts creating low budget genre hybrids.  I could tell you a little bit about this movie but, as always, the less you know the better.
