In "Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings", it is a pendulum swing back and forth melding the aspect of the Marvel Comics with both an Asian sensibility and a Western flair.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead has always moved to the beat of her own drum, not adhering to what anyone should think about who she is or the choices she makes. She likes bad asses, understated but also strategic.

With a film like "Mosquito State", the horror is bathed more in the metaphor of the life it is building and destroying at the same time.

Instead of creating a more grounded structure, the film realizes itself more with abstract imagery and flashbacks per se with some CG enhancements (whose indications are unclear at best).

In "The Swarm", hailing from France, there is a sense of loss and longing in the character of Valerie (played Suliane Brahim) who is growing locusts to create flour. But like anything...too much becomes overwhelming.

The story is based on the lore of anonymous writer but that basis might have indicated jealousy, greed or nepotism criticism in a certain way on the part of the writer who may have been an unreliable narrator.

"Jungle Cruise" is a fun ride but not really anything new. Its plot points can be pulled almost directly from "The Mummy" with modern inclusion standards updating (which again is understandable).

Suffice to say, "Old" has an idea of the metaphorical story it wants to tell while reflecting a real world ideal of what is for the greater good.

But for general entertainment of the action bent with a genre twist, "Blood Red Sky" does deliver but not overtly beyond its intended means.
