The approach is closing up a trilogy per se is all about context, where the story is, how it pertains to the rest of the story and how people will remember it. . There are some beautiful moments here which make one think of the best elements of the original. There are also bigger themes but this is a bigger world now.

With the new remake of "Firestarter", there is potential and a necessary possibility of doing it in the more low budget Blumhouse tradition. But the reality is that the pull of the story never feels wrenching and particularly well-executed

The essence of practical but lower budget thriller fare is sometimes few and far between especially with established actors not phoning it in. With "Black Site", Michelle Monaghan gets to play her bad ass self without sacrificing some deeper drama.

"The Northman" revolves in a texture of revenge but also of perception. Alexander Skarsgard stars as Amleth, the son of a Nordic king that is dealt a trauma as a child that informs his entire life even as he struggles to deal with the notion of his existence.

The trajectory of a Michael Bay movie is an interesting amalgamation of the man and his work ethic. "Ambulance" is Bay lean and mean but would be a career highlight for any other person. The substance isn't overt but the attitude and the energy are non-stop.

There is a lot going on in "Everything Everywhere All At Once". And while some of it straddles the boundaries of storytelling and points of reference, it is a borderline brilliant film.

In "Sonic The Hedgehog 2" all bets are off in a way but it is a much easier build. The trailer did a smart thing in almost doing a misdirect. Because as far as where the sequel is going. It doesn't waste any time at all.

The intention of a super hero versus a super villain comes down to motivation and the aspect of path. "Morbius" seems very aware of this and that is where the would-be balance would lie. The interesting element is trying to see what film each character is playing.

The influx of a romantic comedy is playing to irony and perhaps playing issue to that which came before it. "The Lost City" has its moments and knows what it is doing because of its star Sandra Bullock. Even though we haven't seen her as much onscreen lately in this type of movie, the comedienne extraordinaire has not lost her touch.
