The auspice of "The Naked Gun" is that it has to be done in a certain way. Many people have tried over the years to bring it back to life. Liam Neeson is now the right age, temperament and career standing to be able to take risks and play with his image. Like Leslie Nielsen that is the reason it mostly works.

The idea of togetherness in the modern world is an interesting conundrum especially with more single people of all genders into their mid-40s. It might be a bank of individualism. It might be the continuing element of egocentric society (though that might just be cell phone and social media related). "Together," a new body horror/psychological thriller of sorts starring real life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco tests this in many ways.

Looking at the concept of "The Fantastic Four." the crux is the aspect of teamwork. A collection of close knit almost family (and pretty much family) is what binds them. Even in the previous iteration (with Jessica Alba and Chris Evans), the team itself tries to be wholesome...though this new version takes it a little farther.

The aspect of Superman is how does one approach to make it specific for a new generation. Like James Bond, every iteration is its own beast fueled by those making it. As the first progression from James Gunn as DC Studios, his “Superman” wants to be edgy but it feels almost too saccharine while pretending to be edgy.

The approach to rebooting a successful franchise comes down to perspective but also it is about keeping it from going off the rails. The saving grace of "Jurassic Park: Rebirth" is the balance between writer David Koepp (who wrote the screenplay for the first "Jurassic Park" as well as "The Lost World") and director Gareth Edwards who knows a thing or two about restoring franchises.

The conceit of "28 Years Later" is a concept of how life has changed against the backdrop of the rage and the ideas at play. It is split into two parts. The crux of the film is Spike who is the eyes through which the new generation will see this quarantined world.

The intention of "Elio" is a good one and there are many factors at play and yet at times there is disconnection. The movie is undeniably inspired by early 80s genre movies. There are exceptional homages (although subtle) to "The Last Starfighter", "Explorers" and "E.T." The issue is that it only keys into those kind of emotions in two specific moments near the end. Granted it sounds like the film went through series of development reworkings but the approach is not ineffective. It seems more akin in style to something like "Onward".

The essence of action is seeing with the eyes of your protagonist. "Ballerina" does very well in this regards though it does require a little bit of set up to get the idea going. The structure works in this way because you can't simply drop Ana de Armas into killing mode without showing in some basic way, shape and form how she got there.

The difficulty with ending something is trying to find the right tone and context to make it work. With "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning," it is a little tricky because it is not like Tom Cruise really wants to end this franchise...but he is a businessman at heart…and these movies have to perform because of the elements involved.
