Wasn't as high on Wind River as many in here. I thought it was decent but 7.6 seems way too high.

Red Sparrow 6/8
This is nothing like what a Black Widow movie would be. AT ALL. Not an action espionage thriller.
This was an emotional and psychological espionage thriller. Closely examines some of what it takes to be this type of spy. Manipulating with sex and charm. Seduction (in more ways than one) and lies. Its pretty dark.
I enjoyed it thoroughly for what it was. 3rd act definitely pays off and I really liked the the initial reveal and then the very last twist and the overall message embedded in the story given the circumstances of the main character.
Visually, it was very good given the settings.
My only complaints is they kinda glossed over her training. She got took out but she seemed well versed in things they did not show. Also a little bit of the movie in the middle dragged.
I await others to see it to discuss.
Now I'm gonna watch Death Wish to see how they butcher it. I assume Willis will sleepwalk through it.
I already got problems with this set in Chicago and unlike the Punisher its a white guy basically gunning down minorities.
Cool to see the Detective Gorem/Kingpin in a lighter role though.

Death Wish 5.5/8
Better than I expected but maybe that's cuz I didn't expect much.
Did not have the grittyness of the OG or the psychological trauma but it was okay. Looked way too clean but it ain't the 90s so I guess the Chi is cleaned up.
They quickly made it so he was only killing white criminals.
Some real gruesome murderers for the perpetrators in this. QT goresque at times.
Think I might peak my head in to BP

Too high, I'll admit. My number was upped because I was so surprised a random movie was actually decent for once. It's in the A-/B+ territory for me though for sure. So 7.2/8 is more accurate.

on the last ep of altered carbon aka syfy x playboy collab.
man oh man the dialogue is terrible. not sure if i'd watch a second season. it was an ok time killer at work except the amount of nudity could have gotten me in trouble
watched jumanji. that was another ok time killer but i wouldn't have wanted to pay for a movie ticket.

We need a repost of the /8 break down... 5.5 for a movie sitting at 12% on rotten has me confused. I almost never agree with the critics but that's a huge jump. Still going to check Death Wish and Red Sparrow out in the coming days.Death Wish 5.5/8

I expected it to be trash. Roth and Willis be damned.
For me its a movie you can keep on in the background and enjoy some of the ridiculous murders. Its very straightforward. Nothing special.
Perhaps some time away from the movie the rating in my eyes will lower.

I'm not even mad at that score. The movie was pretty good IMHO.
I would give it a B, but if anyone wants to give it something higher, I wouldn't be mad.
Pleasantly entertained compared to this big budget movies with high RT ratings ..

I've never seen anything that Michael Mosley is in.
He's nice with it though that's for sure.

Dope 7/8
Damn this was good. Shouldn't have taken so long to see it.
Rick did his thing on this. Funny real feel good movie.
Don't get a lot of movies of this quality and topics like we use to.
Whole damn cast was great.
