GWAR has literally had maybe 100 actual active "members" in it (including "slaves" and such), so it's not easy to show it all, but it was a fantastic doc. I even got teary-eyed in one spot. Highly recommended

He is definitely channeling his inner Spielberg/Shamylan on this and it fits his style to a t. Great cast, great dialog and title of the movie is super fitting. I like all of Peele's stuff. He has definitely had much heavier moments in his other two films. This one was a lot lighter weight in that regard. He is great at "reading the room" in his films. Whether it's popcorn stuff like this or popcorn stuff with some nassssty undertones like Get Out and Us. Just a great filmmaker. Good stuff.

A passable popcorn flick. Fun to watch Chris Evans play the morally bankrupt type for a change. He should have roles like this more often. Literally the best part of the film. The rest is a literaly Hollywood checklist of shitty action movie tropes. Little girl with a disease? Check. Reluctant badass hero buddy? Check. Dad's a lost soul? Check. Nobody developed beyond "personality trope needed?" Check.

I'd kill for a movie with characters that feel like they matter to anybody. Maybe even to themselves? While Gray Man plays with the premise to the point of even having the checkbox filling bad-dude in charge SAY they don't matter, he was so bland as a character that his words felt even more meaningless than the characters themselves.

If I had the opportunity, I'd love to have the director and writers in front of me so I could shake my head at them and say, "You can do better. Your mother and I are so disappointed."

A buddy of mine that lives in Hollywood was in the same bar as BBT. He and his group started dissecting BBT's movies. My buddy came to the conclusion that he phoned in everything after Friday Night Lights and Chrystal. He got up to pee and realized that BBT was listening to every word. So he tipped his hat to him and winked. What are ya gonna do?

Let's be honest though, the bar has always been basically at 0, including the OG (that's not to say I don't like it)
