That music definitely helped to make that one of the most...well, not satisfying, exactly. More like it felt like the very natural way for the movie to end.

A ★½ review of ThanksKilling (2008)
“Ali...you’re kind of a hoe. I’m not gonna lie, you’re kind of skanky.” This film follows a group of teens that consist of the final girl Kristen (Lindsey Anderson), token slut Ali (Natasha Cordova), jock Johnny (Lance Predmore), nerd Darren (Ryan Francis), and hick Billy (Aaron Carlson)...

No, I'm still not sure why I had this on my list of potential reviews.
Interestingly, Heat is a remake. The same person or persons behind it tried making the exact same film some years earlier, with less talent, time and money, and it was rather forgettable.
A ★★★★★ review of Heat (1995)
“I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.” This film follows two groups of people. On one side, you have a group of robbers led by Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), consisting of Gilbert Trejo (Danny Trejo), Chris Sherhilis (Val Kilmer), Nate (Jon...
It’s a tragic ending, but you get an emotional catharsis from it because McCauley doesn’t die alone even though the man with him in his last moments is Hanna; his ostensible enemy. But they get each other, choice of money making ventures aside, both men see experiences and the understanding those experiences bred in each other. Having the girl be by McCauley’s side would have not have had the same effect.

Harmony Korine making an 80 minutes movie about a Miami hitman in infrared vision and AI imagery that's meant to emulate the cinematography of PS2 video game cutscenes for his company "EDGLRD Productions."
I'm done sanctioning this mans buffoonery. Just play Hotline Miami instead.

Sort of: it was called LA Takedown, and I think it was actually a pilot for a TV show.
A ★★½ review of Captain Marvel (2019)
“You knew all along. Is that why we never hung out?” “No. I just never liked you.” As some casting trivia, among the people who auditioned for the role of Carol Danvers were Rebecca Ferguson, Natalie Dormer, Katee Sackhoff, and Emily Blunt (who, incidentally, had also auditioned for Natasha...

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
I moved recently and this was the first film I've been to in the new town's cinema. And the cinema was a disappointment. Flat floor for one and the audio was closer to a big tv in a living room than a movie theater. But the movie was good. I was rolling my eyes in the beginning with Furiosa's mother, as the fashion model playing her doesn't sell the role one bit, but thankfully the child actress is fine and of course Taylor-Joy is terrific.
Anyway, the movie stands thematically in a weird sorta place, as Furiosa does hold a tangible ticket to paradise over other people of the Wasteland. Dementus can babble on as much as he likes, but Furiosa will always stay uncorruptable, because she can escape it all.

A ★★★ review of Urban Legend (1998)
“I prefer the term ‘eccentric’. But yeah, you could say I’m a little nutty.” This film follows a group of college students at Pendleton University. After a student named Michelle Mancini (Natasha Gregson Wagner) gets killed in a manner reminiscent of the "killer in the back seat" urban legend...

Jungle Cruise
Heard this film was bad, but started off ok, with the prologue and some nice stylised jungle. Then we met our main characters, and...oh, right, I get it now. They get better, though, but it's an uphill struggle. Emily Blunt,The Rock, and implied-but-not-stated gay comic relief are just really not funny, despite hitting every cliche they could find.
The CGI jungle looked nice, if not that realistic.
Also, in the end, they go back to Europe with a flower petal which has the power to cure all injuries and disease and lift all curses. I would have thought this would be a hug deal, but apparently the implications aren't worth mentioning.

A ★★★★½ review of Freaky (2020)
“You’re black, I’m gay, we are so dead!” This film follows a high schooler named Millie (Kathryn Newton). She isn't the most popular kid in school, having all of two good friends in Josh (Misha Overovich) and Nyla (Celeste O'Connor), and a couple of bullies, one of which is a teacher. She also...

“You guys are like mummy magnets!” Made 7 years after the previous movie in the trilogy, there were some changes in the cast for this film. After reading the script, Rachel Weisz declined to return to the role of Evey. Before the final recasting was made, others considered were Priyanka Chopra...

I can never even touch this movie again. I don't hate it, but at the same time, I find it boring to watch. The sequel I will not say anything about.A ★★★ review of Urban Legend (1998)

Jesus, that low? I don't like the movie either, but I can at least get some entertainment value out of it compared to Urban Legend.A ★½ review of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)

I can see that with Urban Legend. As for Mummy 3, I just found nothing to grab onto, especially compared to the first two movies. Couldn't really watch it for Brendan Fraser, because he was almost phoning it in, couldn't watch it for his chemistry with Rachel Weisz because she wasn't there, couldn't watch it for the villain because he was just boring...
I have to agree. Mummy 3 is one of those movies thats fine on paper, but somehow ends up being really dull. I keep thinking I enjoyed..parts, but I couldn't tell you anything about it despite watching it twice over the years. Perhaps you could point to the fact that its not the original team, but it was written by the spider-man 2 team.That said its directed by the original Fast & Furious who doesn't have any winners outside of maybe that and Dragonheart.
Mummy 3 is one of those unfortunate films that both never stood out for anything specific and wasn't entertaining enough to get by as fine. Like given the choice Id probably rather just go work on the yard.

A ½ review of ThanksKilling 3 (2012)
“Welcome back. You’re now entering TurkeyVision, where everyone without a mind is welcome.” The plot of this film follows Turkie (Jordan Downey) as he attempts to find the last surviving copy of Thankskilling 2 in order to spread his curse. At the same time, a puppet named Nomi (Jordan Downey)...
