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.
AGGRO DR1FT (2024)
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.
