Uncharted (2022)

Based off the Naughty Dog video game franchise starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Victor "Sully" Sullivan. Both the lead actors were excellent, but too much of Mark Wahlberg in Sully and it's hard to imagine Tom in that role. I can definitely see room for growth into their game counterpart as this is an origin movie so I forgive this aspect. The action sequences were top notch, but again, but it was toned down for what Uncharted was in the video game. The movie looks fantastic and some of the scenes are stunning. I have a love for treasure hunting/archaeological movies, so I did find great enjoyment in the story. Overall, this is an excellent adventure movie and that alone is worth price of admission, however, it does not feel like Uncharted for the most part. With that being said, you do leave feeling thoroughly entertained. As an adventure movie, 8/10. As an Uncharted movie, 6/10.

Blacklight (2022)

Blacklight is a standard action flick that doesn't do anything that is original. I left the theater feeling neither impressed nor disappointed. It tries to go into some intellectual commentary about people, but again, it's nothing that hasn't been done before. Liam Neeson's character is pretty much the only redeemable thing about the film. He isn't some super agent and does well playing a guy close to retirement. His daughter is unbearable and it feels they tried to make her the voice of reason. Every opinion she has is a bad take on the situation. Overall, there are some entertaining aspects to it, but the movie is mostly just boring. 4/10.

Jackass Forever (2022)

Jackass is disgusting, painful, graphic, and hilarious. The only question that matters, is it entertaining? You are damn right it is. I was laughing hard and cringing. Jackass delivers like Jackass does. I recommend.

Moonfall (2022)

Moonfall is much better than I thought it would be. It is essentially 2012 meets Independence Day, which is not surprising considering they are all directed by the same director. The story could have been executed better than what is was, but it was super entertaining and I felt I could overlook some of the flaws. The CGI is essentially visual porn. The main characters played by Patrick Wilson, Halle Berry and John Bradley are great as usual in their roles. Michael Pena is great as always. He is such a likable guy that it carries over for me into his roles. The rest of the cast is hit and miss. The story is intriguing and the concept is original and unique. The use of conspiracy theories always is a fun concept for me. Everyone loves good a conspiracy theory. They set up a sequel that actually makes me want to see a sequel. I recommend specifically on the entertainment value. 7.5/10.
