Alright so it’s June, here’s every new release from May I watched. It’s a lot less than April, not really a ton I was interested in seeing. May was also not a very strong month, especially after how strong April was,
5. White Men Can’t Jump- I like the original a lot, it’s got that cheesy 90s charm. This remake didn’t need to happen, nor did it capture that cheese or camp. Probably the most direct to Hulu movie I can imagine.
4. Fast X- This franchise has gone on 10 movies too long but they keep dragging me back for the pure ridiculousness that comes from it. Unfortunately, the issue here is this one didn’t up the ante like the other ones so it just kinda fell flat. Also, why the hell is this gonna be 3 movies to tell the end?
3. The Little Mermaid- I love the original film and I’m pretty anti-live action remake, but I can’t lie, this one was pretty inoffensive. Halle Bailey was perfect as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy shocked me with how much I liked her as Ursula, and the rest of it was all around alright. I can’t say it justified its existence, but we live under capitalism so this is the schlock we get fed, at least it tastes alright. Awkwafina absolutely needs to stop being cast in things though…
2. Blood and Gold- I didn’t expect much from this but it’s a decent action adventure, though the idea of following a German deserter in the 1940s maybe isn’t the lead I want to follow. Movie was alright, but the only reason it’s so high is the rest of the movies are just not good or meh at best.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3- When I tell you this movie struck a chord with me, I mean it. This movie has quickly taken a top 3 spot in my absolute favorites of all time, and while I do understand why not everyone adores it like I do, this one means so much to me. I’ve seen it 4 times already, and while I don’t do physical media anymore, I fully plan on picking this up in 4k just to have it. Absolutely adored this movie.
With that, June begins! I’m sitting in the theater right now waiting for Across the Spiderverse to start
