CARRY-ON




PRAISE: This was definitely Die Hard 2 lite as an airport security agent is put into frantic mode by a mysterious man trying to get a lethal device on a plane.
Jason Bateman sounds and looks like he's having the most fun as he manipulates various strings to control a very believable Taron Egerton as a TSA Agent named Ethan Kopek. Writer T.J Fixman infuses all of the aggravation and obnoxious vibes of traveling for the holidays and definitely adds some humor around the edges. Back to Egerton i actually felt bad for his character Kopek as he is forced to do things he doesn't want to that effects him personally, especially with his girlfriend Nora Parisi portrayed by the lovely Sofia Carson. The action sequences are good but there is one standout sequence that is so much fun i wish all of them had been styled in the same way. I was suspicious of so many characters in this movie and I liked that I was thrown off a bit. Also there was a stand out death scene i really liked.

PROBLEMS: I think this was the first time the way a character was dressed lead to an ultra predictable turn. Throw in a couple of on the nose predictable outcomes and to convenient moments. I wish the movie had maintained the ultra dark vibe it started with.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½

Co-sign...this was a decent, predictable popcorn, action-flick...reminded me of a combination of "Die Hard", and "Phone Booth"

Any word on if he squandered his comedic fortune on heaux & blow?
Probably that and living a lavished lifestyle.

Speaking to the Associated Press at the London premiere of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" on Tuesday, Carrey said, "I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And I just, I bought a lot of stuff, and I need the money, frankly."

Sounds like he was probably living the past 20 - 25 years like he was still collecting those 90s paychecks from Ace Ventura and The Mask when he was box office gold, lol.

Anora






PRAISE : Mikey Madison’s joins the list of actresses including Natasha Lyonne and Jennifer Lawrence who have given great standout performances in independent films.
The film worked for me not only because it took me on a crazy odyssey filled with believable characters, it's love letter to parts of Brooklyn but the main reason it's the sincerity of the title character Anora.
She's a stripper who does the stripper hustle to a T. She meets the running from responsibility ,extravagant spending Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn) and there's seemingly a romantic connection but among other things Vanya is not as free as he seems. The movie definitely rests on the more than capable shoulders of Madison over and over again. Her performance wasn't a revelation to me because I watched her for years on FX's
Better Things but she's definitely outstanding in her portrayal of Anora. I believed in what she wanted, needed and believed in right to the end. Pretty Woman comparisons can be made but Anora is its own thing especially when it comes to transactional trysts possibly becoming more and the raw hard truths about people and life. I spoke of the other performances and Eydelshteyn made me think of people ive crossed paths with that had the same im here to party personality. As Vanya’s Armenian handler Toros ,Karren Karagulian, is great as he airs his frustrations with Vanya and the world. As the henchmen, Garnick (Vache Tovmasyan) and Igor (Yura Borisov) they do well as they lean into physical comedy and a caring vibe is definitely put out by the latter.Writer and Director Sean Baker has shaped an interesting,heartfelt drama with humor around it's edges.
One of the best movies of 2024

PROBLEMS: A couple of minor things.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 10+

Dis-gusting. Renee Z's crusty ass? She was never hot to begin with and they forever keep giving her these movies where men who are out of her league are interested in and sometimes fighting over her.
Pure average white bitch fantasy. She's a sub-par actress and she's sub-par looking.
I guess she's got those Hollyweird connects, tho.

She needs to take notes from Sydney Sweenie, she didn't get hired for her mind or acting abilities. The internet already hates Lively so this should be interesting.
