WHAT I WATCHED THIS WEEK
Guest Writer: Marmaduke Karlston
The Mummy (2017) – I’ve owned this film since it came out on Blu-ray, but never watched it until now. I like Tom Cruise, but this was a rough watch. Pretty boring. I kept thinking, “Imagine if, instead of Cruise, this was the fourth film in the Brendan Fraser series.” Seriously, where’s the fourth Fraser-led Mummy movie, Universal? 2.5/5
Run All Night (2015) – Another film I’ve owned since it first hit home video, but never got around to watching. I think I watched A Walk Among the Tombstones around that time and was so bored by it that I put off watching another blind Liam Neeson buy. Which is a shame because I loved this film. So good. Probably one of my favorite Neeson action flicks now. 4.5/5
The Flash (2023) – It’s not a perfect film, but it is a fun one. Ezra Miller is phenomenal as the Scarlet Speedster. The last three DC Extended Universe films really felt like Warner Bros. had finally gotten the universe in order. We were getting crossovers. Henry Cavill was back as Superman. And now James Gunn is going to do a soft reboot just so he can make the Superman movie he wants? Boo! I know a lot of people aren’t liking this film, but I enjoyed it. The CGI is laughably bad, but the performances are top notch. 4/5
