Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
My quick rating - 7.0/10. Wait on 4K or not, that is my question. The answer was I got impatient and just checked out what I had (1080p). Streaming on Disney+ only TODAY. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) #action #IMDB #Plex

The Raid: Redemption (2011)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. (That was from when I watched this in Indonesian with subtitles. I now have a dubbed & uncut version that is eye-friendly, so I'll see if it changes). The story is quite simple. A corrupt police force is sent in to bust a paranoid crime lord's 30-story drug haven. I would love to say I noticed the differences in this uncut version, but I did watch it the first time about a decade ago, so there wasn't anything that jumped out at me. However, that didn

Detective Knight: Independence (2023)
My quick rating - 3.7/10. Final flick in the Knight trilogy ( Rogue and Redemption ), and since I have seen the other two, which had some entertainment value, I may as well wrap it up. Hey, look at that, it is Dizzy ( Dina Meyer ) from the cult flick, Starship Troopers . This flick is proving that you cannot take just anyone and make him the villain. Yeah, everyone not named Bruce Willis or Lochlyn Munro in this movie is absolutely worthless, but the kid they picked as the

The Old Way (2023)
My quick rating - 4.8/10. I figured I'd give something a bit different a try. Westerns aren't my typical go-to. But this keeps popping up on the Firecubes Amazon banner, so why not? It was pretty easy to pick out the star of the show, and it was NOT Nicolas Cage . He did have a bit of a bounce back recently with a couple of decent flicks, so I was hoping it was just a spell of poor choices, but this one is mediocre at absolute best. I swear, it seems that he can act so well

The Roundup (2022)
My quick rating - 7.2/10. Ma Dong-seok (or Don Lee for a more Western name) stars in this gritty action flick from first-time Korean director Sang-yong Lee . For a debut behind the lens, it isn't going to get much better than this. The "Beast Cop" returns as this is a sequel to The Outlaws , which I will admit, I haven't seen yet. Don Lee may be familiar to some from Eternals , where he played the hard-hitting Gilgamesh. In this flick, he plays a South Korean detective who

Detective Knight: Redemption (2022)
My quick rating - 4.2/10. This time it seems the heist takes place on Christmas, or at least all the criminals dressed up like Santa Claus. Again, don't think I needed to make it a holiday flick, though. This one takes place immediately after the events of the first one, so for continuity, you would want to watch them in order. And with that being said, I am a bit limited in the setup since it relies on the ending of Rogue . The start of this flick really gets you hyped for w

Chronicle (2012)
My quick rating - 6.9/10. Barely missing the 7 mark, and only because the camera sometimes forgets it’s supposed to help us see things. Chronicle takes the overused “teens get superpowers” setup and actually makes it feel fresh. So, suspend disbelief, grab your Dramamine, and dive in. Three high school buddies accidentally acquire telekinetic powers after poking around a glowing hole in the ground (always a great idea). At first, they’re just doing what any of us would—playin

Detective Knight: Rogue (2022)
My quick rating - 3.9/10. I accidentally put the second one on first (Redemption), but I had this one handy, so I may as well keep them in order. Turns out this one takes place on Halloween. Oops, I didn't know to save it for then. Doubt a heist flick really needs to get preferential horror flick treatment for my favorite holiday anyway. I have to say, this one is a slight step up from the recent Bruce Willis movies, but this is completely not his fault. The idea itself of a

Violent Night (2022)
My quick rating - 7.3/10. Time to finish off this Christmas with a beating. This one was definitely on my list ever since I read of its existence. Nothing like casting David Harbour as Santa in a flick that feels like a fun mix of Home Alone and Die Hard . We are introduced to Santa, who seems to be just at his wits' end with the entitled nature of kids these days and is about done with the whole Christmas holiday. Sure, he is also drowning his sorrows in booze and comedica
