Renfield

Renfield is extremely funny, with great action scenes, and unlike anything I've seen in a long time. It's gory, but the gore effects are so over-the-top cartoonish that it doesn't bother me. Cage really hams it up in the most delightful way. 

See it.

Knives Out and Glass Onion

Knives Out is damn near a perfect movie. Excellent script, perfect cast, great plot. I really can’t think of a single complaint. Okay, there’s a couple of scenes where a character throws up, which makes me nauseous (I’m emetophobic), but that’s my problem. Five star movie, ‘nuff said.

Glass Onion is almost as good. It still has an excellent cast delivering perfect performances. It has a decent plot and a snappy script. But the plot relies on a couple of contrived tropes. Anytime I see either of these particular tropes in a movie, it feels like lazy writing to me. Still, it’s impossible to watch this movie without a smile on your face, and its only real crime is not being as perfect as its predecessor.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods

Fury of the Gods is fun and enjoyable. It's extremely cheesy, but if you've seen the first one, you should know that going in. There's a few over-the-top parts that you'll either love or hate, like the "Skittles unicorn" scene. And like the first movie, there's a lot of tone whiplash - sometimes it seems a little dark for kids, but other times it's too light for adults.

If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.
