The influx of a romantic comedy is playing to irony and perhaps playing issue to that which came before it. "The Lost City" has its moments and knows what it is doing because of its star Sandra Bullock. Even though we haven't seen her as much onscreen lately in this type of movie, the comedienne extraordinaire has not lost her touch.

Naomi Watts doesn't take the easy roles. During the pandemic she did both this film and "The Desperate Hour" (which we recently talked to her for). While the latter film seemed to be a challenging approach, "The Infinite Storm" by comparison seems alot more grueling as well as more taxing physically and emotionally.

The spectre of a greater war and where the balance lies creates an interesting parallel of what people are willing to die for and what makes a difference. Noomi Rapace as an actor has always been interested in talking chances and moving against the grain while still exploring basic psychology and physical parameters.

The notion of anticipation and perception is an interesting beast. What Writer/Director Ti West does with his new film "X" is both reflexive but oddly surrealist in its eventual comeuppance.

"Deep Water" is based on a Patricia High Smith novel. And while it is not Ripley it does have characters who both have secrets but also make decisions for their own reasons. Armas and Affleck play a married couple separated by time, instinct and place in life.

The texture of Batman is always tricky because you want to have him be more out of control than the villains he pursues but that can be a tall order and run against the texture of any given story. That is the trick of the series.

Sometimes movies are just made for fun but it is understanding the tonality and the idea of who makes it without attaching any sort of expectation. "Moonfall" is a bad movie but in a wonderful elative way because it is so bonkers in so many respects (yet both derivative and original).

The texture of a female led action film should not be considered an unbalanced affair and "The 355" proves that. From the first time this journalist heard a couple years ago around Cannes that Jessica Chastain was trying to bring kick ass women from all over the globe for a spy thriller, it was an instant sell.

The essence of Shakespeare reflects in seeing an essence of truth beneath the structure but also finding something in brevity. With "The Tragedy Of Macbeth", the players are fantastic, the production stylized but the approach is finite simply because of its essence.
