When the death of a local mob boss leaves a power vacuum, a lieutenant moves to seize his own piece of the pie.
Phenomenal acting, great writing; good all around. Let's see where this one goes.

Our dude uses every resource for revenge against the Harkonnen who murdered his family and people.
It would be watchable, even good, if it didn't have odd gaps in it. It's as though there is another movie whose cloth this was cut. I'm betting there is a super duper extended length version, because I feel there are missing scenes.

The found footage of the travel to, and exploration of, one of the moons of Jupiter in the search for extraterrestrial life.
It's slow and focused, with a consistent and weighty tone. If you like it within the first fifteen minutes, you'll like the rest of it.

Agencies the world 'round borrow from Nazi experiments to create limited super soldiers, and Steve Rogers Nick Gant is swept up into a conspiracy for American conscripts to free themselves.
Pretty straightforward and interesting; recommended. It unfortunately doesn't tie itself up neatly.

John Wick returns to alternately ruin and end his friends lives in the hopes of leveraging an obscure rule to free himself from .. whatever their assassins society is called.
It's adequate, but has nowhere near equality: I think one unimportant woman dies on-screen and then the body vanishes, another gets hurt, and this has to be the most brutally misandrist movie I've ever seen. Feminist approved!

Mercenaries mercenary, but not effectively, and survivors band together for revenge.
It's a solid violence-filled thriller more in the American style than Indonesian, so it's good but not great.

A high school girl discovers she is not.
A simple story lines that's still decent bubblegum, but it sneaks in jarring wokeness at the tail end so it's not really recommended. It could and should have done much better, even with the woke in mind.

The last remaining Transformers on Earth are hunted down and taken apart for their technology.
It's fast and loose, and has a lot of explosions and such; meh.
