Quick Movie Reviews: F1, M3GAN 2.0, Jurassic World Rebirth, Heads of State

F1: Joseph Kosinski's first big screen venture since Top Gun: Maverick transformed his career is an easy movie to like. Kosinski uses the same dedication to immersive realism that made the aerial action in Maverick pop by using car-mounted camera rigs and insanely loud, detailed sound design to craft exhilarating race sequences that put the viewer right in the middle of the action, the four leading actors (Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem) bring the magnetism to their roles you'd expect from performers of their caliber and Ehren Kruger's script executes the expected underdog sports movie, cocky young buck vs. cocky seasoned pro beats in rousing fashion. Everything was set up for an easy win... until disaster struck out of nowhere. For the lack of a better phrase, F1 starts to really spin its tires in the final act. Whether it or got derailed by adding an unnecessary contrivance or two in an effort to further up the stakes at the last minute or just simply overstayed its welcome is up for debate, but I do know that I had more than enough of watching the movie by the time the climactic race rolls around and that's not exactly ideal for a movie that belongs to a genre where the final bout is supposed to feel like life or death. Shaving 20-30 minutes off the runtime would've probably done wonders and hopefully if a sequel materializes, Kosinski will tighten things up because the movie was really humming until it careened into the wall on the last lap.     

Grade: B

M3GAN 2.0: Reinventing the titular sentient AI killer robot as an action hero for her second trip to the big screen was the right call. Having M3GAN get revived in order to get revenge on her creator (Allison Williams) would've been a very easy direction to go in for the sequel. It also would've almost certainly been an inferior rehash of the original. Despite boasting such a strong, refreshing hook for a sequel, M3GAN 2.0 ends up falling short of its predecessor anyways due to its struggles to get where it wants to go as a B-action movie.

Even in practice, there are plenty of moments where the vision for M3GAN 2.0 fully materializes. M3GAN drops some great one-liners that are befitting of her new action hero status, the fight scenes are a thoughtful, campy homage to an action star of yesteryear that is directly namechecked multiple times (often in hilarious fashion) and AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno) is a solid, stoic antagonist that opposes the campiness surrounding her in a natural fashion. Where M3GAN 2.0 goes astray is in its bewilderingly strong commitment to its increasingly convoluted plot. Having the movie basically pause for an exposition dump every 15-20 minutes does a real number on the energy level, particularly in the third act when you find out who is pulling out AMELIA's strings (spoiler alert: you probably won't be shocked at all!) and they spend what at least feels like the next 10 minutes explaining their actions. Returning writer/director Gerard Johnstone being behind this ill-advised creative choice makes it even more head-scratching. This seems like a classic case of overthinking derailing a good idea and one has to wonder how much Johnstone would've cooked here if he had just allowed the camp elements of the film run wild.               

Grade: B-

Jurassic World Rebirth: Not as gleefully idiotic as the previous three Jurassic World movies nor the "back to basics" ode to the masterful original that the creatives behind claimed it would be, Jurassic World Rebirth is instead just a movie that ushers in yet another planned Jurassic trilogy in the most inoffensive, competent manner imaginable. Quite frankly, your enthusiasm level towards Rebirth will likely be determined by how excited you are to see dinosaurs on the big screen again and the three actors (Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey) tasked with leading a doomed expedition to a remote island somewhere around the Equator to tango with a bunch of inbred, mutated dinosaurs that were too gnarly to make the trek over to John Hammond's theme park. For me, the leads were a notable enough improvement from the Chris Pratt/Bryce Dallas Howard duo we got from 2015-22 and the dino action was good enough for me to enjoy my time in the theater watching Rebirth. Let's do this again in 3 years, shall we?         

Grade: B

Heads of State: Here's some fun propaganda for streaming Evangelists: Heads of State is a more entertaining, better constructed movie than its fellow July 2nd release Jurassic World Rebirth. While it's still not quite good enough to be considered a great movie, it's a knowingly silly romp that has no problem remaining breezy throughout thanks to making great use of the combative chemistry that Idris Elba and John Cena established in The Suicide Squad as they play the presidents of their respective real life home nations (UK/US) who are forced to overlook their disdain for each other in order to remain alive after narrowly surviving an attack onboard Air Force One in route to a NATO conference in Italy that is believed to have been carried out by someone in one of their inner circles and delivering a half dozen or so of the kinetic, manic action sequences that have become the calling card of director Ilya Nilhauser (Hardcore Henry, Nobody). Even the last second mid-credit scene sequel tease doesn't dampen the consistent fun that preceded it. In terms of turn your brain off home watches meant for (trying) to escape from the blistering heat of summer, Heads of State is pretty much perfect, and that's really all it needed to be to be deemed a success.

2025 in Music: Mid-Year Review

Maybe it's because I've deliberately been listening to fewer new records in an effort to spend more time with each record I listen to and develop a better realized take on my feelings towards them, but I currently feel very good about the quality of the music I've heard in 2025. There have only been a few real letdowns in the bunch, my current top 10 records (particularly the top 6) of the year are among the strongest in recent memory and I've discovered some artists (Jane Remover, Orthodox, Your Spirit Dies) that have really grabbed me. Hopefully this momentum can carry into the final 6 months, but there's obviously no guarantees on that, particularly with the murkiness that always surrounds the album release calendar. Below, you'll find a list of every record I've heard in 2025 ranked from worst to best along with my picks for the top 25 songs and some awards. Hope you enjoy,

2025 in Movies: Mid-Year Review

Going into 2025, it looked like it was going to be a hell of a year for movies. A combination of the residual effects of delays from COVID and the SAG/WGA strikes (mostly) coming to an end and the good fortune of having a ton of great directors with films on the release calendar provided a level of excitement that arguably hasn't been seen since 2019. While the next six months will determine whether or not the slate lived up to the hope and hype that surrounded it, it's definitely off to a pretty strong start. 

Ryan Coogler hit a towering home run with his first ever original movie (Sinners). The Philippou Brothers followed up Talk to Me with the bleak, grisly and surprisingly emotional Bring Her Back. Just over 7 months after Longlegs became the biggest hit of his career thus far, Osgood Perkins showed there's another register to his signature darkness with the hilariously morbid mediation on the cruel randomness of death that is The Monkey. Marvel popped out one of its best movies in a good long while with the scrappy teamup movie Thunderbolts*. Newcomers Drew Hancock (Companion), Lawrence Lamont (One of Them Days) and Andrew DeYoung (Friendship) authored the kinds of strong directorial debuts that will be hailed for years to come. Given that many of the heaviest hitters slated for this year have yet to release, having this many gems in the opening portion of the calendar is a great sign of things to come as we officially enter the back half of the 2025 calendar today. Below, you'll find a complete list of every 2025 movie I've seen so far ranked from worst to best alongside some awards and other stuff that I felt like putting into the ether right now. Hope you enjoy.

Top Miscellaneous Things I Couldn't Praise Above:

1.The goopy gore, eerie score and psychedelic cinematography that powered the disorienting, visceral atmosphere of Ash.

2.The consistently inventive ways the main character's inability to feel pain was worked into Novocaine's bone-crunching fight scenes.

3.Kate Mara being able to hang with the unpredictable comedic force of nature that is Tim Robinson and delivering some of the biggest laughs in all of Friendship.

4.The strong hangout movie vibe of Den of Thieves 2: Pantera that separated from its grizzled predecessor without removing the unapologetic grime that made it a standout heist movie. 

5.Jay Ellis demanding to get an action movie of his own with his badass action hero turn in the final chapter of Freaky Tales.

6.The beautifully cartoonish costuming of every villain and lighting choices of the various places they gather in A Working Man.

7.Love Hurts bringing back the playful silliness and energetic, creative fight choreography of Jackie Chan's pre-Rush Hour ventures in the US.

8.Celine Song baiting people into thinking they were going to see a cutesy love triangle romantic dramedy with Materialists and instead giving them a deeply cynical look at how the superficial commodification of modern dating has taught people to devalue themselves and the humanity of the others, which in turn has made the rare miracle that is real love even harder to find.

9.Havoc shaking off its pretty rough, needlessly convoluted start with a final hour that is full of some of the most relentlessly brutal carnage to appear in any film in the past decade.

10.The perfect needle drops in Companion that elevate several of the funniest moments in the movie.

1.Moonlight (A)

Top Dog: Moonlight (2016)

8 years after calling it vastly overrated and unworthy of winning Best Picture, I watched Moonlight again and it floored me. Barry Jenkins authored such a beautiful, tragic and thoughtfully rendered portrait of a man named Chiron (played by Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes as a child, teenager and adult respectively) wrestling with his identity as he comes of his age in the crime-ridden, impoverished Liberty City neighborhood of Miami during the 80's/90's. The performances from not only the 3 actors who play Chiron, but Naomie Harris as Chiron's abusive, crack-addicted mother and Ali as the kind, soft-spoken crack dealer Juan who serves as a father figure for Chiron as a kid are all deeply powerful, James Laxton's serene cinematography is some of the best of any film in recent memory and the ending packs a serious emotional punch that also serves as the purest, rawest distillation of the film's themes. This movie really is a masterpiece and I'm retroactively thrilled that it was able to knock off La La Land to win Best Picture.             

Bottom Feeder: Supremacy (2015)

With the exception of 2019's Black and Blue, Deon Taylor has consistently run into trouble when he tries to attach social commentary to a trashy thriller concept. Supremacy is a particularly egregious case of concocting a misguided attempt to saying something poignant about a very real problem in the world (in this case, white nationalism and racism) as the moments where it attempts to be profound feel very forced and jarring when everything else about the movie feels like a cheap direct-to-VOD home invasion thriller where the invaders (Joe Anderson, Dawn Oliveri) just happen to be proud bigots hiding out from the cops after the man-who was released from prison after doing a 15-year bid that very same day- killed a cop (Ali) during a traffic stop gone awry. Taylor's talent for generating suspense at key moments prevents it from falling completely on its face, but it's a still pretty poor effort on the whole.    

Most Underrated: Predators (2010)

Is Predators the best Predator sequel? No, Prey earned that title nearly three years ago. Is Predators the most underrated and unfairly shat upon Predator sequel? Absolutely. The joys this movie provides are vast and (mostly) completely unique within this long-running franchise. Laurence Fishburne shows for up 15 minutes in the second act and goes absolutely berserk before dying in spectacular fashion! A predator creates a bobby trap that involves replicating the voice of a guy they just killed off-camera! The Yakuza guy (Louis Ozawa Changchien) fights a predator with a sword! There's a shocking, strange twist involving a main character at the end of the movie for no real reason at all! Adrien Brody is doing a Sylvester Stallone impression the whole movie and it kind of rules! Movies that are full of cool shit and not much else are cool!   

Most Overrated: Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

Every time Alita: Battle Angel looks like it's going to be able to find its groove via its kinetic action sequences or the strength of Rosa Salazar's excellent performance as the title character that beautifully captures the juxtaposition of child-like curiosity and the unbreakable spirit of a battle-hardened solider, James Cameron's awful script steps in and mucks shit up by introducing another crap subplot that makes the film cornier and more incoherent than it was previously until it naturally reaches its wet fart of an ending. It's really a blessing that Cameron is too focused on making Avatar movies to shit out anything else these days.
