Last Moment of Clarity

  • Title: Last Moment of Clarity
  • IMDb: link

2020’s Last Moment of Clarity is a failed attempt at a neo-noir thriller from writer/directors James and Colin Krisel that eventually limps to the finish line after failing to hit its mark. The film is far more notable for the amount of skin shown by Samara Weaving than anything having to do with the film’s plot or its performances that otherwise would feel right at home as throwaway TV-movie of the week.

Monster Trucks

Obviously aimed at kids, Nickelodeon’s Monster Trucks would feel right at home in a double-feature with some of the live-action Disney films of the 50s and 60s (albeit with better special effects). The film follows the misadventures of teenager Tripp (MacGyver‘s Lucas Till) who ends up with a monster in his truck after it is forced out of its natural environment by a local oil drilling company. At first afraid of the creature, Tripp discovers having a monster be the engine of your truck has some advantages.

Scarpetta – Bridge of Time, Part One

  • Title: Scarpetta – Bridge of Time, Part One
  • IMDb: link

Focused on stories nearly three decades apart, both Rosy McEwen and Nicole Kidman play Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta based on the character introduced in Patricia Cornwell’s novels. While Kidman plays the character returning to the job after being forced out years before, McEwen plays the younger version of the character tackling her first big case (which made her career but also appears to be linked to a new murder that calls the old investigation into question).

The Mirror Crack’d

  • Title: The Mirror Crack’d
  • IMDb: link

Agatha Christie‘s The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side is a bizarre choice for an adaptation, a Miss Marple mystery that limits the amount of time you can feature the detective, and The Mirror Crack’d is an equally head-scratching film in hiding our leading lady even more than the original novel did making Marple a supporting character in her own mystery.

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

  • Title: Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
  • IMDb: link

Director McG‘s nonsensical follow up to 2000’s Charlie’s Angels goes bigger and dumber leaning full into cheap gags and T&A at every turn while sticking Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore), and Alex (Lucy Liu) in a plot featuring highly-classified data two random people are just wearing out in public on their fingers, and, eventually, revealing the former Angel Madison Lee (Demi Moore), almost as an afterthought, to be the villain behind the plot.
