  • Title: The Last Rodeo
  • IMDb: link

The Last Rodeo is a film that could only take place in America where a broken healthcare system would force a grandfather into risking his own life to pay for life-saving medical procedure for his grandson (Graham Harvey) which the insurance will not fully cover. While the film focuses on the hero’s journey and bringing former rodeo star  Joe Wainright (Neal McDonough) closer together with his daughter (Sarah Jones) and former best friend (Mykelti Williamson), the idea that any of this is necessary is as tragic as the boy’s brain tumor.

Delayed a year due to the 2023 strike which halted production for months, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two finally makes it into theaters under the new title Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning with a bloated runtime of 170- minutes filled with moments and marketing reinforcing the idea this could be Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) final mission (despite Cruise repeatedly saying he isn’t done with the franchise) in hopes of garnering interest in a film whose production costs skyrocketed making it one of the most expensive movies ever made.

  • wiki: link

While Lyco (Lane Factor) is stunned to learn his protector is Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), he continues on with her as the former Sith looks up an old acquaintance who might help them find other Jedi. Attempting to trade their skills for the info, the pair agree to help out the bounty hunter Latts Razzi (Clare Grant) and her droid in stealing from the Empire, at least until the heist goes sideways and Lyco learns the former Jedi-killer is far more trusting than a bounty hunter will to do whatever she can to make a buck. While providing a bit of action, the episode’s purpose to provide some trust between the unlikely pair is successfully.

Demolition Man

  • Title: Demolition Man
  • IMDb: link

Let’s get this out of the way first, Demolition Man is a somewhat fun, if incredibly stupid, movie. Set in a dystopian future of a seemingly innocuous utopia (but with its own troubles bubbling under the surface), the film gives us super-cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and psychopath Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) both being released from cryogenic prison where their battles in the late 90s left them (thanks to Phoenix framing Spartan in a way so obvious it could only be missed by 90s rule of law).
