Captain America: Middling New World

Providing Sam Wilson‘s (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen appearance of Captain America, transforming President Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) into Red Hulk, and laying the some connective tissue between past and future films such as finally pulling on the Celestial thread left over from The Eternals, Captain America: Brave New World proves to be another middling entry to the MCU post Avengers: Endgame as I’m not sure making a good film, rather than a serviceable one, ever made it past the planning stage.

Invincible – You’re Not Laughing Now

  • Title: Invincible – You’re Not Laughing Now
  • wiki: link

Keeping to the series’ trademark of overstuffing its episodes with plot, but somehow still managing to end in a cliffhanger, Invincible returns with a new season kicking off with Mark (Steven Yeun) all-in with training under Cecil (Walton Goggins) for months to expand his abilities. We get a couple of early fight sequences for Invincible that are otherwise disconnected from the plot including taking down the Giant (Fred Tatasciore) in the desert and, alongside Rex Splode (Jason Mantzoukas), failing to stop two thieves from stealing the Declaration of Independence when Multi-Paul (Simu Liu) shows up blaming Rex for his sister’s death (except she’ not exactly dead). The latter of these seems like it’s important but it’s dropped almost immediately to pivot to the reveal Dupli-Kate (Malese Jow) is still alive.

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx star in this lame action thriller as former spies forced out of retirement after being spotted getting into a public altercation involving their rebellious teenage daughter (McKenna Roberts) in a night club. Back in Action is a charmless paint-by-number genre flick with the cast going through the motions as the family finds itself on the run eventually pulling in Emily’s (Diaz) British mother (Glenn Close) and her ridiculous boyfriend (Jamie Demetriou).

The final two episodes of Citadel: Honey Bunny‘s season finally bring Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) and Bunny (Varun Dhawan) back together, and introduce Bunny to his daughter, while also wrapping up the flashbacks detailing the events that happened eight years prior and Honey’s betrayal and presumed death which allowed her to disappear. After Bunny sues Guru (Kay Kay Menon) for peace, KD (Saqib Saleem) refuses to step down leading to a bloodbath of an extended action sequence featuring Honey and Bunny mowing down legions of Guru’s men. Despite no news on whether or not a Second Season will be coming, the show ends on a cliffhanger with Bunny making a suicidal run buying time for Honey and Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) to escape.

Sonic 3

  • Title: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
  • IMDb: link

Adding a bit of pathos and depth to the franchise with the addition of Shadow (Keanu Reeves), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is easily the best film of the franchise. A large chunk of the film is dedicated to revealing the tortured origins and motives of the games’ famous antihero consumed with vengeance following his escape from the G.U.N. prison facility where he’s been kept in suspended animation for the last 50 years. Reeves turns out to be a great choice to voice the character whose less murdery side is shown in a series of flashbacks highlighting his friendship with Maria Robotnik (Alyla Browne) which ended in tragedy prior to his incarceration.
