A mediocre mash-up of teen misadventures and a super-hero film, Secret Headquarters follows the actions of Charlie (Walker Scobell) and his friends (Momona Tamada, Keith L. Williams, and Abby James Witherspoon) who discover a super-hero cave in the basement of his estranged deadbeat dad (Owen Wilson) and proceed to have a blast while accidentally alert an evil cooperate goon (Michael Peña) and his minions to the location of the super-hero’s alien power source.

Bullet Train

Brad Pitt is having fun. I wish I could say the same in watching his latest film. Sure, he’s great, but sadly Bullet Train is neither as smart or fun as needs to be. There’s plenty of talent here starting with Pitt as the unluckiest bad guy ever, and the setting allows for all kinds of crazy antics, but somehow it just never quite clicks. Rather than the film oozing cool, like Ocean’s Eleven, you can feel the desperation of wanting to be cool from nearly every frame of the uneven story of a bunch of killers trapped together on a bullet train in Japan.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to 1984 and the birth of the action-comedy. Originally a far more straight action film that at one time was a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone, Beverly Hills Cop became a much more humorous break-out role for Eddie Murphy cementing him as a bankable movie star and arguably carving out a new niche for the action-comedy (with the script being rewritten on the fly while the film began shooting under director Martin Brest).

Thor: Love and Thunder

  • Title: Thor: Love and Thunder

Phase Four, by far the most experimental and unpredictable phase of the MCU, continues with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) earning his fourth standalone film (moving him past his tie with Captain America and Iron Man). Writer/director Taika Waititi returns for a follow up to Thor: Ragnarok choosing to keep the same tone and humor of that film. If Ragnarok was a 9 on the wacky scale, Love and Thunder is a 12.
