Spider-Man: Brand New Day feels like director Destin Daniel Cretton and screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers grabbed everything in the kitchen and blended it together, not sure of how exactly it would turn out. What they deliver is film that needs to both be a new start and a finale for Tom Holland as the Wall-Crawler, that needs to wrap-up the threads left dangling after Spider-Man: No Way Home, open up the Spidey world for several existing Marvel characters including Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), Yelena (Florence Pugh), and Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), and introduce a key new character pivotal to Marvel’s non-Spidey plans moving forward.

Writer/director Bart Layton‘s adaptation of Don Winslow‘s novella offers a mix between a heist film and a drama featuring the interconnected lives of strangers who converge. Our characters include our noble and uncatchable thief (Chris Hemsworth), the girl (Monica Barbaro) he begins dating after she literally crashes into him, a good cop (Mark Ruffalo) on the outs with his own department for following evidence rather than towing the company line, a middle-aged insurance agent (Halle Berry) passed over for another raise, and a second, more reckless, thief (Barry Keoghan) looking to steal a big score from Hemsworth’s character.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t

  • Title: Now You See Me: Now You Don’t
  • IMDb: link

Mixing magicians into a hesit film for something undeniably cool, if a bit overly-complicated, Now You See Me gave us Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher as four young magicians brought together by a mysterious secret organization to use their skills and sleight of hand to deal a bit of justice to the wealthy who have skirted their responsibilities. The clusterfuck of a sequel even further over-complicated the story, removed key figures from the plot, and retconned the motivations of a key antagonist leading to a dismal follow up that somehow didn’t kill this franchise.
