“Follows a hapless courier tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital. He soon finds himself caught in the middle of an outbreak and must fight through hordes of mutated creatures to survive.” I wanted to love this more than I did. Big fan of the games, and this does a fine job of emulating how it feels to play them, but you remove 3-5 lines of dialogue and you could say this isn’t resident evil. Breakout role for Austin Abram’s and he is gonna be a big star. Fun set pieces, and genuinely enjoyable until the last 15 or so, and kinda wraps up abruptly. I actually think this would benefit from being a half hour longer.

“Sam, an escaped convict, lands up on a farmland owned by a widow. When he learns that a ruthless contractor is trying to take over her land, he helps her to fight against the injustice.” An interesting but not really special 90’s action movie. Van Damme is somehow under and over qualified for this considering he doesn’t have the acting ability to do the drama, and the action is less than what he’s capable of. Love to the supporting cast with Rosanna Arqeutte, Kieran Cullen, and Ted Levine plays a good villain.

On Prime.

“When the attempt to kill a professor goes wrong, a series of violent events are triggered which force a taxi driver to run for his life.” This is like a chase epic. Absolutely insane and you constantly ask yourself how they even filmed some of these scenes. Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin, who just made hope, and previously The Wailing, The Chaser, and this, one of my new favorite directors. On Tubi.

“A talented piano tuner who suffers from hyperacusis discovers an unexpected aptitude for cracking safes, turning his life upside down.” A delightful twist on the heist genre. Great job by everyone involved, especially Leo Woodall, between this and “Tony,” he’s becoming an actor to watch. Rented on Prime.

“A mysterious discovery is made on the outskirts of the remote harbor town. The residents find themselves in a desperate fight for survival against something they have never encountered before.” This is the biggest budget, and widest release for a Korean film in the U.S. I think it’s a little bloated, and the CGI creatures could definitely use some work, but this was a blast. Funnier than you would think, and almost nonstop action. The Fury Road of alien movies.

“Lieutenant Troy Brennan’s reconnaissance mission over Soviet territory goes awry, forcing him to crash-land and survive in Russian wilderness while evading capture or rescue.” I liked this a lot. Cold War, Soviet Russia is the best setting, and has the feel of movies we don’t make anymore. Ryan Reynolds does a fine job minimizing what he’s known for, but Kenneth Branagh steals the show. On Apple TV.

“A disgraced ex-policeman who runs a small ring of prostitutes finds himself in a race against time when one of his women goes missing.” A super fucked up Korean crime thriller, and one of the darkest movies I’ve seen in a while. Such brutal and raw filmmaking that you actually feel worn out afterward. Must see. Rented on Apple.

“Two aimless young women inadvertently gain telepathic abilities after ingesting an experimental drug, pitting them against dangerous rivals pursuing the same powerful substance.” This wasn’t quite the home-run I thought it would be, but still pretty funny. Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat have chemistry and really carry the movie. Fun cameos and supporting characters and pretty silly. Had a fun time. Will be on Hulu in the near future.

“Alice returns to where the nightmare began: The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.” I still can’t say this is any good, but I didn’t hate it. This actually felt much more grounded than the previous ones, but still insanely dumb as well. On Hulu.
