Karate Kid: Legends feels like glorified fan fiction. It has all the earmarks of something made by a fan primarily for fans. The overstuffed 94-minute feature aggressively strip-mines the previous five films (plus the series Cobra Kai) in an attempt to give Karate Kid lovers another dose of the universe they have come to love.

If, going in to Bring Her Back, one wasn’t aware that the directors were the Australian brother team of Danny and Michael Philippou, it wouldn’t be a hard thing to guess. In term of style, aesthetics, and tone, this movie is strongly reminiscent of the filmmakers’ freshman work, Talk to Me. It’s serious horror, eschewing the lighter pleasures associated with the campier or humor-tinged genre entries.

Here’s yet another original streaming “event” movie that rewards viewers for inattentiveness and distraction. The less attention one pays to this soulless retread of an action/adventure wannabe, the better it looks. With its A-list cast and crisp visual style (credit Guy Ritchie for that at least – not that he accomplishes much beyond it), the movie could be mistaken for a simple Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off if one didn’t bother to look closely enough.

The best animated films are the ones that work on multiple levels, allowing children and adults to engage, often in different ways, with the characters and story. Throughout its history, Walt Disney Pictures has excelled in making those kinds of films. Lilo & Stitch isn’t one of them. The film is pitched toward younger viewers, choosing to optimize the enjoyment of 4-9-year olds over the appreciation of their parents.

After 30 years and eight films, there’s a sense that the Mission: Impossible film series (itself a reworking of the venerable and popular 1960/70s TV series) may finally be played out. Since Christopher McQuarrie came on board and revitalized things with the fifth installment, 2015’s Rogue Nation, the M:I films have focused heavily on extravagant stunts, with each movie attempting to outdo its predecessor.

When it comes to horror, this is more my speed than the latest "Final Destination" movie. Review of "Bring Her Back": https://t.co/OLMCD7l7Mx
I was away this past weekend so I didn't get a chance to post this. A review of "Fountain of Youth", which is currently streaming on Apple TV+ and should generally be avoided unless you're looking for a sleep aid. https://t.co/NKSrauXUm7
