Since my last movie roundup, I have watched six movies. In the interest of keeping things fresh, I’m going to switch up how I present the movies in each post. Today, I’m going to list the movies first and then give you which I rated highest, lowest, and which movie is smack dab in ‘meh’ territory.

Behold, the movies:

1. Primate Rage (2018)
2. Final Girl (2015)
3. Twisters (2024)
4. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1912) (Will not be included since it has a separate post)
5. Playdate (2025)
6. Tinsel Town (2025)

Let’s start with ‘meh’

Playdate (2025)

First of all….listen, I don’t ogle too often. Ogling is not usually in my wheelhouse. I am, however, human. So…

I don’t know who Alan Ritchson is. I have never seen this person before watching this movie. I am most happy that I was introduced, though. Okay, Playdate.

There is nothing about this movie to love, but I didn’t hate it either.

Things happened. A lot of action. It was fast-moving. There was some light laughter. The problem is that the storyline itself is ridiculous. Mainly the cloning portion of the story. I feel this could have worked better if that aspect had been axed and, in its place, something more grounded had been included. A heist. A bad soldier gone good and now the unreformed soldiers are trying to silence him before he leaks secrets. Would it have been covering new ground? Nope. Would it have been less jarring? Yes.

My highest rated, you ask?

Final Girl (2015)

This was unexpected.

In the last ten years where I haven’t watched too many films, this has popped up numerous times on the few occasions I did feel like watching a movie. I have always skipped over it. This time, when it came up, I decided to give it a go. This is intriguing. The premise is strong. So strong that I found myself wanting to know the backstory of pretty much everything. Yet, while this is absolutely my highest-rated film of the six, it could have been so much better if the writers and/or filmmakers had filled in those blanks. As it stands, this is worth a watch. Gotta love Abigail Breslin and Wes Bentley. The other actors? Also kind of superb to be honest!

And trailing behind?

Tinsel Town (2025)

lmaoooooo

It’s not that bad, but it kind of is.

Let me just start by saying that I love Kiefer Sutherland. I have always loved Kiefer Sutherland.

The Lost Boys

Stand by Me

The Three Musketeers

24

Flatliners

Freeway

He’s handsome and so fucking talented that it hurts. I sort of just want to marry him.

It is with love that I say, I hope he never does anything like this again.

I’m not saying that he only has to play broody or villainous characters. Absolutely not. But this? This was a choice.

It’s not the worst movie I’ve ever watched. Not at all. However, it felt all over the place. It felt incomplete. It felt like everyone was uncomfortable in their roles. I’m so sorry, my love. Kiefer. Don’t leave me.
