Match of Jan

Punk vs Seth

 Roman vs Solo 

Penta vs Gable

Rhea vs Liv 

Santana vs Alexander 

Creature Commandos

 Creature Commandos is the lunch of James Gunn's DC, well soft launch....hard launch? Peacemaker & Blue Beetle have elements that will carry over but this is the legit first portion, as for a campy cartoon it is quite fun & action packed but as far as the grand DC goes, this almost feels like a more pulpy sub label. I don't really see this canon and the upcoming Superman being in the same universe, yet they are and i am excited to see the connections. 

Companion

Companion is a totally welcome surprise. The trailer looked interesting but it honestly and smartly leaves alot out. Go into this blind and have a delightful time. A witty plot with social commentary, solid acting, and gnarly kills, January is definitely  no longer a dump month. 

Presence

Modern Steven Soderbergh might be the best yet. Unsane, Kimi, and now Presence. Presence is a stripped down take on ghost films and has some creative ideas mixed in. Small cast, short run time, this is Soderbergh once again experimenting. 

Wolf Man

               

Wolf Man might not have nards but it is fine. After Invisible Man I expected more from this but Leigh Whannell still adds in a bit of a vision even if these moments made little sense. The pacing was the main issue, it's not quite a slow burn as much as it feels odd. The acting is pretty damn good as you really feel the connection of father and daughter here, other than that it feels like a generic werewolf flick.

Sonic 3

Sonic 3 was alot of fun, is it peak cinema? No but it wasn't meant to be. I still prefer the first but this was an improvement over the second one with good teases for the future of the series.
