Spider Man Homecoming
The Sam Raimi Spider Man flicks have wonderful villains, great actors in the roles, and great performances in said roles. Mark Webb's Spidey flicks had great villains and great actors yet the performances were off. Jon Watt's had a great villain, a great actor and a great performance. You see the sides of the villain in most Spidey flicks, and there is the conflict with in them. The Raimi series had great supporting characters with J Jonah Jameson, the Webb flicks did not, the Watt series, thus far has some really fun characters. Raimi had awful love interests and terrible performances, Webb had the opposite of it, Watt's is in the middle, Lisa is so so but MJ is the shit(no, not Marry Jane).Tobey Maguire was terrible, Andrew Garfield was amazing, Tom Holland is pretty fucking good. Where as Tobey was a stereotypical nerd, Garfield was a true version of what a Spidey fan would be, semi awkward, around the popular crowd, yet cool around the cool peeps. Holland, is a lost underclassmen, and he plays it well. The soundtrack was awesome, the nods were well done, honestly, i am stoked for the Spidey Verse that crosses the MCU. Better plot than the Webb flicks, better Peter than Raimi's so a film in the middle.

The House
Will Ferrell is not that funny, pre Anchorman was a good time, Anchorman is brilliant, as it his other McKay films, small parts like in Wedding Crashers & Zoolander, fuck yeah, a film about a casino, um, this could have come out in the 00s along with Blades of Glory & Semi Pro, atleast it would have been relevant.

King Arthur
Guy Richie is an odd one, Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels was a solid debut, he then made a even better film with Snatch. He met Madonna, hit a rough patch with Swept Away and tried to reclaim his crime roots with Revolver but failed, and with RockNRolla, which was a decent film, but then he became a blockbuster director. I only saw the first Sherlock Holmes, but wasn't a fan, Th Man From UNCLE i was bored to tears with, and i was with King Arthur too. Visually it looked cool but the film did nothing at all for me. I will keep my King Arthur with Monty Python!

Book of Henry
I wanted to love this film, i wanted to adore this film, yet Collin Trevorrow's return to small scale filmmaking simply failed. I wanted another Safety Not Guaranteed, i mean, i know the plot wouldn't be the same, but a film where you leave and think, wow, this guy has it. Perhaps balancing Jurassic World and Episode IX was too much, i loved Jurassic, so perhaps his talent is in blockbusters. It has a great cast, yet all the roles seem flat. It is oscar bait, yet oscar bait so needy that it tries so hard and fails that recovery is damn near impossible.
Phoenix Forgotten
Back as a teen, i think i really would have loved this, as a kid i loved the UFO Abduction specials on FOX, as a teen i read up on that shit online all the time. I wish this film was great, it is fine, but that is about it. The acting is meh, the plot is forgettable.
Rough Night
Take a great ensemble cast, take the Hangover, add in a female twist, drop it in Body(amazing horror film, look it up) and then take away the brilliance of Body, the humor of the Hangover(fuck you, i like em) and then watch the cast do their best to make it work. Thankfully it has a good cast, it isn't very funny, yes it is dark humor, but i love dark humor, and part of it is, not everyone can do dark humor, but even if you could, it still may not have worked. It is worth the watch, but it is not one i really liked.
