You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) |
I'm absolutely floored by the Tomatometer on this! Over 90% fresh? Are you kidding me? You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is one of the least funny movies I've ever watched. This has a better score than Austin Powers, Dumb & Dumber & Zoolander. Sad. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Heart of Stone (2023) |
Heart of Stone is a great movie for your dad to fall asleep watching; not for much else though. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) |
A formulaic yet effective take on the horror icon, Dracula. The Last Voyage of the Demeter nails the atmosphere, the creature design and the crew of this ship. An easy watch with potential for more in the future! - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Meg 2: The Trench (2023) |
It's almost impressive how lame these Meg movies are. You have some of the coolest creatures ever, big budgets, Jason Statham; yet the films are still so boring to sit through. Remarkable stuff. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) |
The heroes in a half-shell are back baaaabbyyyy! These turtles sound great, they look great and they still love great pizza. Well, maybe not, because it's always Pizza Hut but still, the movie is pure, uncut, turtle power! - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Talk to Me (2023) |
Talk To Me is an easy film to give a "Fresh" score to. I was pretty on-edge through most of it and the 90 minute runtime kept it from losing it's intense pace. I still think it should have been called "Talk To The Hand" but whatever. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Barbie (2023) |
I have never struggled so much with a "fresh" or "rotten" score. Ultimately, I'm settling on the positive side. Even though Barbie is too long and chalk-full of cringy monologues; the fun cast, wonderful musical numbers and great visuals make up for it. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Sound of Freedom (2022) |
The movie has good intentions and the topic is heart-breaking but the film unfortunately can't keep up with the engaging 1st act. A great movie was in there somewhere but the script and sluggish pacing had me eager for the credits. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One (2023) |
It's really hard to find any big faults with the Mission: Impossible franchise. Cruise and company know exactly what the audience wants and they continue to deliver film-after-film. Bring on Part 2! - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

The 'Burbs (1989) |
I'm a bit bummed to see a rotten score on this movie so I felt inclined to throw my positive review into the ring. The Burbs is a great little flick; with a strong cast of neighbors, a simple, yet effective premise and enough intrigue to keep you hooked! - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) |
We already gave Indiana Jones a terrible sendoff 15 years ago. I guess they wanted to turn back the dial and do it all over again. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

The Blackening (2022) |
This movie felt like a 1-note skit that's about 10 years too late. It's not terrible but it's just all-around really tame and loses steam the longer it keeps going. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Elemental (2023) |
The trailers for Elemental were terrible. Thankfully, the final product is a different story. Elemental feels like classic Pixar. A wonderful world, likable characters, plenty of emotion and enough laughs to keep both young and old audiences entertained. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

The Flash (2023) |
This movie is absolutely insane. It has horrible CGI at times but huge creativity at others. The cast works really well and the storyline actually works well in the multiverse. I enjoyed this hot mess way more than I thought I would. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Asteroid City (2023) |
If you are a big fan of Wes Anderson, this movie is specifically for you. This doesn't work for general audiences though and even people on the fence with his work will probably be disappointed. I know I was. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) |

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) |
Across the Spider-Verse looks better, sounds better and will maybe even be better than Into the Spider-Verse, but as of now, I only saw 1/2 a story on the screen. It's definitely a movie worth watching but don't expect to leave with the full picture. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

The Little Mermaid (2023) |
I'm looking forward to the animated remake in a few years. These Disney "live-action" movies are pointless, unless the entire point is to just make money. In which case, these are the most important films of all-time. The Little Mermaid is tedious. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Scream VI (2023) |
People get stabbed a stupid amount of times and will be perfectly fine in the very next scene. Scream is the only franchise that I allow this level of insanity to go unchecked. Mainly because they are fun, self-aware slashers. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Creed III (2023) |
I'm not going to use some trite expression, like "Creed III is a knockout!"
It is but I'm not going to say it like that. Instead, I'm going with the equally lame "Creed III is the undisputed champion of the world!!" It's a great movie. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

M3GAN (2022) |
M3GAN is not scary and only has a couple semi-violent parts. It also has a very predictable, by-the-numbers script. Yet, the funny dialogue, great effects, tight runtime and solid performances make M3GAN an easy/fun watch. - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)

Less is often more. FALL has a simple premise and sticks with it. If you are afraid of heights, you might want to skip this one. Fall makes you believe these 2 leads are 2,000 feet off the ground, struggling to stay alive. An intense, engaging premise! - Adam Does Movies (YouTube)
