There are no major spoilers in these reviews.
Miguel Wants to Fight (PG):
This is a coming-of-age story about a high schooler who's about to move away and realizes he's never gotten in a fight. It has Reservoir Dogs vibes mixed with the stylishness of Scott Pilgrim VS the World. On Hulu.
Final Grade: B+
Line of Duty, Season Two:
The second season improves on the first, introducing more morally grey habits in the characters and having less "smelling the fart" acting. On Hulu.
Final Grade: B
Barry, Season Three:
The third season of Barry is slightly less weird than the second and goes in some interesting directions. The show's at its best when juxtaposing seriousness with clever sight gags, like Gene Cousineau being chased through a backyard by dogs.
Final Grade: B
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (PG-13):
This movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes long and it's only PART ONE of the whole story. It takes 30 minutes to get to the title sequence. It epitomizes the "big budget by committee" problem that these movies have today: fun stunts that go on for three times too long until they're just exhausting interrupted by extended exposition dialogue and cliched one-liners that are intended to be comedic. Skip it. Or fast forward to the two or three big set pieces and enjoy the stunts.
Final Grade: C-
