Red Dawn, 1984 – 1/5

Basically circle jerky propaganda about the idea that a bunch of kids and yokels could easily fend off an invasion of trained Communist Soldiers.

Black Widow, 2021 – 3/5

It’s not bad but I wanted to like this so much more. It’s just kind of… Wandering and feels kind of random. The climax was particularly bad and it mostly just felt like the movie wasn’t sure what story it wanted to tell. At it’s core, it’s basically a set up to introduce Natasha’s sister, but it doesn’t feel like it pushed that angle as much as it should have.
