Last Seen Alive (2022) 6/10

Predicable thriller with little thrills. Plays out more like a B-Grade film, there is one truly horrible CGI scene. Breakdown (1997) was far superior.

Agree especially with that CGI scene so I give it a 5.5 / 10.

Top Gun Maverick,

10/10 Brilliant, Brilliant movie, well worth the wait since 1986

loved how they got small details right, like the Fact Iranian F14's dont have Tailhooks,
and the fact that the entire mission mirrors a succesful Israeli operation in real life:

Operation Opera - Wikipedia

still want to know what the Mach 10+ Airplane in the Beginning was,
veiled reference to the Aurora?

You'll be happy to know that Top Gun Maverick cases are available for iPhones.

Tried watching "Ambulance" last night...fuk me, the only reason I got so far into the movie, was 'cos I dozed off.

They basically stole the bank robbery scenes from "Heat" and the ensuing car chases from "Ronin"...so at least they had good taste..

Dropped!!

Top Gun (1986): 6/10
Watched this over the weekend given the high praise for Top Gun: Maverick. Thought i would watch the first one prior to the sequel. This movie was pretty average. Gets some points because I really enjoyed the sunrise and sunset scenes of the flight deck and general flight deck shots. The story line was decent, but nothing captivating, it kind of plods along with some interesting bits.

I mostly concur with your review but would also add it's immense quotability.

Last Seen Alive 6.5/10 - Pretty much a remake of Breakdown (1997) but Gerard Butler gives 100%.

Hatching (2022) - 7/10. Solid body horror from Finland.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) 7/10

Well-played action comedy. Cage is Cage at his best. As to be expected extremely self-referential in the best way. Some of the comedy elements were overdone perhaps but otherwise a well thought out clever left-field approach. Goes without saying a must-watch for a Cage fan.
