I liked the first two BB films so I was always going to watch this. I don't have a great recollection of them, but going off memory, there is more drama here, that is quite intense at times, and given that, some of the comedy, largely what Martin Lawrence is in the movie for, as he does very little police work, feels out of place. Enough of it works to offer some laughs, but at times I thought it didn't. I didn't love how the movie ended. It became quite predictable, including the setup for the sequel. I didn't buy how quickly a murderous, cold-hearted cartel member, who has known one thing his whole life changed, and didn't seem impacted by his mother being shot and burnt to death. He reacted more strongly to meeting his father for the first time than he did his mother being killed. The cliched young guy on the squad not getting along with the experienced member, Will's character, for no reason at all, and then liking each other all of a sudden, for no reason at all, didn't work. It's like an important scene was cut. Despite some plot issues, it's fairly entertaining with some eye-catching action and a likeable cast.

I was a big fan of the live-action show back in the day. I had the Red Ranger dress up and other Power Rangers paraphernalia. While everything looks a little different here, from the suits, villains, to Alpha 5, this was still a decent dose of nostalgia. I don't know if it's happened with updated versions of the TV show but it's interesting that some of the Rangers changed colours. I guess they didn't want the black ranger to be black and the yellow ranger the Asian. The penny only dropped regarding that apparent coincidence between the colours and ethnicities a few years back. In 'The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' TV show, they get chosen and have nothing to prove, while in this, a lot of the movie is about them finding the power, earning the right to become power rangers and learning how to morph. It begins as a 'Breakfast Club' type of scenario with some of the rangers meeting up in detention and then bumping into the others along the way. The rangers all relate fairly well to one another and it's kind of a shame that the cast won't be reuniting for the sequel as this didn't reach the figures the studio needed it to.

A story about Phil, a single and socially awkward young adult's love for phones, that began when he was given a flip-phone as a youngster. His personality and adoration for his phone leads him to stay away from developing friendships and having a social life. Not long into the film, his phone breaks, he gets a new one, and this phone is quite special, thanks to the virtual assistant on the new phone, named Jexi. I didn't expect to like this one much. I never warmed to Adam DeVine in Workaholics and it seemed like one of those average comedies. It kept me consistently laughing though, partially thanks to Rose Byrne who works well as the voice of Jexi. Some of the character development/choices seems slightly rushed or odd but overall it's a fun film. 3.5-3.

A group of colleagues are taken on a team-building retreat but get trapped in a cave after an earthquake occurs. The opening ad made it seem like it was going to a 'woke' PC fest, but thankfully it isn't. Demi Moore leads the cast, as a conniving, egotistical boss, named Lucy, and the rest of the cast all play their role well, each with their own traits that add to the story. As they are trapped we learn about the details of the company, that isn't what Lucy portrays it to be, and the relationships between the characters. The main issue I had with the plot is that they resort to cannibalism before they seem to have exhausted all efforts to properly look for a way out, which is probably the first thing you'd do when you are trapped in any enclosed space and your life hangs in the balance. It hasn't received the best reviews from critics, but I don't think it's trying to be that much of a 'biting commentary on modern business' that one critic thinks it was trying to be. Some of the humour is almost gross-out, such as the aforementioned cannibalism, but it all works fairly well as a black comedy without being award-winning. 2.5-3

This is more of a general documentary about Sam's life than what the title suggests. It does delve into some detail about his death but if you're a fan and have done a bit of reading about him, there won't be a lot of new information, hence my average rating. All of the people interviewed in the documentary propose there was more going on than what the police suggested at the time of Sam's death. Everyone from the Mob, FBI and his shady manager are implicated. It's worth watching if your knowledge of his life and the conspiracies around his death are limited but otherwise you can probably spend 80 minutes in a more productive manner. 2.5-3
