Chaos Walking 
 
Doug Liman, we expect better from you.  We aren't mad, just disappointed.  
Chaos Walking is adapted from a novel by author Patrick Ness and has all the ingredients for a real gem- great, young cast, solid director well versed in action and narrative line, and bigger budget.  Still, a subpar film with promise early on and undelivered fulfillment on those promises.  Though- one thing does have to be said for Chaos Walking- It's releases in theaters when few others are, a fact that is very relevant in the middle of a pandemic.  Megastar Tom Holland and should be megastar but isn't Daisey Ridley take the leads in the dystopian Sci-Fi adventure where people can hear each other's thoughts in different forms of sound called "Noise" and there are no women.  Should be interesting, but it isn't.  (3/10)  
 
Cherry (Apple)
 
The latest Apple Original film is Cherry- A film about the journey of a young man from early adulthood (college) to the Army as a medic post 9/11, to back home where he has a wife and house waiting for him, to the pits of his own despair in the form of drug addiction ruining the life of those around him to robbing banks and then to an eventual incarceration and a pretty great mustache in the last few moments of the story.  It's a ride for sure.  Hopefully, you took it. It's worth it.  
Tom Holland is Cherry- a young man who goes through the above journey.  It's broken out into several different parts and an epilogue that is very pleasing to watch and an impressive montage to boot.  It's not an easy watch not is it fun, but very satisfying.  (6/10)
 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Chris Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.
