Review: Terminator: Dark Fate, Motherless Brooklyn, and Parasite

​Fan service, ego, and one of the best films I’ve seen all year. “Terminator: Dark Fate” “Motherless Brooklyn” and “Parasite are on deck for review this week.

The biggest draw of “Terminator: Dark Fate” is the return of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger to the franchise. That’s about it. The rest is formula. I did love that it was female forward, but the logic of the film was lacking. Good think you don’t go to a “Terminator” film for logic. Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Gabriel Luna star. Tim Miller directs. 

“Motherless Brooklyn” is a meaningless meandering white knight/savior film that only serves to feed director/writer/star Edward Norton’s ego, and make fun of neruodivergent characters.
Edward Norton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bruce Willis, Leslie Mann, Willem Dafoe, Alec Baldwin, Cherry Jones, Bobby Cannavale, Michael K. Williams, and Fisher Stevens star. 

Finally director Bong Joon-Ho’s “Parasite”  is legitimately one of the best films I’ve seen all year (yes it was majorly hyped up but for once met those expectations). All I can say is the less you know about it going in the better.
