Yogi Bear (2010)
8/10
My 1 big complaint is 72 minutes long with no end credits.
It is a straight forward movie with a simple villain that wants power, and to make a high amount of money.
The Romance plot with Rachel and Ranger Smith isn't contrived, Yogi, Ranger Smith, Rachel and others have to save Jellystone Park, and expose the dirt if Mayor Brown the main Villain that wants to become Governor so more power, also make money for other buisnesses also himself by shutting down Jellystone Park.
He does have a loyal Army which is shown.
The characters including Yogi Bear on the mark, funny parts including repeated backfires, and a decent entertaining funny movie with a decent exciting Climax persons having to save Jellystone Park.
If Scooby Doo ever gets a feature non animated reboot the same writer should write the reboot Scooby Doo movie because it was on the mark for Yogi Bear while the 2 Scooby Doo movies was unfunny garbage same as the Ted movies, South Park and Family Guy.
The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
10/10
A Great Action Comedy drama movie that has a perfect literal title. It's mostly the Bodyguard having to get the Hitman to a Courthouse because he has tangible incriminating evidence about a remorseless nefarious dictator.
The Nefarious Dictator the Big Bad has a army so it is a challenge for Darius the Hitman and Michael the bodyguard to get to the courthouse since he's sending his army to Kill Darius and Michael.
It does remind me of 48 Hours but still unique, great Action, exciting great climax, decent dialogue and memorable terrific lines including from the charismatic Darius, formidable Villains, great drama, great soundtrack with recognizable songs, great ending, and resolutions to subplots.
Unique believable likable characters including the main 2 Darius and Michael both have great chemistry it's great, also sensible reasons why the violence happens no lameass lazy senseless violence, great fast irony for 1 scene, also the beautiful busty babe Salma Hayek is Sonia a babe that smashes and defeats predatory guys that were harassing her and sexually assaulting her.
Excellent that she plays a badass babe that can kick ass and defeat foes which is not a dime a dozen for Salma Hayek babe characters. The same as Sarah Connor from Terminator 2 she is that kind of badass woman.
This is how Darius met her and was turned on that she sees a beautiful woman kicking ass so the best combo of physical beauty and violence because she was working as a cocktail waitress.
Darius didn't intervene because he saw her kicking ass, and at the bar decided to enjoy something entertaining and exciting.
It has surprises because unlike most other Hollywood action movies the writer decided real world physics and mortality showing it's unsafe to break a window with a unprotected hand, jump from a high distance landing on hard ground will be painful, etc.
I, Robot (2004). 8/10
Haven't seen the movie in a while. Was fairly ambivalent the first time I saw it. Last night I watched it and really enjoyed it. Was it my own prejudices about some of the changes that caused mixed feelings when it came out? I don't know. Maybe I'm just growing up (though I doubt that).
Now I think it's a great movie. Would Isaac Asimov have liked it? I don't know. But I like to think so.

my only nick pick about raw is i was expecting a lot more nudity in the film, especially from a french movie
Perv. Even though there wasn't much actual nudity there was plenty of, shall we say, "comfortableness" with the body.
I guess sisters might be different (perhaps especially French sisters), but I'd never expect my brother to help me shave my pubes. 😂
Drive
Innerspace (7/10)
Manhunter
The Guest (2014)
All great films, Innerspace was quirky and fun with some of the comedic moments mixed in with some body horror elements but the other movies blow it away. Manhunter even had some Better elements than Red Dragon (Graham was portrayed better, and I liked some of the bits between Dollarhyde and the Blind woman). In some ways it's probably a truer adaptation of the book but Anthony Hopkins and Fiennes's performance make Red Dragon slightly better to me. The Guest and Drive are just both amazing films with killer soundtracks. Blood, synth pop, and violence are always a winning formula for ne
