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

An entertaining biopic, with a fair portion of the film like a behind the scenes look into how 'Dolemite' was made. It's fairly inspiring as Rudy Ray Moore/Dolemite never gave up despite a number of setbacks. Eddie doesn't look much like Dolemite and is naturally more comedic and charming. He does a good job but it's not the closest likeness you'll find in a biopic. I was asking myself as I was watching this if Dolemite was really the great guy that he was being painted as? Maybe he was but it seemed too good to be true at times. He did steal jokes and basically his persona from a homeless guy. I expected that to come back on him at one stage but never does. While it is entertaining, the main problem I had with it, and what stops it receiving a higher rating from me is the comedy. I rarely found Dolemite's act or jokes humorous and the laughing from the audience was over the top.

Given the title is a musical genre, I expected some more intricate details about the invention and production process of g-funk. It begins promising but I don't feel like this is the most focused documentary. At times it kind of develops into a general documentary about West Coast hip hop, with the obligatory Suge bashing, Pac talk, and East Vs West details. Daz's influence seems to be left out of this and similar documentaries as well. He is featured briefly where he answers one question, but maybe that's all we got because he seems high. I don't know. This did remind me that I need to check out more of the original funk that is sampled so heavily in so many g-funk classics though.
