Attempt to merge the action stylistics of “Bullet Train” with the religious horror of “The Exorcism” does not work and derails long before its running time is up. William H. Macy is wasted in a supporting role as a priest; by this point, he’d best pray to God he gets another role like “Fargo” before he calls it a dayhttps://dlepik.com/2026/06/05/master-of-the-universe-1-2-out-of-four-was-a-cheesy-low-rent-action-adventure-about-a-young-man-matthew-garemske-who-must-utilize-all-his-extraordinary-powers-to-fight-back-aga/dlepikcomen2026-06-05T10:59:16+00:00“Master Of The Universe” (*1/2 out of four) was a cheesy, low-rent action adventure about a young man (Matthew Garemske) who must utilize all his extraordinary powers to fight back against a sinister and subversive force that threatens to overtake him and his village people. Made as a quickie cash-in to capitalize on the new “Masters Of The Universe” (if you couldn’t guess by its title) but it’s pretty tawdry and lame. Basically a Roger Corman version of “He Man”, if that at all sounds entertaining to you.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/05/scary-movie-1-2-out-of-four-was-an-uproarious-reboot-of-the-classic-parody-series-about-various-friends-anna-farris-regina-hall-marlon-waylans-shawn-wayans-who-regroup-and/dlepikcomen2026-06-05T10:58:46+00:00“Scary Movie” (***1/2 out of four) was an uproarious reboot of the classic parody series about various friends (Anna Farris, Regina Hall, Marlon Waylans, Shawn Wayans) who regroup and reunite when the masked killer Ghostface is on the loose again. Not only far better than the last few stale entries in this series but the best entry ever and is packed with laughs and up-to-date barbs about political correctness, social media, etc and various cameos (Shaq is particularly funny). A real off-the-wall surprise and a bullseye return to the series for The Wayans Brothers who are all in top form here.https://dlepik.com/2026/06/05/cougar-out-of-four-was-a-turkey-about-an-older-woman-mimi-brown-with-a-shady-past-who-moves-to-a-new-neighborhood-and-meets-a-young-man-cashiff-kennedy-and-they-begin-a-steam/dlepikcomen2026-06-05T10:57:48+00:00“Cougar” (* out of four) was a turkey about an older woman (Mimi Brown) with a shady past who moves to a new neighborhood and meets a young man (Cashiff Kennedy) and they begin a steamy affair that turns sordid and leads to deadly consequences. Umpteenth retelling of “Fatal Attraction” except this one is fatally short on thrills, scares, or any dramatic interest. Pretty hard to take, on all levels.
