The Recordist 

A world of expansion awaits.

A lonely little Hawaiian girl and her mischievous blue alien friend form a bond that heals both of their hearts, as well as ours. This live action version adds emotional nuances—notably in the sisters’ dynamic—while preserving the charm of the original.

As a cultural touchstone, Jaws has launched a thousand parodies, tributes, and memorable quotes.

One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.

In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.
