X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
2019 | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Truth be told, I feel like this movie got a bad rap. I don't think there was anything particularly heinous at all. Graphics were better than average. Acting by much of the cast was on par with expectations. I feel like as the final entry in the foreseeable future for the X-Men franchise, some people might have had inflated expectations. If you give it a go, have an open mind. It isn't Endgame. It's not going to tie nicely with a bow all of the movies that preceded it. But it is enjoyable in its own rite.

Dante's Peak (1997)
1997 | Action
There was a period during the mid to late 1990s where disaster movies seemed to come in pairs.

In reverse release date order: Armageddon and Deep Impact. Or Volcano and Dante's Peak (this one), aka the one in which James Bond helps the future mother of the saviour of mankind (sorry, sorry: Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton) rescue her kids from an exploding volcano after they go up said mountain for plot reasons.

A pretty standard by-the-numbers disaster movie, then, with the expected pyrotechnics, clunky dialogue and, yep, even the town meeting where the inhabitants refuse to listen..
