Little Dancing, Lots of Fighting: “Ballerina (From the World of John Wick)” – Review
“Ballerina (From the World of John Wick)” is a good action film in its stunts, creative fight scenes, and basic premise. However, the film quickly takes off to unbelievable heights, making it hard to stay invested. Eve’s story feels like the “John Wick” trilogy (it takes place before “4”) of compressed into one film. The action is a couple notches too high and the characters are a couple notches too low.

Dean Deblois’s “How to Train Your Dragon” (2025) is a Creatively Bankrupt Display of Greed and Ego – Review
DreamWorks may have finally earned its title as a dream factory now that it has manufactured the same idea twice. They use the same script, recreate the music, and force actors into shapes they were never going to fit into. Dean Deblois returns as director, leaving Chris Sanders out of the picture altogether this time. The whole thing stinks of greed, ego inflation, and creative bankruptcy.
