My week could have shaken out in such a way that the first 2025 film I saw was Wolf Man, though at this point, it remains to be seen whether that will actually happen. It might happen later today, but it might not happen at all -- the movie is already gone from one theater where I might have seen it, after only a week, and some of the other convenient theaters only have it at inconvenient times. Which is especially strange given that director Leigh Whannell is Australian.
But come on. I couldn't let it go down like that. It had to be Back in Action, because I am, indeed, back in action.
My actual return to film watching, after two nights off, was The Retirement Plan, which could have had its own symbolic value if I were sick of ranking films. But again I say: Come on.
The third film, and first released in 2025, was Back in Action, and it was actually really fun.
I'm not here to give you an in-depth discussion of this movie that is not very deep. But it is really light on its feet, and I laughed out loud more than a half-dozen times. If you want my review you can read it here.
And no need to really go on at length about this either ... I just liked the obvious title for this post and I couldn't resist.
