Sinners

“Sinners” is a 2025 horror/thriller starring Michael B. Jordan (Just Mercy), Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), Delroy Lindo (Get Shorty), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), and Omar Benson Miller (8 Mile).

Two black gangsters (Michael B. Jordan) who work for Al Capone return to their home in Mississippi where racism is still thriving to open up their own Juke Joint. When a strange man shows up trying to get into their joint, it soon ends up being a fight for their lives against a supernatural entity that’s taking over their hometown.

When I first saw the preview to this, I knew I had to see it. Michael B. Jordan is one of the best actors today with an amazing reach, and this movie is no different. He plays both rolls of identical twins’ smoke and stack. It’s hard to tell exactly what this movie is about in the previews outside of it having something to do with vampires. It’s a slow burn to start with setting up the club etc., but once the vampires show up its nonstop till the end. It’s also heartfelt getting in your feels a couple of spots. It’s well done and will go down as a vampire classic. I give it 8/10.

Term Life

I recently read an article saying that ‘Term Life’ is one of the best streaming movies on Netflix, that you probably haven’t seen. I haven’t seen it or even heard of it, but it has a solid cast, so I figured I would give it a shot. It’s a 2016 crime/action movie starring Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Bill Paxton (Twister), Johnathan Banks (Breaking Bad), Jordi Molla (Bad Boys II), Terrence Howard (Empire), Mike Epps (Friday After Next), and John Favreau (Iron Man). Like I said a stacked cast, right? The story is actually really good as well, a professional who plans heists (Vaughn) gets mixed up with a dirty cop (Paxton) when a heist goes wrong. The dirty cop must now tie up loose ends by killing Vaughn and going after Vaughn’s estranged daughter (Steinfeld).

Sounds good, right? Well, summed up it’s terrible. I’m not sure who’s writing these articles on the “best” streaming movies you haven’t seen but their taste is terrible. There’s a lot to unpack here, mostly it’s cheesy, very cheesy. The acting seems forced, it’s like a bad made for TV movie, not a movie staring all these good actors. Vince Vaughn and Hailee Steinfeld play father and daughter, but the chemistry between them is flat. Also what is up with Mike Epps trying to play serious roles? He’s not good at it, he’s a funny dude, he should stick with what he does best. Every time he tries to play a tough guy, serious role it’s just always bad. My suggestion is to avoid this one, I give it a 4/10.
