Rating: R

Release Date: September 13, 2024 (Theaters)

I saw My Old Ass on a Thursday, and now I’m writing a review of it on a Tuesday. I would’ve written it sooner, but I was a little busy. I think this wait has been a blessing in my disguise, though, because now my old ass can tell my younger self how I really felt. Just like in the movie! And well, what I really felt is that this movie is: earnest, heartfelt, and filled with camaraderie. But in fact, I already knew that!🤪Sometimes we just have to trust ourselves.

Grade: 3.5 out of 5 Asses

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for September 2024:

Speak No Evil: I’ve seen the trailer for this about 6 million times in the past few months. It’s a remake of a Danish film that I’ve heard good things about. James McAvoy looks creepy. There’s also a mini-Halt and Catch Fire reunion.

Movie theaters will Speak No Evil on September 13.
