Movie Review: 'Master Gardener'
When do a person's recurring themes start to seem like their shtick? When does repetition turn into an obsession? I wonder because "Master Gardener" (1/2, currently playing in theaters) occasionally plays like a spoof of a Paul Schrader movie. It occasionally brims with the unholy virtues and ethical contradictions of this director's finest work. One way or the other, it's a movie to be reckoned with.

FAST X
Is the Fast & Furious franchise deserving of a triumphant victory lap? That's the central question surrounding the evaluation of "Fast X," a film that shamelessly resembles a Greatest Hits compilation from a highly successful artist. Not only does it directly tie into the monumental narrative shift of "Fast Five," but it continuously references other films in the series, either through explicit mentions or action sequences designed to evoke similar moments from "Fast & Furious 6," "Furious 7," and "The Fate of the Furious." Penned by Dan Mazeau and directed by Justin Lin (who departed the project due to creative differences, leaving his absence felt particularly in the choreography of action), the script feels like a self-referential loop, often veering into parody rather than providing a fresh entry that can stand on its own merits. Although the film offers entertainingly absurd action set pieces, greatly enhanced by Jason Momoa's enjoyable performance, there's an unmistakable sense of familiarity throughout "Fast X," rendering it more akin to reheated leftovers than a revitalized experience. It's worth noting that this film reportedly inaugurates a trilogy that will bring the series to a close. Let's hope that within the next two installments, they manage to introduce at least one innovative concept.
