Film Reviews
Film Review: “8 Found Dead”
“8 Found Dead” is full of delightful tension, more impressive by the fact it gives itself away in the title
Film Review: “MR-9: Do or Die”
The performances are strong and Akbar’s pacing spot on. Like “MI: Dead Reckoning,” the extended running time moves quickly. Another thing in common – there is more to this adventure to come.
Film Review: “Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose”
The film is based on a peculiar incident from 1930s Britain about, well, a talking mongoose. While that seems straightforward, the movie isn’t. Honestly, it’s odd attending a panel where everyone has a difficult time articulating what the film is about. It’s even odder watching the film.
Film Review: “Strays”
A word of warning though. Despite the posters featuring cute dogs, “Strays” is not for children. I was amazed at how many children were at the screening I attended. I was even more amazed that not one parent took a child out. So, if you’re looking for an outrageous time at the movies, give “Strays” a watch. But leave the kiddies home.
Film Review: Bad Things
There’s definitely a way better film in this tangled mess, but “Bad Things” can’t overcome being a bad thing
Film Review: “The Last Voyage of the Demeter”
A perfect combination of gore and terror, “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” is a trip you definitely want to take if you are a horror film fan.
Film Review: “The Pod Generation”
In a contemporary world begging for AI satire, “The Pod Generation” may have actually benefited from an AI editor
Film Review: “The Baker”
As summer winds down, and you are overwhelmed by all of the “Barbieheimer” social media posts, I recommend taking the time to seek out “The Baker.” It “rises” to the occasion.
Film Review: “Til Death Do Us Part”
“Til Death Do Us Part” mainly works because of its cast, which is ready and willing to get covered in blood
Film Review “The Haunted Mansion (2023)”
I really enjoyed the darker side of the story. The PG-13 rating really gave it a chance to go deeper into love, loss and finding oneself. But don’t let ’em fool you, the beginning had a good portion of excellent jump scares
Film Review: “Oppenheimer”
Overall, “Oppenheimer” is a satisfying movie that is educational, enlightening, and entertaining.
Film Review: “Mother, May I?”
Since “Mother, May I?” leaves every question unanswered, the film in of itself is like death. As the credits roll, we’re left wondering what if and why
Film Review: “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One” (Review #2)
Overall, “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One” is one of the two best movies of the summer season (the other being “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3”).
Film Review: “Tiger Within”
Though the film is not rated, it does deal with some serious issues. But it is the handling of those issues, and Asner’s performance, that make this film a must see!
Film Review: “Mad Heidi”
I relished every brutal bloody battle, every gruesome kill, every uncomfortable moment and all the little moments of absurd world building. For fans of B-movies with hyperviolence and immoral sexuality, “Mad Heidi” is a must
Film Review: “Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
Tom Cruise just turned 61 last week. But when you watch his latest action thriller you may not believe that. To call his latest “Mission Impossible’ epic “a non-stop rollercoaster ride of action” may actually be a slight.
Film Review: “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (Review #2)
There are multiple characters from Indiana’s past who make what are glorified cameos, but these do little to improve the story.
Film Review: “Mermaids’ Lament” (Review #2)
The cinematography, by co-DPs Roselia Hernandez and Ronn Murray, is beautiful, particular the underwater shots.
Film Review: “Joy Ride”
If you’re in need of a laugh – a real, genuine belly laugh – then I highly recommend “Joyride.”
Film Review: “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”
That being said, it’s a true pleasure to see Indiana Jones back on the big screen, where he and his adventures belong. After all, it’s not the years. It’s the miles!
Film Review: “The Flash” (Review #2)
What it boils down to is the writing and an ability to maintain a high creative level that will keep the movie-going public’s interest. “The Flash” may be a victim of that fatigue, which would be disappointing as it is a truly fun summer flick in every sense.
Film Review “Mermaids’ Lament”
This is a film that needs to be seen by everyone and experienced on the big screen. It is not a $100 million dollar blockbuster but you can tell that it was a real labour of love for everyone involved.
