Film Reviews
Film Review: “Wish”
After a series of misfires that seriously threatened the House of Mouse, I am proud to report that, with “Wish,” Disney is back!
Film Review: “The Marvels”
Even with wall-to-wall action, “The Marvels” feels almost formulaic in its story.
Film Review: “As We Know It”
The ineffective script, general purpose of the plot and character conversations in “As We Know It” are apparent early-on
Film Review: Courtney Gets Possessed
“Courtney Gets Possessed” has some pretty solid comedic bits, like an unusually hot pizza guy, mom stopping by to give a gift lube, and the way the film wraps up like some kind of offbeat Satanic sitcom
Film Review: “Killers of the Flower Moon”
A sprawling epic, “Killers of the Flower Moon” boasts award winning performances by the three leads, who breathe life into characters that would come off as two dimensional in the hands of lesser actors.
Film Review: “The Burial”
Buoyed by strong performances by Foxx and Jones (both former Oscar winners), the film is full of strong performances.
Film Review: “The Hive”
Despite an interesting set-up, “The Hive” does nothing outside of its first 10-15 minutes of exposition. It seems perfectly content with cyclical dull scenes of characters repeating dialogue and information
Film Review: “Night of the Hunted”
“Night of the Hunted” is a violent, tense, entertaining flick that will twist your stomach up in knots
Film Review: “Herd”
There’s a lot of skill, craft and effort in “Herd,” but all of that was bogged down by an uninspired script that made the 97-minute runtime feel like a zombie crawl.
Film Review: “When Evil Lurks”
“When Evil Lurks” is an unholy assault on your senses with sudden nihilistic violence and an overall feeling of hopelessness
Film Review: “V/H/S 85”
“V/H/S 85” is the best of the franchise; it’s a retro blast utilizing blood and guts to ingenious levels.
Film Review: “Condition of Return”
The old cliché phrase of “It’s so bad, it’s good,” applies to all 93 minutes of “Condition of Return”
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!
