A Haunting in Venice is based on Agatha Christie’s novel A Hallowe’en Party and is the third of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptations of her work. I enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express and Death on...

If 2023 has proven anything, it’s that giving people what they want leads to success. Barbie is the most glaring example, an expected hit that turned into a phenomenon by pleasing its target audience....

The good part about Hollywood being stuck in a creative slump is the surprise of finding an unexpected gem while mining through the coal passing as entertainment. I had no interest in seeing Gran Turismo;...

However bad you think Blue Beetle is, it’s worse. I was surprised; I figured it would be a dull but fairly innocuous superhero movie, forgettable but harmless. It isn’t; it’s one of the most aggressively...

What is the ratio of times you’ve really enjoyed a Netflix movie vs. times you’ve cursed yourself for starting one? It’s got to be around 1:100, right? I mean, on the good side, there’s The Irishman,...

The Last Voyage of the Demeter comes frustratingly close to being a good little horror movie – no classic, but an effective, thoughtful creep-fest. It’s got wonderful atmosphere, a strong cast, and...

Since I first heard about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, I’ve had mixed feelings. The trailers showcased a vibrant and unique animation style, and I liked the repartee between the brothers....

Meg 2: The Trench is the kind of movie that knows its limitations but tries to cover them up rather than make the most of them. The sequel to 2018’s The Meg, which I didn’t like, is better than its...

I saw Haunted Mansion this weekend. Coming out a week after “Barbenheimer,” I didn’t expect anything from this film, and I don’t think anyone else did, either. Pirates of the Caribbean notwithstanding,...

This week saw the release of the highly-anticipated Barbie. The world’s most famous and iconic fashion doll hit the market in 1959 and changed the toy industry forever. I loved Barbies as a kid, and...

Sound of Freedom is kicking up a big political stir, and while I certainly have my opinions on that score and whether this is an important film to see for social reasons, I’m not going to get into it...

Oppenheimer is a masterpiece. Usually, I don’t like to throw words like that around so soon after seeing a movie, but when this one ends, you’ve got to exhale. This a three-hour-long film about people...

In certain ways, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is exactly what it needs to be; in other ways, it falls short, as the series has pretty much since the beginning. Fortunately, it works...

Nimona has had an interesting path to the screen. This adaptation of ND Stevenson’s graphic novel began life at Blue Sky Studios, best known for animated comedies like Ice Age and Rio. The film was...

I didn’t know about Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken until the trailers started flowing. However, I was immediately encouraged by the colorful designs and unique concepts. I also like Lana Condor and Toni...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is what we all assumed it would be. It’s the next Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Terminator: Dark Fate, a movie that brings back a beloved character to humiliate him...

In the realm of modern comedy films, No Hard Feelings is the party animal who shows up to kick-start a boring party: the kid who spikes the punch at the prom, the guy who hijacks the sound system at a...

I haven’t been excited for Pixar’s Elemental. I’m a lifelong Pixar fan, and for years, their releases were an anticipated highlight of every year. I always saw whatever Pixar was putting out for...
