I was fortunate enough to get a ticket for an early screening ofย Wish, Disneyโs latest animated feature, which goes wide next week for Thanksgiving. Iโve been pretty excited for this movie despite...
I donโt go into many movies with a lot of hope nowadays, and I never expected a whole lot from horror films, so Iโm happy to be surprised on occasion. Thanksgivingย was one such treat, a fun, (mostly)...
The Killerย is what thrillers aspire to be, a suspenseful story about a professional death dealer and his world that sheds light on our own mundane lives. Weโre made to feel a kinship with an assassin...
Hollywood loves to capitalize on a holiday, and none more than Halloween. Doubtless, this has to do with horror movies being cheap to make and the fan base demanding little more than a few scares โ or,...
Killers of the Flower Moonย is Martin Scorsese taking his time. It doesnโt have the frenetic energy of some of the films for which heโs most famous, but its intimate, slow-burn story reveals itself...
I was surprised to have mostly enjoyed the first episode of The Continental. The second, โLoyalty to the Master,โ is more in line with my expectations for the John Wickย prequel series. Itโs a dull...
I had high hopes for The Creator. The trailer telegraphed a gorgeous-looking original sci-fi movie with human themes and a character-driven story. The film itself falls short of that promise. It looks...
The Expendables 4, or Expend4bles, is a yea or nay type of movie. Itโs not going to get a glowing technical score from anyone maintaining the slightest objectivity, but on an entertainment level, itโs...
A Haunting in Venice is based on Agatha Christieโs novelย A Halloweโen Partyย and is the third of Kenneth Branaghโs adaptations of her work. I enjoyedย Murder on the Orient Expressย andย Death on...
If 2023 has proven anything, itโs that giving people what they want leads to success.ย Barbieย 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, itโs worse. I was surprised; I figured it would be a dull but fairly innocuous superhero movie, forgettable but harmless. It isnโt; itโs one of the most aggressively...
What is the ratio of times youโve really enjoyed a Netflix movie vs. times youโve cursed yourself for starting one? Itโs got to be around 1:100, right? I mean, on the good side, thereโs The Irishman,...
The Last Voyage of the Demeter comes frustratingly close to being a good little horror movie โ no classic, but an effective, thoughtful creep-fest. Itโs got wonderful atmosphere, a strong cast, and...
Since I first heard about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Iโve 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 2018โs The Meg, which I didnโt like, is better than its...
I sawย Haunted Mansionย this weekend. Coming out a week after โBarbenheimer,โ I didnโt expect anything from this film, and I donโt think anyone else did, either.ย Pirates of the Caribbean notwithstanding,...
This week saw the release of the highly-anticipated Barbie. The worldโs 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, Iโm not going to get into it...
Oppenheimer is a masterpiece. Usually, I donโt like to throw words like that around so soon after seeing a movie, but when this one ends, youโve got to exhale. This a three-hour-long film about people...
