I don’t know who needs to hear this, but dogs are infinitely better than cats. This isn’t relevant to this film or review, but figured we’d just clear the air. “Dog” stars Channing Tatum as an injured U.S. Ranger who must transport the canine of his fallen commander to a funeral. Jane Adams, Kevin Nash,… Continue reading ‘Dog’ Review: A Goofy Comedy with Some Bark, Just No Bite
Owen Wilson doesn’t say “wow” even once this entire film; I feel that shouldn’t be legal. “Marry Me” stars Jennifer Lopez as an international popstar who, following a public breakup on the day of her wedding, marries a complete stranger (Owen Wilson) and must now get to know her new husband. Maluma, John Bradley, Chloe… Continue reading ‘Marry Me’ Review: Feel Free to Reject This Proposal
For a guy who announced he was going to retire from action movies, Liam Neeson sure does make a lot of action movies. “Blacklight” stars Neeson as an off-the-books FBI fixer who gets caught up in a government conspiracy. Mark Williams directs while Emmy Raver-Lampman, Taylor John Smith, and Aidan Quinn also star. Liam Neeson… Continue reading ‘Blacklight’ Review: Another By-the-Book Liam Neeson ‘Thriller’
For the fifth installment of a 25-year-old horror franchise being released in the typically dead month of January, this wasn’t half-bad! “Scream” is the fifth film in the storied scary movie franchise, started by the film of the same name in 1996 (though this is not a reboot or remake). Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and… Continue reading ‘Scream’ (2022) Review: A Brutal, Bloody, and Worthy Requel
If you Google “standard January movie release” this is what you’ll find staring back at you. “The 355” stars Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, and Fan Bingbing as a group of international spies who must put aside their differences to locate a stolen device that could trigger World War III; Sebastian Stan… Continue reading ‘The 355’ Review: Pretty-Looking People Stuck in a Pretty Bland Action Flick
I didn’t do a list for the Worst Films last year, I thought 2020 had enough negative things about it, but we’re back with a vengeance now! Overall, 2021 was a good year of films, and I had a pretty easy time making this list because there weren’t many truly bad films to need to… Continue reading Top 10 Worst Films of 2021
2021 was a weird year, perhaps even weirder than 2020, but it gave us a pretty solid slate of films. While the amount of “great” movies was less than in previous years, I think we were blessed with more than our fair share of very good films, as well as only a handful of titles… Continue reading Top 10 Best Films of 2021
Little did Sam Raimi know when he started cameras rolling on “Spider-Man” back in 2000 that he would be launching the first film of an accidental 20-year franchise… “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the third film of the MCU Spider-Man series starring Tom Holland in the titular role. Following the events of “Far From Home,”… Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Review: Fun, Ridiculous, and Surprisingly Emotional
Proof that just because you have an Oscar to your name and an A-List cast to work with, doesn’t mean you’re capable of making a genuine good film. “Don’t Look Up” is the third “serious” film from director Adam McKay, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as two scientists who discover a comet headed… Continue reading ‘Don’t Look Up’ Review: Adam McKay Misses the Mark Yet Again
Figures that the least Coen-y films are the ones by Coen Brothers I like the most. “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is an adaptation of the famed William Shakespeare play by Joel Coen, his first credited solo directing effort without his brother Ethan. Denzel Washington stars in the titular role, with Frances McDormand (also a producer… Continue reading ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ Review: A Hypnotic, Haunting Shakespearean Tale
