‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Review: A Scary, Violent Marvel Movie That Is a Welcome Change

David Palmer7 Comments

For the first time in I don’t know how long, a Marvel movie has a distinct style. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” follows Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he tries to save reality and a young girl (Xochitl Gomez) from an enemy that threatens to destroy multiple universes. Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor,… Continue reading ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Review: A Scary, Violent Marvel Movie That Is a Welcome Change

‘Memory’ Review: A Liam Neeson Shooter You’ll Soon Forget

David Palmer1 Comment

I’m convinced Liam Neeson is simply putting out the same movie every six months and waiting to see how long it takes people to catch on. “Memory” is the latest “Liam Neeson with a gun” film, this time following an aging hitman with early onset dementia who must save an illegal immigrant child from a… Continue reading ‘Memory’ Review: A Liam Neeson Shooter You’ll Soon Forget

‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ Review: Better Than the Average Nic Cage Flick

If I had a nickel for every film where Nicolas Cage talks to a lookalike of himself, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right? “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” stars Nic Cage as a fictionalized version of himself as he faces a recent struggle in… Continue reading ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ Review: Better Than the Average Nic Cage Flick

‘Morbius’ Review: Not Awful, But That Don’t Make It Good

David PalmerLeave a comment

This movie straight-up feels like it was filmed in 2003 and sat in the Sony archives for 19 years. “Morbius” is the third installment of the Sony Spider-Man Universe after the two “Venom” films, and follows the titular Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) as his quest for a cure to his disease which leads to… Continue reading ‘Morbius’ Review: Not Awful, But That Don’t Make It Good

Mark Rylance really is one of our unsung talents… “The Outfit” is the directorial debut of Graham Moore (who won the Oscar in 2014 for his “Imitation Game” screenplay), and follows a tailor in 1950s Chicago (Mark Rylance) who gets caught-up in the aftermath of a mob shootout. Zoey Deutch, Johnny Flynn, Dylan O’Brien, Nikki… Continue reading ‘The Outfit’ Review: A Simple but Effective Gangster Pic

‘The Adam Project’ Review: A Passable Yet Forgettable Sci-Fi Adventure

David PalmerLeave a comment

Not sure when multiverses and actors meeting younger versions of themselves became Hollywood’s go-to, but here we go again… “The Adam Project” stars Ryan Reynolds as a pilot from the future who crash lands in the year 2022 and must work with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to get back to his time. Mark Ruffalo,… Continue reading ‘The Adam Project’ Review: A Passable Yet Forgettable Sci-Fi Adventure

‘The Batman’ Review: A Sprawling and Grim Superhero Mystery

David Palmer3 Comments

For a superhero who is on his seventh actor portraying the character, it’s impressive that they’re still finding new ways to depict the Dark Knight. “The Batman” is a reboot of the titular hero, with Robert Pattinson taking over the role from Ben Affleck. The film follows Batman in his second year of crime fighting… Continue reading ‘The Batman’ Review: A Sprawling and Grim Superhero Mystery

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

‘Marry Me’ Review: Feel Free to Reject This Proposal

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

‘Blacklight’ Review: Another By-the-Book Liam Neeson ‘Thriller’

David Palmer2 Comments

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’
