‘The Fall Guy’ Review: Despite Big Stars and Bigger Stunts, Things Here Fall Flat

David PalmerLeave a comment

Sometimes having hot actors and a $130 million budget isn’t enough… “The Fall Guy” follows a career stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who sets out to locate the missing star of the movie he is shooting, which is being directed by his ex-girlfriend (Emily Blunt). Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer, and Stephanie Hsu also star, as… Continue reading ‘The Fall Guy’ Review: Despite Big Stars and Bigger Stunts, Things Here Fall Flat

If there’s one thing you know you’re going to get when you sit down to watch a Radio Silence film, it’s blood. “Abigail” follows a group of criminals (Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, and Giancarlo Esposito) who kidnap a young girl (Alisha Weir) in an attempt to extort… Continue reading ‘Abigail’ Review: A Sometimes Fun, Sometimes Clunky Blood-Soaked Thriller

Sometimes if you want to star in an action film, you have to make one yourself. “Money Man” stars Dev Patel as a young man who sets out on a quest for revenge against a corrupt police chief (Sikandar Kher). Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Sobhita Dhulipala, and Vipin Sharma, also star, as Patel makes his directorial… Continue reading ‘Monkey Man’ Review: Some Swagger, Some Lull

Much like heights, I don’t necessarily have a fear of spiders, but I do have a healthy respect of them… “Sting” follows a young girl (Alyla Browne) who finds an alien spider, only for it to begin to rapidly grow and begin to terrorize her family’s apartment complex. Ryan Corr, Penelope Mitchell, Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazelhurst, Silvia Colloca,… Continue reading ‘Sting’ Review: An (Albeit Familiar) Creepy Crawler Creature Feature

David Dastmalchian deserves to be bigger star, hopefully he gets his own Cillian Murphy-type moment one day! “Late Night with the Devil” stars David Dastmalchian as a 1970s talk show host who on Halloween night brings on a clairvoyant, a skeptic, and a purportedly possessed girl in an attempt to boost ratings. Laura Gordon, Ian… Continue reading ‘Late Night with the Devil’ Review: A Moody, Chilly Slice of 70s Horror

‘Arthur the King’ Review: A Feel-Good Story Worthy of a Silver Medal

David Palmer1 Comment

Between Messi from “Anatomy of a Fall” and Arthur here, maybe the Academy should introduce a Best Animal Actor award… “Arthur the King” is based on the true story of a stray dog that follows a team of endurance racers (Mark Wahlberg, Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Ali Suliman) along their 435 mile competition in… Continue reading ‘Arthur the King’ Review: A Feel-Good Story Worthy of a Silver Medal

‘Dune: Part Two’ Review: An Improvement Upon the First on Every Level

The accounting departments of rival studios must be crazy good at their jobs, it’s the only excuse for recent blockbusters looking as cheap as they do with massive budgets while the “Dune” series looks far better with less costs. “Dune: Part Two” is the follow-up to the 2021 film, both based on Frank Herbert’s novel… Continue reading ‘Dune: Part Two’ Review: An Improvement Upon the First on Every Level

‘Lisa Frankenstein’ Review: Weird and Wild Throwback to the 80s

Sometimes it’s ok to be weird! “Lisa Frankenstein” is a modern (esque) inspiration of Mary Shelly’s famous novel. In the film, a 1989 teenager (Kathryn Newton) accidentally wishes a corpse in a local graveyard to come alive (Cole Sprouse), and tries to turn him into the man of her dreams. Zelda Williams directs and Diablo… Continue reading ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ Review: Weird and Wild Throwback to the 80s

We need to regulate who is allowed to be labeled “a twisted mind” because a half-dozen films into his career I can promise you, Matthew Vaughn is not one of those people. “Argylle” follows a spy novelist (Bryce Dallas Howard) who is suddenly thrust into a real-life game of cat-and-mouse when her books turn out… Continue reading ‘Argylle’ Review: An Occasionally Fun, Often Messy Spy Romp

A bad PG-13 horror film released in the first week of January?
