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).

Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree… Continue reading ‘Bullet Train’ Review: All Aboard for a Bloody (Mostly) Good Time

Along with Gosling, Canada has given us two Ryans that we are not worthy of. “Deadpool 2” is the sequel to the surprise 2016 hit about the titular foul-mouthed superhero.… Continue reading ‘Deadpool 2’ is More of the Same, for Better or Worse

‘Atomic Blonde’ Not as Big a Blast as It Should Be

David Palmer4 Comments

It’s been a good year for women at the movies, with “Wonder Woman” saving the DC Extended Universe and “Girls Trip” being the best comedy of 2017. We were due for a misstep eventually… “Atomic Blonde” stars Charlize Theron as an MI6 agent who must track down a defecting German with a list of undercover… Continue reading ‘Atomic Blonde’ Not as Big a Blast as It Should Be
