Movie Review: The Karate Kid (2010)

Source I remember watching this in theaters when it first came out. I also remember the disappointment I felt after watching it. It's been a while since then, and I thought that time and the fact that it is free would dull the disappointment, but it hasn't. I am still as disappointed as I was... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Exit Strategy (2012)

Source Exit Strategy was a difficult sit because of how hard it tries to be quirky and funny. The problem with this movie is that the actors aren't charismatic enough to make the movie work. The poor script and mediocre acting lead to some very flat performances and a film that is never funny. To make... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Heat (1995)

Source If you want to see a classic and thrilling heist movie, you can find Heat free on YouTube. This heist movie focuses on a cat and mouse chase as a cop and a crook battle it out in the mean streets of Los Angeles. You have a fantastic cast telling an amazing story, what more can...

Movie Review: Burning Kentucky (2019)

Burning Kentucky is a very unremarkable movie about loss and grief that you haven't heard of for good reason. It isn't a bad movie, but it leaves no tangible impression. I struggle to remember what this movie is about and I just watched it. You can find it free on YouTube, but you are better off... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Overboard (1987)

Source The plot of the original Overboard makes me uncomfortable because of the unethical misogyny. A man takes in a woman who has lost her memory and tricks her into being the perfect housewife. If you like cheesy 80's comedies and you can overlook this flaw, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have enough charisma and chemistry to... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Last Holiday (2006)

Source Queen Latifah proves once again that she can be good in anything. This isn't a very good movie, but I can't deny that her performance gives this movie its life. I liked it when I watched it long ago, but watching it again came with the uncomfortable realization that Last Holiday has not aged well. It... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Don’t Get Caught (2018)

Don't Get Caught is an action stoner comedy that you haven't heard of for good reason. This lazy and uninspired movie does not deserve your time. The acting is horrible, the editing is terrible, and there is no plot. You can find this movie free on YouTube, but it isn't worth the trouble. There is absolutely... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Once Bitten (1985)

Source I was unimpressed by Once Bitten. This comedy has not aged well. A lot of the jokes no longer land, making this movie feel as eternal as the life of the vampires in it. Once Bitten is an absurd and unstructured comedy that relies heavily on the absurdity of the narrative. You have a matron of vampires who... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Gone Tomorrow (2017)

Gone Tomorrow is the uninteresting thriller you will probably forget watching. While there isn't anything objectively bad about this movie, it doesn't have the presence needed to make it work. It feels like a lesser unintended Taken reboot, but I would much rather be watching Taken. This movie is about a group of stoic brothers who are searching for their... Continue Reading →
