Source This movie is fine. The cast is charming and funny enough to make this movie work, but it isn't anything transcending and I doubt this movie's lasting power. This will not be your favorite comedy. That said, the acting is fine, the jokes are funny enough, and the story is decent. There are worse... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Choose or Die (2022)
Source I've seen enough of these curse game movies to have low expectations of the genre. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Choose or Die. While it may not leave a lasting impression, it isn't the worst way to spend two hours. I honestly believe it to be one of the better films in the genre. Choose... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore(2022)
Source I expected a lot more magic from a movie about wizards. While there are a few scenes that tickle my desire for wizard violence, it is often cut short for political garbage that I didn't care for. If I wanted to watch a political movie about zealots and corruption, there are better avenues. As far... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Source I've watched this movie a few times already, but even now forget what this movie is about. While I appreciate the attempt of bringing this older IP to a modern audience, it isn't a very good attempt. This is a Ninja Turtles' movie from the perspective of April. Instead of an action packed war... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)
Source I really wanted to like this movie because the mixed media style is great. Unfortunately, the interesting style does not hide how uninteresting and cliché this movie is. If you have to sit down and watch it with your kids, you will lose interest but there are worse movies out there. The movie treats... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Firestarter (2022)
Source This is a poorly executed movie that isn't worth your time. If you watched this movie in theaters, I hope you received a refund. Firestarter is boring; there is nothing interesting about this movie. Firestarter is a poorly executed horror thriller without any suspense or urgency. The plot is predictable and lazy, and the acting... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Dirty Work (1998)
Source Dirty Work is a movie about being petty. A man must raise $50000 to pay for life-saving surgery and uses his pettiness to earn it. He and his brother are hired to exact petty revenge. It is a silly movie with a great cast that has aged decently but not without its faults. While I... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Lost City (2022)
Source I wish Hollywood would stop making these uninspired and lazy movies filled with stars. It is a shameless way to get people to see a film that they would not otherwise consider. While The Lost City isn't a terrible movie, it is still a shameless cash grab at its core. The Lost City is the kind of movie... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: All We Had (2016)
Source All We Had is a neat little film you can watch for free on YouTube. It details the struggles of a mother and daughter dealing with their homelessness. The film focuses on their desperation as they search for a normal life. This movie deals with hard topics such as homelessness, transphobia, and substance and sexual... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Source I love the novel this movie is adapted from. I rank it among one my favorite books and recommend it to anyone looking for a new book to read. Although the movie isn't completely true to the novel, it is a fantastic adaptation that you must watch. I do hold the novel a bit... Continue Reading →
