Image by Firmbee from Pixabay This movie was okay. I Used to Be Famous is certainly the last resort movie, something you throw on when you have absolutely nothing else to watch. While it isn't a terrible movie, it is forgettable. This movie relies too heavily on trying to elicit feelings of sympathy and warmth towards a... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Candyman 2021

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.

Movie Review: Joe Dirt: A Beautiful Loser (2015)
Source Joe Dirt 2 is the sequel no one asked for. It isn't a direct sequel but rather a painfully unfunny and lazy parody of iconic movies starring Joe Dirt.
