Review: ‘Promising Young Woman’ is an original, bleak and effective revenge thriller

2020 is coming down to close in just a matter of days and typically this is the time of year where a majority of studios bank on some their movies getting that Oscar buzz, and it's weird to say that the Oscar buzz isn't the way it used to feel this time last year. It's … Continue reading Review: ‘Promising Young Woman’ is an original, bleak and effective revenge thriller

Review: ‘WW84’ is a cheesy, messy and outrageously entertaining comic-book thrill ride

Finally! WW84 is coming to theaters (and HBO Max) after multiple delays and other hold ups. Funny enough, WW84 originally was slated for a December 2019 release, until it got pushed back to November 2019, in order to not compete with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Warner Bros. then decided to push film to … Continue reading Review: ‘WW84’ is a cheesy, messy and outrageously entertaining comic-book thrill ride

Review: Pixar has struck gold, yet again, with ‘Soul’

Pixar is, arguably, the greatest studio in Hollywood history. Even the movies that are sub-par or aren't nearly the quality of some of the other ones (we're looking at you Cars 2), Pixar has struck magic with almost every movie the put out. From Toy Story, Inside Out or the recent fantasy adventure with Onward, … Continue reading Review: Pixar has struck gold, yet again, with ‘Soul’

Review: You’ll find the most heartbreaking and earnest performance of 2020 from Riz Ahemd in ‘Sound of Metal’

The deaf community is a community that deserves to be represented on screen, just like a specific race or gender gets treated, and over the past number of years there has been a few movies depict this culture in a meaningful way. Movies like A Quiet Place or Hush aren't necessarily about deaf culture, but … Continue reading Review: You’ll find the most heartbreaking and earnest performance of 2020 from Riz Ahemd in ‘Sound of Metal’

Review: ‘Greenland’ is the perfect disaster flick

Disaster films have one specific goal to accomplish and that's to just be a lot of fun and deliver on thrills and just complete destruction.

Review: Yet another video game movie biting the dust with ‘Monster Hunter’

Paul W.S. Anderson has never been a filmmaker on the level of a David Fincher, the Coen brothers or a Wes Anderson. He's pretty much Paul W.S. Anderson and it's safe to say that a lot of his movie are all similar. The Resident Evil movies may have their fans, as far as them being … Continue reading Review: Yet another video game movie biting the dust with ‘Monster Hunter’

Review: Mel Gibson’s grumpy performance in ‘Fatman’ makes this an odd and fun Christmas adventure

It might be a challenge for some to separate the art from the artist, depending on what the person is accused of, but can brush it off their shoulders no problem.

Review: ‘Mank’ is the best movie of 2020

We, as film fans, love to debate what the greatest movie of all time is. It's easily the most subjective question to ask because everyone will say something that's different.

Review: ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ has strong performances but mediocre execution

No matter how bad a new Ron Howard movie might be, we have to remember that Ron Howard is Hollywood royalty. This is the man behind films Apollo 13, Cinderella Man, Frost Nixon, Rush, A Beautiful Mind and the incredible and super undervalued fantasy adventure, Willow. Ron Howard will continue to be a celebrated director … Continue reading Review: ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ has strong performances but mediocre execution

Review: ‘The Croods: A New Age’ is an effervescent and inviting animated adventure

Dreamworks, as far as their animated properties go, don't get the appreciation that say a Pixar or Disney Animation typically gets. Aside from How to Train Your Dragon franchise and maybe the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Dreamworks' animated flicks are commonly targeting the more younger audiences. Whether you're talking about the three Madagascar movies, The … Continue reading Review: ‘The Croods: A New Age’ is an effervescent and inviting animated adventure
