Movie Review – The Monkey
—
The Monkey is a new adaptation of Stephen King’s work that offers some imaginative kill scenes. I appreciated the unique creativity behind them, which occasionally made me chuckle unexpectedly. The film has a blend of horror and dark humor, creating a distinct atmosphere. It’s nice to see more of King’s stories on the silver screen.…

Movie Review – Ne Zha 2
—
Full disclosure: Prior to seeing this sequel, I had not seen the 2019 blockbuster original. Kind of a mistake, to be sure, but I made due. Also, by personal admission, I am in no way an expert in Chinese mythology, moreover as it relates to animated features. Yes, in regards to this genre, I am…

Movie Review—Na Zhe (part 1)
—
My wife and I watched the first part of the Na Zhe movie last night. (For free on YouTube.) I’m curious to see how Na Zhe 2 will pick up the story. I’m pretty sure they’ll have a few minutes in the beginning devoted to what’s happened so far. Na Zhe 2 is about 2 1/2 hours long,…

Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
—

It’s worn well over time. Things are relatively low-stakes as we get to know our main characters and this universe. Plus, I…

Movie Review – Paddington in Peru
—
The first two Paddington films set an incredibly high bar for family entertainment. They managed to capture both the whimsy of Michael Bond’s beloved character while adding layers of social commentary that resonated with adults. This third installment seems to miss that delicate balance. I don’t remember much about the first Paddington movie other than…

Movie Review – Captain America: Brave New World
—
The MCU’s latest entry struggles to find its footing, before it stumbles and falls on its face. Anthony Mackie delivers a strong performance and Isaiah Bradley’s presence adds depth, the movie struggles with execution in ways that even the most dedicated Marvel fans might find hard to overlook. Boring “I was bored.” That’s what my…
