Movie Review – Those Who Wish Me Dead
—
Have you ever had your friend tell you a story that they were excited about but sounds bland to you and they end with, “I don’t do it justice, it’s better if you were there”? This is that kind of movie. It’s not bad — it’s just bland. You will experience touching moments here and…

Is Star Trek V: The Final Frontier the worst Trek movie?
TL;DR — I remembered The Final Frontier as terrible back in 1989 (and the plot/climax really is), but to my surprise it has a lot of lovely moments, decent humor, and good characterizations between the Big Three. It had its heart in the right place. The actors went all in, and the topic itself, if…

Primer for Guardians of the Galaxy
There are some spoilers here, but this is intended as a primer for the first 30 minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 1, that can at times be a little confusing. First, you need to have seen the after credit scene for Thor 2: The Dark World. That’s where Sif and Volstagg – members…

Movie Review – Wrath of Man
—
TL;DR If you like Jason Statham, and/or the director Guy Ritchie, then you’re bound to enjoy this movie. I don’t think Wrath of Man will go down for either as their best work, but neither disappoints. There’s a lot to like in this movie, but at the same time it’s hard to watch because of…

Indie Movie Review – The Slayers
The Slayers could have been a lot better than it actually was. There were some good ideas which, I thought, promised a lot but never got fully developed. We start off in a plain room filled with people all dressed in white gowns. At first glance it could be a therapy scene from One Flew Over The…

Movie Review – Greenland (and other disaster films)
Disaster movies are my favorite genre. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not the best movies in the world by far. But damn good entertainment. Considering the genre as a whole, I think Greenland lands comfortably in the top third. Mild spoilers ahead. Dramatic, but not overly so One commonality among many disaster movies is…

Movie Franchise Rewatch – Star Trek IX: Insurrection
Insurrection is one of those movies that you kind of forget about after seeing, which explains my inability to get this review out on time. It’s very…lightweight. To its credit, it feels like a middle of the road Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. I say credit, because a middle of the road TNG ep…

Movie Analysis: A Deeper Look at Mortal Kombat
—
Mortal Kombat… Need I Say More? Wow. I’ve gotta start off saying I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting may not have been top notch. Cole specifically… But the storyline was decent. The nostalgia was there. The corny humor sprinkled throughout. The finishes and fatalities…it was all worthwhile. There are spoilers below. Proceed with caution… .…

Movie Review – Mortal Kombat
I used to play MK back in the 90s, but haven’t played it since and haven’t kept up with the mythology built around it. My wife has never played the video game and was confused by the plot and asked many questions. I told her she was overthinking it. There’s good guys and bad guys…
