Movie Review – A Haunting in Venice
—
It doesn’t do anything to move the needle in the mystery genre, but if you’re a fan of the Hercule Poirot movies then you’ll probably feel right at home. This story did do an interesting job intertwining the aspect of the supernatural in a way that fits with a Hercule move. I checked IMDb and…

Movie Review – Bottoms
—
This is the kind of movie that defies any traditional review because it’s not a conventional movie by any means. It is supremely subversive and intelligent. I hope, I really truly hope, that there are more movies like this made by daring writers/directors who try to not only tell different stories but tell them in…

Movie Review – The Nun II
—
The Nun II gave me chills and so many thrills. Color me impressed, In my personal opinion it’s better than the first movie and I loved that one too. Part of what made this one better than the first is the characters have been introduced and now get to reprise their roles and the comfort…

Movie Review – The Equalizer 3
—
I still think the first Equalizer movie with Denzel Washington was the best, but this is certainly a worthy addition. What I’m most pleased with is that the writers/directors didn’t feel the need to continuously one-up themselves in the sequels. Ultimately, these movies aren’t so much about the action as the motivation behind the action. And to…

Movie Review – The Hill
—
I believe everyone has the right to their personal beliefs. Whether it be devoting your life to God or whatever, it’s your personal choice and no one should feel they have the right to tell you what to think. Free will at its finest. With that being said, this movie pissed me off. The movie…

Movie Review – Blue Beetle
—
It gives me no pleasure to give this move such a poor grade. There aren’t enough movies that cater to the Latino community, and it’s kind of important that when there is one, they get it right. Represent! You know what I’m saying? Team Failure Some movies have bad acting, but rarely is the acting so…

Movie Review – Gran Turismo
It’s not often that I get to review the new releases but the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has managed to prevent Gran Turismo being released in the USA for a couple of weeks. There were, apparently, some sneak previews across the pond but not the full release that was planned. It opened here last Friday so…

Movie Review – Last Voyage of the Demeter
—
The Last Voyage of the Demeter was amazing. I loved the way it kept the feel of an old horror classic. The movie concept was taken from a chapter within Dracula called, “The Captain’s Log.” That’s pretty crafty in my opinion. I was not familiar with any of the cast off the top of my…

Movie Review – Meg 2: The Trench
—
The first movie (The Meg) wasn’t great, but it was surprisingly enjoyable. My wife wanted to watch Meg 2 with me, so I rewatched The Meg with her the night before the sequel’s release. The Meg doesn’t try to be something it’s not. They just have fun with the concept and go over the top enough to make it fun.…

Movie Review – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
—
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem fully succeeded in reviving a timeless children’s classic cartoon. It took me back to my younger years and I found myself enjoying the movie. I feel its target audience is little boys, in my theater there were no little girls, which I found a bit odd but the amount of little…
