Movie Review – The Creator
—
This is a tough movie to review because there’s so much to unpack. Sad by probably true With all of the recent advancements in AI/Machine Learning (ML) it really feels that stories like this are moving from science fiction to this shit is about to get real. Robots and AI aren’t something that are over the horizon anymore.…

Movie Review – It Lives Inside
—
It Lives Inside was better than I thought it would be. I honestly didn’t know much about it going in, that worked out well for me because I had no expectations. So when I left, I left happy. One of the things I really enjoyed is the movie makers are giving us more movies that…

Movie Review – Expend4bles
—
Where to start? I guess with the script, that displayed zero creativity. And that’s a little surprising because the writers—Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart, and Max Adams—have collectively done some nice work in the past, such as Law Abiding Citizen, Equilibrium, The Terminal List, and Bumblebee. So they’re not exactly hacks, but if I were them,…

Movie Review – The Retirement Plan
—
If you’re looking for a fun movie with a huge cast of really great performances, then The Retirement Plan is what you need to watch. I had so much fun watching this movie. So many things are happening simultaneously that it makes for a fun night. I loved the variety of characters in this flick.…

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…

Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Screening
I really do enjoy this new thing of showing classic films in the cinema. Over the last few years I’ve seen Die Hard, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman, Cabaret, and others. Not to mention the annual Christmas Eve showing of It’s A Wonderful Life. Sometimes it brings back memories of seeing films when they first…

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…
