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
—

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…

Movie Review – Talk to Me
—
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with A24 for over a decade. To begin with, I found their movies so utterly bad that I refused to see them anymore. They were all that horrible, in my opinion. About two years ago, though, A24 surprised me. They released one, and I liked it. Then another and another.…

Movie Review – Barbie
—
Let me start by apologizing for not giving this movie the thoughtful review it deserves. I lack the time and the talent to achieve that. I enjoyed Barbie for the humor and snarky, sometimes subversive, pop-culture references. I loved Barbie for its insight and playful criticism that is inspiring to be more cognizant of my…

Movie Review – Oppenheimer
—
I realize my opinion may cut against the grain of popular opinion, but that’s never stopped me before. 🙂 What I liked The best thing about this movie is the superb acting, and not just by Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. In general, the acting by the entire cast is fantastic, which is a testament to…

Movie Review – Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
—
And here comes one of the big titles that everyone is hoping will turn the tide of poor box office results. Personally I think it’s a bit like the whole working from home ethos that became so popular during the various lockdowns. People liked being able to roll out of bed and start working while…
