Movie Review – Sound of Freedom
—
There are a multitude of metrics to use for grading a movie. If a friend asked you, “What grade would you give Sound of Freedom?” How would you respond? This was not an enjoyable movie. I dare say, something is wrong with anyone who enjoys watching Sound of Freedom. But unfortunately, this is a movie…

Movie Review – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
—
After the abomination that was Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull this latest (And last?) Indiana Jones movie only needed to avoid being an abject embarrassment. Mission accomplished. I’m not saying Dial of Destiny was great, but it was mostly good. And that’s good enough. And so, I’ve been sitting here for fifteen minutes trying to come up…

Movie Review – Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
—
“Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken” is a delightful animated film that not only boasts impressive graphics but also delivers a heartwarming and morally uplifting story. The movie manages to strike a perfect balance between visually stunning animation and a meaningful message, making it a standout experience for audiences of all ages. First and foremost, the graphics…

Movie Review – Asteroid City
—
I have no doubt, that as soon as we can ask an AI to create a feature movie we won’t have to specify that it be like a Wes Anderson movie. That will be the default. If you’re not already aware, when you prompt an AI to create something it will sometimes go off the…

Movie Review – No Hard Feelings
—
No Hard Feelings accomplishes everything you could want in a comedy/drama. There’s no question that it’s funny. The audience in my theater laughed out loud many times. Additionally, Jennifer Lawrence nails her no-nonsense character. It’s a character that Jennifer has played in numerous movies, so I’m left wondering if this is acting or just letting…

Rewatch Review – Mission: Impossible II (2000)
—
Sometimes things are very finely balanced. One little nudge and things all fall apart all over the place. Such is sometimes the way with the casting of films and Mission: Impossible II is no exception. For example, the role of Mission Commander Swanbeck was originally offered to Ian McKellen. He turned it down due to…

Movie Review – Elemental
—
Elemental was structured perfectly. The story was very poignant, yet was still simple enough for the younger children to understand the message. They tackled some difficult issues and brought them to a level that the whole audience could appreciate. I’d say this is the perfect family movie. I was lucky enough to see it with…

Movie Review – The Blackening
—
Considering everything we know about horror movies, the one thing that Black people know for sure is that the Black character usually gets killed first. However, who dies first when all the characters in the movie are Black? This comedic thriller is about a group of friends that rent a cabin in the woods to…

Movie Review – The Flash
—
I wasn’t looking forward to this movie and to be honest, I really didn’t want to like it. The DC Extended Universe has been a hot mess and now James Gunn is coming in and burning it all down. It’s unclear how much, if any, of the current DCEU will carry over to the new…

Movie Review – Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
—
Heads up, I’ve read over my review and I’d give it a C-. (Not the movie; this review gets a C-.) I ranted way too much for a movie that I didn’t hate. Sometimes I just can’t help myself. MacGuffins It shouldn’t come as any big surprise that this movie feels like it was assembled…
