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…

Movie Review – The Machine
—
When you’re trying to figure out what movie to see this weekend, I have some crucial advice for you. Being a huge Bert Kreischer fan, I was horribly disappointed with The Machine. Don’t get me wrong, there was some of his humor but nothing like what I was expecting. The humor is more so in…

Movie Review – Kandahar
—
TL;DR If you’re really in the mood for a Gerard Butler action film then I recommend rewatching any other movie he’s been in. It will be more enjoyable than this. Unpolished The script for this movie has potential, but it needs about a half-dozen rewrites before it should have been produced. The first half of…

Movie Review – The Little Mermaid
—
Hopefully, my 10-year-old grand-niece will go see this movie this weekend, and I’ll ask her to write a review because I can’t imagine why anyone would care what a 56-year-old man, who doesn’t care for musicals, thinks about a kid’s musical. But you’re here, so here goes. I guess the singing was pretty good, but…

Movie Review – About My Father
—
About My Father is a cute meet-the-parents type of comedy. These movies seem to roll off Robert DeNiro’s tongue without him even trying. Is it as funny as Meet the Fockers? No, but it was still a fun way to spend the afternoon. The story itself is a pretty old one, but what made this…

Movie Review – Fast X
—
Grading a movie like Fast X is a challenge. What do I grade it against? Other Fast and Furious movies? Other action movies, or holistically against all movies? I could try to grade Fast X with one of those approaches or a combination of them, but generally, I prefer to grade a movie against the best possible version of itself. Movies…

Movie Review – Hypnotic
—
I don’t think this should have been a movie. It would have been a better TV show. Come to think of it; it reminds me a lot of an episode from the X-Files—Pusher, season 3, episode 17. If you watch the extra scene in the credits, then it’s not too late. It might still be…

Movie Review – Book Club: The Next Chapter
—
There’s no denying that this movie set out to do what it intended. It’s fun galavanting around with these four long-time friends in exotic Italy. There are numerous laugh-out-loud moments in the movie and every actress gets her fair shot at the spotlight. Kudos to the writers: Bill HoldermanErin Simms. I’m moderately impressed with the…

Movie Review – Love Again
—
Love Again is a solid contribution to the romance genre that is likely to be remembered primarily, and lamentably, as the last film performance for Céline Dion since she was diagnosed with a rare neurological syndrome. If you haven’t seen, and don’t want to see, the trailer, then I’ll just let you know that Céline Dion…
