Movie Review – The Brutalist
—
“No matter what people tell you, it is about the destination – not the journey!” To be sure, the journey of the main character’s (Laszlo Toth) life is filled with struggle, pain, and simply trying to “hang on” through unspeakable trials, tribulations, and tragedies. This movie is a modern-day epic that tests the patience of…

Movie Review – Jerry & Marge Go Large
—
There are plenty of movies that have probably gone under your radar in recent years, and Jerry & Marge Go Large could be one of them. It didn’t have a theatrical release and instead dropped on Paramount+ in 2022. The movie centers on an everyday couple who win big on the lottery, and its relatable…

Movie Review – A Complete Unknown
—
Without question, this is one of the most apt and suitable movie titles for a biopic that perhaps I can ever recall. Movies, including multiple documentaries, have attempted to increase our understanding of the man, the myth, and the legend who is Bob Dylan. Indeed, he remains an enigma wrapped up in a mystery. To…

Movie Review – The Fire Inside
—
There’s a lot to like, but not much to love. I have never heard of Claressa Shields before, so I knew nothing of the outcome of the story, although I can guess that if they’re making a movie then she had some success. I now this isn’t a fair comparison, but there was never a Rocky…

Movie Review – Nosferatu
—
Nosferatu is a cinematic masterpiece—especially the first half of the movie. I fully expect this movie will have an influence on noir filmmakers in the near future. The acting was a mixed bag. Lily-Rose Depp (Daughter of Johnny) was outstanding. And kudos to the writers—Robert Eggers, Henrik Galeen—for writing a script that would challenge Lily-Rose…

Movie Review – Sonic the Hedgehog 3
—
My gosh, I just saw the new Sonic 3 movie, and it was SO funny! Sonic was super fast like always, and Tails had the cutest tail ever! The Ohanimals looked really real, like they could jump out of the screen and play with me. Some of the jokes made me laugh so hard! There…

Movie Review – Mufasa: The Lion King
—
I got the impression from the movie that the creators were uninspired. It feels like someone at Disney HQ got the bright idea to make a prequel to The Lion King and then hired some writers to get the job done. The writers are: Irene Mecchi: The Lion King, Brave, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc.…

Movie Review – Kraven the Hunter
—
The good news: it could be worse. The bad news: not by much. The Action Some of the action choreography is good. Kraven at least has his own animalistic style. That’s something to enjoy. My only problem would be that the character is a little too over the top. It would seem that he has…
