Movie Review – The Call of the Wild
Call of the Wild maintains the spirit of the story from the original book — by the same name — while making necessary changes so that this movie version will be more palatable for youngsters. If anyone tried to make this movie perfectly loyal to the original story, no parent would dare let their young…

Movie Review – Carol of the Bells
Carol of the Bells is a lot like a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I don’t mean this in a good way. You could see the seams in the acting and directing transitions, and it didn’t come across as a polished story. That said, Andrea F. Friedman, the actress with Down’s Syndrome, stole the show…

Here’s a candid movie review of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie by YouTuber — and Sonic fan — Nick Robinson. [Spoiler alert: he also has some great things to say about the RunPee app near the end of the review. Thanks Nick!] Sonic movie review video: I’m not a Sonic fan myself, so I couldn’t…

Movie Review – Fantasy Island
—
Fantasy Island started off slow and became a fairly solid movie towards the last half. Early on I wasn’t bonding with the characters — it felt forced and really fake at first glance. But then they stepped up the game. Once we were thoroughly into the story, and we’d learned a thing or two about…

Movie Review – Downhill
—
I loved this movie. It was absolutely not the normal Will Ferrell comedy I was expecting. I love his comedies: Step Brothers is in my top 5 movies, but this wasn’t remotely like that. It was great in so many different ways. Here’s a heads up first: don’t go expecting a comedy. I mean there…

Movie Review: A Star Wars Ewok Adventure – Caravan of Courage
Because I’m a masochist completist, I decided to watch everything Lucasfilm put out about Star Wars. Even if it sucks. I’ve got the atrocious yet fun Star Wars Holiday Special under my belt, plus The Battle for Endor (just bad bad bad), and now mockumentary Return of the Ewok (terrible production values, but enjoyable). RunPeep…

Movie Review – Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
—
What Birds of Prey lacks in story it makes up for — mostly — in humor and action. Margot Robbie single-handedly saves this movie from toilet of underachieving movies. And let’s face it, no one is going to see this movie for any other reason than Margot’s wickedly perfect personification of the pseudo protagonist —…

Star Wars Mockumentary Movie Review – Return of the Ewok
I’ll start this mini-review saying Return of the Ewok is quite sweet, if you can get your hands on a copy — even the bad one currently up on YouTube. This fun little 25-minute mockumentary features Warwick Davis as himself and Wicket the Ewok (inserted Forrest Gump-like) into various scenes of Return of the Jedi.…
